8 on a scale of 10

Rating: 8/10 (7 June 1999)

This was a pleasant movie to watch. I enjoyed it from start to finish. I'm glad I went. I rate it an 8.
However...... I was a little disappointed. I know it is unfair to base a movie's payoff on the expectations I had going in, but I had heard that it was fantastic, but I only saw it as another You've Got Mail.
I love Julia Roberts and I think Hugh Grant was more than adequate as a leading man. It's just that I didn't feel like the movie took control of me the way some romantic comedies do.
Still, I can't specifically think of any criticism of it that is worth mentioning. But, at the same time, it won't be a romantic comedy that I will remember like When Harry Met Sally or Roxanne or Pretty Woman or The American President.
