Roberts is adorable and this is a good date movie

Rating: 7/10 (28 May 1999)

Notting Hill is an adorable romantic comedy that even I liked (and I have to admit I'm not a big romantic comedy fan). Roberts sparkles as what can't be a big stretch for her- playing the biggest film star in the world. Grant does a good turn as the bumbling bookseller who can't help but fall madly in love with her, and the supporting cast is brilliant (especially the woman who plays Grant's best friend). While Notting Hill was at times predictable, it's a great example of light summer fare that will be equally enjoyed by your date, your siblings, or your parents.
