Light hearted romance with a fantastic cast

Rating: 8/10 (15 June 1999)

Firstly, I am a big fan of UK movies. And once again, I think this is another great movie from the "Mother Country". Hugh Grant's character of William Thacker was brilliant as too was the attractive Julia Roberts playing Anna Scott. I thought Julia's acting in this movie was far more credible than Pretty Woman. I think this is probably due to the fact that she is a movie star so how hard can it be to act as one as opposed to playing a prostitute.
There is no doubt that the support staff, namely Thacker's Londoner family are a hillarious and a lovable combination of people. Their presence in the movie adds a real touch of class acting.
And finally, you could'nt go past Spike..Thacker's flatmate...I'll never share a house again.
The plot is simple but also credible and fun. Go and see it if you want a change from repetitive action movies full of sex, swearing and violence (which I like also). Its definitely a film for the girls but I love London and the movie appealed to me what can I say?
