 This is the best performance that Hugh Grant has ever given, and his flat mate is the funniest guy (even though in a disgusting way) i've seen in a long time. I don't usually expect romnatic comedies to make me think for hours, heck, DAYS after I see it, but this one certainly did. I've seen it a couple of times, and I am planning to see it MANY more times! So should you! PS: Even the Marc Chagal painting Julia gets for Hugh is worth getting...it's cute! PPS: And that big blue door at Notting Hill in London really does exist! I've been to England a few times...check it out if you go!
Even though I am a huge Julia Roberts fan, I would have enjoyed the movie if it starred another actress-just as long as it wasn't that skinny and quite plain Renee Zellweger. If you love romantic comedies---Notting Hill is a must!

I just sat down and watched Notting Hill again to try and see what I missed the first time. Result: Nothing. It is a warmed over (well slightly overdone) Four Weddings and a Funeral. However the latter film had better writing and casting. I am not a huge fan of Julia Roberts anyway, but the sister in Notting Hill was a feable attemt as was the "Bernard" Character. The only asset Notting has over 4 weddings is the soundtrack. That was a greatly missed opportunity.
