NOTTING HILL

1999

In these days of matrices and light sabers, what a wonderful surprise it is to come across a GOOD STORY and "Notting Hill" is that. Someone actually took the time to write a well-thought-out, witty, and charming tale for, and about, adults. It stars two of my least favorite stars, Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, who are near-perfect in their roles. The chemistry between them is very evident(although some of our "noted" critics missed it!) It's understandable why the CD of the soundtrack is flying off the shelves at Tower Records; the music in the film is beautiful. See the movie; buy the CD.
