As you can probably tell by not I love my chick flicks and this is another one that I enjoyed. With Hugh Grant and Julia Robert and Rhys Ifans who is one of the funniest people that I have seen in a film for a long time.

William Thacker who is played by Hugh Grant owns a book shop in Notting Hill, where this film is set. One day the famous actress Anna Scott played by Julia Roberts visits the bookshop. William thinking that he will never see her again he walks out of the shop and a minute later collides with her and spills orange juice all over her. William is quick to invite her to his place to clean herself up. Then all of a sudden to the surprise of William Anna kisses him.

What happens then is not like your normal love story and with a little help from his mad flat mate Spike played by Rhys Ifans and his friends, Max and Bella played by Tim McInnerny and Gina McKee, William tries to forget all about Anna. Which, with previous more meetings is very hard for Williams to do, even though she is an actress and her live is far from the quiet and calm of Notting Hill. They go through more various meetings and sags. Needless to say in the end they end up together and all he funny events that take place in the getting together are fantastic.

One of the funniest parts of the film for me is when Spike goes to the front door with the press outside and strikes a lot of poses in next to nothing.

This film is great and with a cast that really works well together, this is a romantic comedy and is well worth a watch. Also has a great sound track with a song from Ronan Keating.

This should be in you DVD collection

Summary: great film
