Just alright

Rating: 6/10 (26 April 2017)

Everyone I've talked to seems to absolutely adore this Julia Roberts-Hugh Grant romantic comedy. I don't really know why, I mean yes it has a few funny parts and no it's not terrible, but I don't really see anything that makes it stand out from the plethora of other romantic comedies. With romantic comedies, I don't usually require originality because I know you can't be too original with those films, but this one just wasn't interesting or entertaining enough to me. The acting isn't bad, in fact Roberts and Grant are pretty good in the movie, it's just other factors in the film that I wasn't so crazy about. The script is alright, to me there was nothing in the script that jumped out at me and really grabbed me, it was just okay, but the writing didn't inspire me to come back and watch this movie over again. Yes some of the humor was done well and there were several times where I laughed, unfortunately that alone was not enough to save the movie and make me recommend seeing it. I'll finish up by saying this. It's not a bad movie, you won't reach the end and say wow that was bad, but if you're like me then you'll come to the end and feel like you could've watched a better movie of that genre and been more satisfied. Notting Hill is just okay when it's all said and done. 6/10.
