Light and Amusing

Rating: 8/10 (30 May 1999)

The movie is a light and amusing romantic comedy. A thoroughly enjoyable modern fairytale! It transports the viewer into a world where love overcomes. There is little point in looking for deep meanings in the movie - it is simply but effectively, a light hearted acting out of the archetypal situation in which a member of the public falls in love with a celebrity. The lines "This fame thing isn't real..." "I'm just a girl looking at a boy and asking him to love her", as spoken by Julia Roberts did seem to come from the heart though. I wonder if she really believes this herself ? Mmmmm maybe there's hope for me yet.....!
