Review of Notting Hill (1999) by Les L — 18 Apr 2016
Good writing and great ensemble characters. Brilliant characters. And, it is the perfect "fairy tale" for today'. A movie star... That falls in love with a guy in a book shop. And the chaos and pain in her life, past and present, almost destroys any chance of happiness with the nice guy but she tries to overcome her fear and asks him to love her.
And after he says no, in fear of heartbreak, a masturbating Welshman comes to the rescue. Even if you do not like Julia Roberts or Hugh Grant, the story works well and you can imagine a similar fairy tale about your Hollywood crush.
The characters around the pair... Focus on their and their observations, advice, jokes and responses and you'll love the movie. Either way, you can't go wrong. Unless you truly hates the British, their accents, slang, etc.
If you are that much against the British, you're likely French or an idiot. In the Top 5 romantic comedies of all time.
