He lives in Notting Hill; she lives in Beverly Hills. He’s an unassuming bookshop owner; she’s the world’s most famous actress. Fate brings them together when Anna Scott wanders into William Thacker’s bookstore. While he tries so hard to be nonchalant about it, still, his whole fibre shouts ‘It’s Anna Scott!’ She leaves. But they meet yet again, accidentally. He spills juice on her clothes and offers his house for her to change in. She gives him a lingering kiss after. And there begins the heart-warming romance between a celebrated film star and an ordinary man on the street.
It’s a charming fairy tale that’s wrought of absolute surrealism. But then again, anything’s possible. A famous actress could fall in love, marry, and happily spend the rest of her life with the ordinary guy next door. Julia Roberts was absolutely glowing in this movie, she with that lovely, lovely smile. Hugh Grant was so natural in playing the timid bookstore owner that he came across as cute, charming even. They look good together; it’s a shame this is their only movie.
It’s a romantic comedy that pierces the heart at times, and it’s on my list of favourite romantic comedies.
I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.
