  Like I've said in a previous review, all a romantic comedy needs is a tangible chemistry between the two actors and a clever script. "Notting Hill" delivers the goods. It's lacking in many technical standpoints and can get a little too sappy at times, but the characters are so alluring and the script is so witty that it overcomes the choke points of this film. I found myself laughing out loud at the humor and I found myself really caring to see more progression within these characters' relationships. "Notting Hill"'s a great romantic comedy that's sure to please all movie-goers.

  Personally endeared and irresistible, Notting Hill is a perfect dream - a beloved story that begins with a coincidence that has evolved into something greater between an ordinary man and a prominent actress. Notting Hill is perhaps imperfect, but beyond reason, Notting Hill capitalizes on basic human emotional vulnerabilities. Most charming.

  Wonderfully funny movie, that can be seen over and over again. Brilliantly written, with great characters, a delightful cast and perfect chemistry between the actors. It's got more memorable scenes than several dozen's worth of your average rom-coms put together. In fact, I would even go as far as to say that it's my favourite "Brit flick" of all-time. It also gives you a very fascinating insight to the complicated reality that comes with being a movie star. I have a very sincere love for this film and I'm not afraid to say it. It's witty, it's heartfelt and beautifully narrated. But above all, incredibly moving. Too bad they never made a spin-off with the character "Spike", because every minute he's on screen is an absolute riot. Anyway, if you're looking for a cozy feel-good film to watch with someone special, then this is truly the perfect pick.

  Can the most famous film star in the world fall for just an ordinary guy? Saw it again! Great romantic film! Julia Roberts nail her part and Hugh Grant in his best work yet to me. Watch it with your significant other and I promise you'll end up holding hands. Two thumps up! Notting Hill is totally implausible, happily improbable, feel good flick, does more to influence positive attitudes about people with disabilities than any all day sensitivity training seminar could ever hope to accomplish. Every man's dream comes true for William Thacker, an unsuccessful Notting Hill bookstore owner, when Anna Scott, the world's most beautiful woman and best-liked actress, enters his shop. A little later, he still can't believe it himself, William runs into her again - this time spilling orange juice over her. Anna accepts his offer to change in his nearby apartment, and thanks him with a kiss, which seems to surprise her even more than him. Eventually, Anna and William get to know each other better over the months, but being together with the world's most wanted woman is not easy - neither around your closest friends, nor in front of the all-devouring press.

  If one is going to dream why not dream big? Roberts plays a big American movie star (I can visualize that) while Grant plays the shy owner of a tiny bookshop in London (ok that's a stretch): can a somebody love a nobody and it work? Better than most romcoms and the secondary… More
  If one is going to dream why not dream big? Roberts plays a big American movie star (I can visualize that) while Grant plays the shy owner of a tiny bookshop in London (ok that's a stretch): can a somebody love a nobody and it work? Better than most romcoms and the secondary cast do much to convey a sense of London, however imaginary.

  Whilst this is replayed on tv over and over, this is one o fthe more bearable Rom Coms for me. A completely unlikely scenario, but it's light, comical and easy watching.

  At last I've finally seen it, more out of curiosity than anything else. I'm not a fan of Hugh Grant, seems he can only play the upper class, bumbling English idiot in all his films, which becomes annoying. I can see why this is so well liked by some. It does have some quirky… More
  At last I've finally seen it, more out of curiosity than anything else. I'm not a fan of Hugh Grant, seems he can only play the upper class, bumbling English idiot in all his films, which becomes annoying. I can see why this is so well liked by some. It does have some quirky British humour and a witty script. However it's way too long and typically cheesy as well. Not bad but personally think there are better Rom-coms out there.

  A great English film! A classic!

  "Notting Hill" is a rare romantic comedy that is actually charming, romantic, has realistic characters doing realistic things and plenty of wonderful performances. While it still ultimately succumbs to genre conventions (always a downfall with this genre, but what can you expect), it's still a nicely made film that always rings true. Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant are quite good here.

  Really great movie! This one's been hovering in my Instant Queue for some time...Wish I had gotten around to it sooner.

  <i>"After all... I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her."</i> The life of a simple bookshop owner changes when he meets the most famous film star in the world. <center><font size=+2 face="Century Schoolbook"><b><u>REVIEW</u></b></font></center> Winning, chemistry perfect odd coupling of glamorous globe renowned American movie star Roberts (typecast? Not really but a real canny, clever turn on her own persona) and bumbling, charming and flittering nice guy/poor soul English travel bookshoppe owner Grant (affable to a fault) who find themselves star-struck lovers despite all odds. Warm and fuzzy soft-focus feelings at the core but a sharply witty screenplay by Grant's old buddy Roger Michell (`Four Weddings and A Funeral'), super Brit ensemble ? particularly the skanky, hysterical Ifans ? as the slovenly flatmate of Grant, and nice light touch direction overall make for a great date movie and in general a nice old-fashioned romantic comedy that hits all the marks. My favorite parts are Grant's improvised stint as a journalist on Roberts' hotel press junket and his lonely stroll throughout the seasons seamlessly shot in one long tracking take.

  Lovely Love Story.

• Anthony L

  
  Rotting Hell! Notting Hill isn't like that at all! Roger Michell managed to get rid of all the multiculturalisms that it's famous for. Stupid!

  i love this movie its a great romcom its hilarious and i love the strong cast and well acted really worth a watch and is just really really good

• Candy R

  
  Hugh meets the most famous actress in his travel book shop. They fall for each other but will their two very different worlds work out? Hugh plays these mumbling Englishmen roles too well. If only ordinary people ended up with celebs!

• Mason W

  
  A very smart romantic comedy starring Julia Roberts & Hugh Grant. This film centers on a movie star (Roberts) that is in London. While there she meets a Londoner (Grant) whom both fall for one another....they both try to see if both of the worlds can make it together.

• Mark H

  
  Charming, winning romance. Julia Roberts is perfectly cast. She practically plays herself.

• Sanjaya &

  
  We'll see a lovely performance from Julia Roberts.... The soundtracks that they have is one of the best

• Lenny M

  
  I fancy this film tremendously, most people would not give it 4 stars, but I think its great in every aspect. Hugh and Julia together is "surreal but nice."

• A B

  
  Romantic comedy in the Four Weddings style.
