A British comedy that is NOT depressing!

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 1999)

I don't like Hugh Grant much, as he always plays the same character, but I liked this movie. It's refreshing to have a British comedy that doesn't leave you feeling depressed, like Full Monty did. And like any Richard Curtis script, it gets funnier the more you see it. I often see a trailer and feel that the movie didn't add anything to the trailer: in fact comedies often put all the good jokes in the trailer. Now, Notting Hill puts good jokes in the trailer but you laugh at them again in the movie and you laugh the second time you see it. This is Blackadder quality stuff.
