The Movie Mob2022-09-14
★ 6/10
Notting Hill is a charming and pleasant movie with great laughs and a sweet and satisfying story. Any film enthusiast or rom-com fan knows that Notting Hill is a classic. This heartwarming tale of a chance romance blossoming between a stunning movie star and an average everyday guy is a sweet, captivating, and hilarious story of what happens when two people from entirely different worlds fall in love. The shock and excitement of Hugh Grant's zany friends throughout the film that he is dating a famous actress makes it feel a little more grounded and real while also highly entertaining. Each character stands out throughout the movie with big personalities and charming humor. Notting Hill is a cozy film that calms and delights with a rewarding conclusion and wonderful endearing characters.
