A really nice, charming and humorous movie.

Rating: 8/10 (12 October 2004)

Notting Hill is a very charming and humorous movie. It follows the classic pattern of boy-meets-girl, they loose each other but meet up again later. This could be so boring, but thanks to the humor used in this movie, it didn't annoy me once. The humor is typically British and perhaps not to everybody's taste, but I thought it was very funny.
William Thacker (Hugh Grant) is the divorced owner of a travel-bookshop who lives and works in London's suburb Notting Hill. Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) is a very famous American actress who comes to William's shop to buy a book. While Roberts and Grant are wonderful in their roles, it is definitely the supporting characters that set this movie apart from others in the genre.
Perhaps there are people who think this is a real girls-movie, but I'm a guy and I loved it as well. I gave it an 8/10. A really nice movie.
