Indefinitely

Rating: 9/10 (8 May 2020)

I would imagine it's many people's dream to meet a movie star and fall in love over the course of one day & Notting Hill plays this very premise out with major success. Over 20 years old and just as charming as I assume this movie was praised for all those years ago. Julia Roberts effortlessly plays movie star Anna Scott (who may or may not be just a representation of who she truly is in real life) and Hugh Grant plays Will Thacker, just a bookshop owner who happens to meet Anna on a fateful day in Notting Hill. Just as I always say with Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts is one of those once in a lifetime movie stars, and someone who's always giving 100% effort even when it isn't needed. I think the "they don't make movies like this anymore" is overdone, but it's undeniably true here.
9.0/10
