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.

Reviews
Hugh Grant teams up with writer Richard Curtis for the second time, and we've got a winner.
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.'
While we never doubt the outcome, Notting Hill offers an enjoyable narrative journey.
Esta é uma daquelas histórias que todos sabem como irá terminar - o divertido é o trajeto até o desfecho.
[Grant] makes the romantic yearning palatable and moving in each scene he’s in, and the result is both funny and poignant.
