Just one word: sigh...

Rating: Null/10 (27 February 2001)

William Thacker (Hugh Grant) owns a little bookstore in Notting hill. His boring life changes as Anna Scott (Julia Roberts), Hollywood´s most famous film-star walks in. Will their love have a chance?
This is the stuff the best big-screen romances are made of - with the "esprit" as we know it from "Four weddings and a funeral". Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts have a wonderful chemistry! Though the focus is on the love story the authors gave the supporting characters enough space - what a strong performance: Gena Mc Kee as Bella. But also Rhys Ifans as Spike steals the show sometimes. This is not an instant comedy like the same year´s "Runaway bride" - it´s a beautiful ferry-tale.
