A fine fairy tale romance

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 1999)

Just delightful. This is one of the few movies where you can let your heart escape with Hugh Grant and dream and live the impossible dream. A humble, if not quirky, bookseller falling in love with a high profile beautiful actress. Has all the hall marks of one of those great English movies, not falling into true comic proportions, never a drama. It is what one could call a "nice" movie that was thoroughly entertaining and delightful.
