My all time favorite!

Rating: 9/10 (29 July 2016)

This is my all time favorite romcom. It just manages to touch ur heart, make you laugh and lift you up all at the same time.
I watched it in the cinema when it first came out with my mom and sister, but I cant forget how much we laughed and just fell in love with the characters at the time.
I decided to revisit it today and it was as hilarious and cute as I remember! Quite honestly I can say its my favorite Romcom of all time.
William is a bookstore owner from Notting Hill, London .. an area he obviously loves living at as you can see from the way he describes it at the start.
Although he owns a bookstore it is not doing that well when he meets Anna; a glamorous award winning actress from America who is on the way to more and more success, a contrast from the way his life is going.
Although in that respect they are different there is a kindness, a genuineness, and a sense of humour in William that is hard to miss, and he is the perfect gentleman to Anna.
Certain events bring them together and William seems to have a real connection with Anna and gives her the normalcy that her life as an actress truly misses.
With a few twists you get this will they or wont they feeling and you can't help but think please god get them together!
Being a guy who is definitely not the groopie / stalker type.. even after an intimate moment William does not get his hopes up and doesn't try to pursue her.
However, Anna calls his flat because she wants to meet with him. In fact if it weren't for Anna's initiative I don't think they would have ended up together at all because she's this movie star from a completely different world.
Eventually, you see the negative side of him being involved with an incredibly famous woman and how testing that is for him.
Spike is a character I must comment on. I don't know how to describe him, but his idiocy added many more giggles to this deeply romantic movie.
With all of William and Anna's trials this movie has the most beautiful ending that just lifts you up every time you see it!
