American actress Julia Roberts shot to superstardom with her breakthrough role in the coming-of-age major motion film ‘Mystic Pizza’, back in 1988. Since then, the Academy Award winning actress has gone on to star in genre-spanning (read: genre-defining) titles like ‘Erin Brokovich’, ‘Pretty Woman’, ‘Steel Magnolias’, ‘Ocean’s Eleven’, ‘Eat Pray Love’, ‘Homecoming’, and more.
However, before she successfully charted the waters of relatively intense genres, she reigned unabashedly over light-hearted rom-coms with films like ‘Notting Hill’, ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’, ‘Pretty Woman’, and ‘Runaway Bride’.
Revolving around a columnist in the US Today Ike Graham, ‘Runaway Bride’ follows as he writes about an intriguing small-town girl Maggie, who is infamous for always leaving her fiance’s standing at the altar. The story gains momentum when he is fired following her complaint to the newspaper for inaccuracies in the story.
Another Hollywood heartthrob Richard Gere stars alongside Roberts in the leading role in their (un)fortunately second and final collaboration. The ensemble cast for this feel-good rom-com also includes Joan Cusack, Héctor Elizondo, Rita Wilson, Kathleen Marshall, and more.
For those looking forward to catching this 90s gem as soon as possible or for those looking to scout for a new comfort film, head on to Disney+ Hotstar to catch ‘Runaway Bride’!
