Was this movie the inspiration for...


Fifty Shades of Grey? A woman is quickly smitten by a man during a chance encounter. He wants her, but only for physical reasons. She has a quick talking roommate. They end up together anyway.

Haven't read it, but just read an article (half read it - got bored by it) about how the book started out as fanfiction for Twilight, and various people changed it so it didn't infringe copyright. Apparently, there are court cases about who actually contributed to the book.

If anything an inspiration for Pretty Woman. Rich guy picks up down-on-her-luck woman and buys her expensive clothes and takes her on fancy trips all to get her into bed....

As Vivian said in Pretty Woman, "I'm a sure thing." I don't see this movie at all resembling PW. It was a virgin sex farce with two aging actors hopelessly miscast.
