Julia Roberts has never been more radiant!

Rating: 9/10 (10 February 2000)

Notting Hill is the story of a London bookstore owner (Hugh Grant) and a Hollywood actress (Julia Roberts) crossing paths and the ups and downs in their relationship.
I'm pretty much a sucker for romantic comedies, but this one is special. There are some genuinely funny moments (Grant's zany roommate is the source of most of them), along with some emotionally moving situations.
I've seen a lot of Julia Roberts' work, and she is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful actresses working today. However, I have never seen her as beautiful (radiant!) as she is in this movie. She also does a fine acting job, playing someone who is reluctant to let strangers get too close while also longing to meet Mr. Right.
See Notting Hill with someone you love. It's one of the good ones. Score: 9
