[I really hate to do this, but I took the liberty - since it is my blog - of bumping up Notting Hill's rating to 6.5 stars out of 10. N.H. isn't a great movie, but I might have been overly harsh when I reviewed it]
Synopsis: Rich, famous and beautiful alpha females just LOVE meek, apologetic and non-threatening beta males, Example #...um...1.
Blurb From the VHS
Jacket: “Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) is the world’s most famous movie star.
Her picture has been plastered on the cover of every magazine, and every time
she makes a move, the entire world knows
about it. William Thacker (Hugh Grant) owns a travel bookstore in the quaint
neighbourhood of Notting Hill. His business is stagnant, he has the roommate
from hell and his love life is nonexistent.”
What Did I Learn?:

Movie If: You've always wanted to fall in love in a quaint, romantic part of London.
Really?: See “Synopsis”.
Rating: Notting Hill is an semi-enjoyable little
rom-com (I watched it by myself...that’s depressing) which is comparable
in some respects to High Fidelity and Peter’s Friends. Notting Hill offers a
few laughs (Rhys Ifans is great as William’s slobby Welsh roommate), but it’s a
tad predictable, the music is awful, and I kept thinking to myself: “this would never happen in real life", especially when Anna goes ga-ga for William when he’s in full sputtering
/apology mode. 6.5/10 stars.
