Very good romantic comedy with some deeper aspects

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 1999)

Hi,
I was really very impressed by "Notting Hill". The story is not very probably to come true in real life, but I think no one expects that from such a film. But besides the very good play of the main actors, there are some special highlights, which make it real worth watching this film. First of all the side characters (his friends and especially Spike) perfectly fit and give the world around William a very sympathetic note. Spike is also responsible for more than half of the best laughs in the first part of the film. Another very good point of the film is to show people with disabilities as just normal people, but without putting much emphasis on doing so. This is a very well done part of the film.
So, if you go to the film, what will you see: A romantic comedy with many good jokes, very sympathetic figures, very good playing actors (not only Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts, but also the rest) and very good done insight about people with disabilities. So that gives a 9 out of 10 and the strong recommendation to see the film.
