Nice fluffy kittens

Rating: 6/10 (5 February 2003)

It's not often that a sequel surpasses the original, but, like The Godfather Part II, Notting Hill starts where "Four Weddings" left off in this fumbling romantic comedy.
It's five years on, and Hugh (played by Hugh Grant) has divorced Andie McDougal and now owns a bookshop or something. But Hugh gets the shock of his life when Andie (now played by Julie Roberts) waltzes back into his bookshop one day and announces grandly that she's now a big-shot hollywood actress. Hugh is speechless and we are then treated to fully 20 minutes of "ums" "ahs" and "the thing is..." from Hugh.
But then the action really gets going as Hugh and Julia find themselves falling in love all over again. There's lots of familiar faces as all Hugh's toffy friends have married each other and now live together in a big house in a nice village called "Notting Hill". Fans of Scarlet will be shocked to discover that she's had a sex change and is now a man and is calling herself Spike. And is also Welsh!!!!
As in Four Weddings, the two love birds again find that the course of true romance never runs smooth. Andie goes back off to America leaving Hugh heart-broken. Again! And would you believe it, just as Hugh thinks he's in with a shot she reveals she's got a boyfriend. Again!! Talk about lightening striking twice!
Will poor Hugh ever learn!? Apparently not as the third film in this series "Nice Love" is due out in 2011, and I for one simply CANNOT WAIT!!!
