Profile of Notting Hill

Notting Hill can be described as clever, witty, and feel good. The plot revolves around celebrity culture, opposites attracting, and showbiz. The main genres are comedy and romance. In terms of style, Notting Hill has a Hollywood tone and is talky. In approach, it is realistic. It is set, at least in part, in an urban environment. Notting Hill is located in London. It takes place in the 1990s. The soundtrack is pop. Notting Hill has received attention for being a modern classic, a blockbuster, and an award winner. It is well suited for a date night.

Summary of Notting Hill

Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant forge memorable chemistry in this charmer about two very different people--William, an unassuming bookstore owner in London's Notting Hill section, and Anna, a Hollywood actress--who, against the odds, fall in love. After Anna wanders into William's shop while filming on location in London, the two share an instant attraction and find themselves attempting to forge a normal relationship despite Anna's megawatt star power. Screenwriter Richard Curtis (FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL) has crafted a traditional romantic comedy that is surprisingly frank in its depiction of the lives of the rich and famous and the price they pay for success.

Critics Reviews

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

NOTTING HILL: I have always loved watching movies starring EMILY MORTIMER, This is one of my favorite movies and I highly recommend it. EMILY always give 100%, and her acting is always very convincing and spot on. Plus I just love her accent. I give...
Zzzzzzzzz
Notting Hill: nice views of London neighborhoods, sweet and funny British people, and one perfectly horrible American actress that no one in his right mind could "love". As a love letter to London, this film works. As a love letter to Julia...
