One of the better romantic comedies.

Rating: 10/10 (12 April 2003)

Of course, most romantic comedies are the same in story and flow. Boy meets girl, Boy loves girl, Boy loses girl, Boy gets girl back again. That's pretty much how it usually goes. NOTTING HILL adds a little spice to the usual and has a little more flavor than the typical romance movie.
Hugh Grant, Julia Roberts, Rhys Ifans, Tim McInnery, Gina McKee, and Emily Mortimer are all pretty decent here. The film is certainly nothing special, but it is quite entertaining and has some genuine laughs in it for once, as some of them are pretty crude and will most likely strike the fancy of any crude humor fan.
Of course, everyone has different tastes, but NOTTING HILL is one of the more entertaining romantic comedies of the last several years. NOTTING HILL: 4/5.
