Notting Hill 1999

Watched it for the first time 23 years after its release. I'm not a great fan of rom-coms. But this is a pretty good movie. It's fun and romantic. It's perhaps not as great as Pretty Woman but it's still pretty good. Of course you may spot a few parallels between these two movies. The plot is of course totally predictable, but I guess that's not the point in a rom-coms.

Dreamy Grant is actually, well, very British. Grant (and the borough) is as British as only American film makers can picture Britishness (hint: it's a fairy tale not a documentary about the contemporary inhabitants of London). Roberts is gorgeous. At times it feels that she plays herself. You really don't want to be famous.
