This is such a chick flick, but actually a very enjoyable one. Romantic comedies are usually rather silly to be honest, but Notting Hill manages to be interesting and funny from start to end. It's not cheesy like most movies of this genre tend to be. Hugh Grant is a lovable, insecure bookshop owner and Julia Roberts is a gorgeous movie star and by accident they happen to meet. It's not love at first sight, they sort of learn to like each other. There begins their love story. What's refreshing in this film is that everything isn't sunshine and rainbows, things can actually go badly. My favourite thing in this film is that it isn't predictable. Overall it's a very sweet and funny movie.

  The overall result is a romantic comedy that indulges fantasies, calms insecurities (can an ordinary bloke stack up?), and breaks and mends hearts with surgical precision.

  It comes as a bonus that this romantic comedy is one of the rare pictures of its type that actually is about something -- the double-edged sword of celebrity.

  It's pure fluff, but as irresistible as cotton candy.

  A pure, sweet romance that moves along with bouncy comedy and a touch of grown-up realism and rue.

  Its deadpan wit, ingenious fairy-tale premise and superbly accomplished cast will leave you feeling positively oxygenated.

  It's funny, sympathetic, mostly smart, and it boasts a likable cast of characters led by two performers who have star power and know how to use it.

  A smart, sometimes pissingly funny romantic comedy that is also oddly unmoving and predictable in spots.

  So the film has this weird postmodernist taint: It has a self-aware script that cleverly plays off the reality of its own cast and their famous real-life contretemps. It's smart and knowing.

  In the end, the movie works because Grant and Roberts are disarming geniuses at playing themselves -- and then some.

  The deft, hilarious Notting Hill finds Grant's dour-droll-deprecating affliction at its most dead-on.

  The movie is bright, the dialogue has wit and intelligence, and Roberts and Grant are very easy to like. By the end, as much as we're aware of the ancient story machinery groaning away below deck, we're smiling.
