Notting Hill

"For all its cheesiness, Notting Hill delivers a very great deal of pleasure..."

"Popping up just often enough to steal much of the movie is Rhys Ifans..."

"The movie works because Grant and Roberts are disarming geniuses at playing themselves – and then some."

"Grant isn't the only somnambulist here. Julia Roberts plays an empty shell of Julia Roberts..."

"(Grant and Roberts) are so right for the roles that it is impossible to imagine anyone else playing them."

"Solid, crowd-pleasing entertainment, with its delightful array of one-liners (and) quirky sidekicks..."

"It's an agreeably slick affair, with decent support performances (and) elegant camerawork..."
