Member Rating:  
This large, sprawling comedy directed by Robert Altman concerns a variety of romantic and personal intrigues that intersect against the backdrop of Paris's annual "Pret-a-Porter" fashion extravaganza. With 31 principal characters and a number of cameos from well known models, designers, actors and actresses, there's far too much going on to describe the film in a limited space, but Julia Roberts and Tim Robbins get stuck in a hotel room together, Danny Aiello wears a dress, Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni reignite their old passion (or at least try to), Stephen Rea humiliates a number of female journalists, Kim Basinger often looks dumbfounded, and Lyle Lovett plays a Texan (talk about imaginative casting!). Originally called Pret-a-Porter, this underwent a last-minute title change when the distributor discovered very few Americans understood what the French phrase means, with the English translation taking its place. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    This movie IS a Julia Roberts snorer - but maybe not as bad as "Eat, Pray, Love" (that DOES have great cinematography) - UNTIL the fashion show near the end of the film. To prevent a spoiler, let's just say that ALL fashion shows should be like this one for much better sassy style - and couture also would cost a LOT less and be a lot better. Ladies, just Fast Forward to nearly the end. They should have recruited Kate Middleton. For this reason, the film is getting a higher rating than it really deserves. For a better movie on the subject, but not a better fashion show, see "The Devil Wears Prada."

    So the title was changed because very few Americans know what "Pret-a-Porter" means? This American still doesn't know why he sat through this bore. The only good scene was the nude models at the end. Fast forward to it and your money won't be totally wasted.

    The acting is great. Commercials made it look highly funny. However, upon seeing it, I discovered it was amusing at best, but dull mostly.
