Can a beautiful and internationally famous American actress find happiness with a frumpy British bookstore clerk? She can -- at least for a while, it seems -- in Notting Hill. William Thacker (played by Hugh Grant) is a bookseller at a shop in the Notting Hill district in West London, who shares a house with an eccentric Welsh friend, Spike (Rhys Ifans). One day, William is minding the store when in strolls Anna Scott (Julia Roberts), a lovely and well-known actress from the United States who is

The ending is happy and ironic in equal measure, but most of the fun is just getting there with the right chemistry and compatibility.
An exceptionally guy-friendly chick flick.
Lately, romance comedies have expanded in running time, doubtless to compensate for their shrinkage in charm, and this is no exception -- it's way too long for something far too slight.
The film's romantic core is impervious to problems.
With lead actors like that, Notting Hill doesn't need a cast of annoying supporting characters, but it's got them.
The winning romantic comedy every summer not only awaits, but counts on!
Not deep, but definitely funny--teens will enjoy.
It's a crowd-pleaser, all right (so were public hangings, once), but with all the emotional resonance of a tap on the knee with a rubber hammer.
Hugh Grant teams up with writer Richard Curtis for the second time, and we've got a winner.
t's an agreeably slick affair, with decent support performances, elegant camerawork, and several impressive set pieces.
The blatant self-piracy and marketing greed on display here suck the soul out of this almost likeable romantic comedy.
The most enjoyable way to read this movie is as an elaborate -- though good-natured -- practical joke on Julia Roberts.
Make no mistake: Even those who've previously managed to resist the Julia Juggernaut are likely to cave in after seeing 'Notting Hill.'
Curtis and Michell rely on America's love for those nutty Brits to sell the film, and they will not be disappointed.
It endears and entertains, with genuine warmth and grace.
A thoroughly pleasurable emotional thrill ride that is, in its own way, as satisfying as watching Arnold hang from the wing of a speeding jet.
While we never doubt the outcome, Notting Hill offers an enjoyable narrative journey.
Exuding a self-deprecating charm that's hard to resist, Grant captivates the audience immediately as the film's narrator.
Esta é uma daquelas histórias que todos sabem como irá terminar - o divertido é o trajeto até o desfecho.
...a warm, affectionate, mostly laid-back charmer of a film.
Personally endeared and irresistible, Notting Hill is a perfect dream - a beloved story that begins with a coincidence that has evolved into something greater between an ordinary man and a prominent actress. Notting Hill is perhaps imperfect, but beyond reason, Notting Hill capitalizes on basic human emotional

Wonderfully funny movie, that can be seen over and over again. Brilliantly written, with great characters, a delightful cast and perfect chemistry between the actors. It's got more memorable scenes than several dozen's worth of your average rom-coms put together. In fact, I would even go as far as to say that it's my
