3/4  Just a dang cute film
This is a sweet, romantic comedy. I love it, but my husband only tolerates it, so it's definitely a chick flick. Grant is adorable as the shy bookstore owner, William Thacker. Roberts played her character, Ann Scott, the world-famous mo... (read full)

2/4  Not bad, but could have done more.
Whether or not realistic, this is a wonderfully touching fairy tale like story of the romance between two people of unequal social and financial standing. The beautiful, rich, and famous American movie star is superbly captured by Julia Ro... (read full)

4/5 Chick Flick

My wife made me watch it, but guys, it is actually a good movie with a lot of funny scenes

1/5 Nothing Hill, more like!

One star for scruffy and slightly drunk Dylan Moran, who plays Rufus the thief. Everybody else in this film (including the film) is useless and hopeless (or, as an average American would say, "sux hard and loud").

4/5 Solid romantic effort
  by One-Line Film Reviews (Easton, MD)
The Bottom Line:

At 124 minutes Notting Hill clocks in a little long and some of the attempts at broad humor (particularly the roommate character played by Rhys Ifans) fall flat, but Notting Hill is by and large an enjoyable romantic comedy from Richard Curtis with Hugh Grant at his Hugh Grantiest and Julia Roberts presenting a pleasant and attractive foil; it's probably weaker than Love Actually and Four Weddings and a Funeral but it's enjoyable enough.

3/5 Didn't quite hook me.

This film definitely had it's funny parts which made me laugh out loud, although those parts mostly occurred by the supporting actors. I think that a successful romantic comedy makes you fall in love with the romantic couple. In this film, I didn't feel the chemistry between Hugh and Julia. She kisses him in the beginning for no reason. They didn't talk much when they were together. He obsesses over her, but we only know that because the supporting actors tell us so. This film had potential, but didn't quite hook me.
