Hugh Grant & Julia Roberts sparkle

Rating: 8/10 (16 March 2007)

Can a common man ever expect to be in the company of a beautiful star? Maybe not in real life, but for the many that hope to ever do so this movie is a ray of hope.
Hugh Grant was absolutely marvelous as a bookseller who bumps into Julia Roberts. She was equally fantastic in what I perceive to be her best performance since Pretty Woman.
Rhys Ifans was absolutely over-the-top as his flatmate.
As Lloyd Dobler said in "Say Anything..." My goal in life is just to be with her. What a goal. Lloyd achieved it and so did William Thacker. There is hope!
I would be remiss if I did not mention the fantastic music in this movie. It was just incredible. Shania Twain, Al Green, Bob Marley, and on and on. It was a perfect soundtrack. That seems to characterize all of the romantic comedies that Grant is in.
Damn, this was one great movie!
