A romantic comedy that's good for a change

Rating: Null/10 (27 June 1999)

So many romantic comedies today are big box office draws with well known casts and do very well, unfortunately they often tend to be horribly written, unrealistic, and appeal large audiences. Notting Hill did away with this generalization of mine. Though not entirely realistic, it works its way around that by adding the realism by the characters reactions and development. The acting was well done all around and every character had depth and intrigue. And, above all else, it made for a simply great romantic comedy. This movie had the chance of being horribly done. Thank God that it wasn't.
