the happy bastard 's 30-second review notting hill a cute romantic comedy from the writer of the hit comedy four weddings and a funeral , notting hill stars julia roberts as anna scott , a very popular actress with a $ 15 million asking price for movies .
one day she wanders into a travel book store owned by a simple london resident ( played by hugh grant ) , and sparks somehow begin to fly .
sure , there are points of turmoil , such as putting up with grant 's slightly disgusting ( but very hilarious ) roommate spike , anna 's pesky ex - boyfriend ( alec baldwin in a humorous cameo ) , and , on top of all that , those damn press .
it 's a fresh sort of complexity to see in a romantic comedy , very different from , say , a stubborn father or " not the right time " like as seen in usual flicks .
roberts is terrific as the astonishingly beautiful actress , and grant is surprisingly good as the straightforward guy still trying to get a hold of what has actually happened with this girl .
in short , a sweet romantic comedy that has a lot of good laughs , particularly provided by spike .
