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. His business is stagnant, he has the roommate from hell, and since his divorce, his love life is completely non-existent. .
For both, something or someone seems to be missing. And when Anna and William's paths unexpectedly cross in the eclectic neighborhood of Notting Hill, romance is the last thing on their minds. The Couple comes to face the ultimate question: can two people fall in love with the whole world watching? .
Notting Hill is a charming romantic comedy which proves that love can spring from even the most unlikely of circumstances.
It is an extraordinary mixture of cultures. It is rich and poor and Portuguese and Jamaican and English, and it seemed like a proper and realistic place where two people from different worlds could actually meet and co-exist. That Anna would be shopping there, that William would live there and that Spike might think it was a groovy place to dwell. Notting Hill is a melting pot and the perfect place to set a film.
I offer this film everybody, because it's a very good movie about an incredible love, and how can two ways of life cross each other.
