    Absolutely fantastic movie, have only seen it a couple of times but it got to my heart from the very moment I first saw it, and it's really, really good.

    I've probably seen this thing like 15 times, and it never seems to get old. Great music, especially the Elvis Costello.

    A really funny film, Grant is really good as Will but the show stealer has to be Spike as the welsh roomate, he is hilarious! And those t-shirts!

    I have watched it again and over again, and still, every sentence and every single movement add to the idea that cinema could so close and real.

    It mixes reality with surrealism perfectly to make a believable, and brilliant plot.

    This is my favourite movie, because it breaks the cliché?s from all the other hopeless romantic movies. Immensely recommended!

    As far as romantic comedies go, this is the real deal. Julia Roberts is tremendously charming, and she makes a perfect match with Grant.

    Great movie, awesome cast and I've probably seen it at least a dozen times. My only regret was not catching it in the theatres when it was playing.

    Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant show what it takes to make a great romantic comedy, proving that love can come from unexpected circumstances.

    Once again two overpaid romance androids stammer into bed, provide the lovelorn a relaxing fix, and resolve elements in our lives for which there will never be a test.

    This is a candidate for the worst movie ever made.

    This movie was duuuuummmb. It was long and stupid long looks at other characters that led to stupid innuendos that don't work until an ending that just died on the table.

  1. A smartly cast and consistently amusing romantic comedy.
  2. The overall result is a romantic comedy that indulges fantasies, calms insecurities (can an ordinary bloke stack up?), and breaks and mends hearts with surgical precision.
  3. The deft, hilarious Notting Hill finds Grant's dour-droll-deprecating affliction at its most dead-on.
