Chick Flick Tuesday: Notting Hill

Posted By Leah on November 23rd, 2010

Chick Flick Tuesday highlights the best chick flicks in the movie world as well as bringing you news on upcoming chick flick releases as well as letting you all know about which chick lit books are being made into chick flick movies!

Ali McNamara’s wonderful book From Notting Hill With Love… Actually is due out this week and I thought this would be the perfect time to highlight the wonderful film that is Notting Hill. It’s the kind of film that everybody has seen at least once and Julia Roberts is fantastic as Anna. I’m not a huge Hugh Grant fan but I liked him in this! It kind of says it all when a film can inspire an entire book and Notting Hill is such a film!

Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant forge memorable chemistry in this charmer about William, an unassuming bookstore owner in London’s Notting Hill section and Anna, a Hollywood actress who, against the odds, are able to 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 which is surprisingly frank in it’s depiction of the lives of the rich and famous and the price they pay for success.
