The movie Notting Hill, starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, is a love story like many other, but something special about this film makes it more charming and endearing than the others. The girl is beyond famous, and her would be ‘prince charming’ is certainly anything but. He wins her over with his charm, lack of woo-ing, and I don’t think the fact that even though he knows she’s famous but still treats her normally (for the most part) hurt his case. She falls in love with him because he is everything her Hollywood ex-boyfriend was not; he’s casual, kind, quirky, and cultured. He’s a catch and he didn’t even know it. And then, all of a sudden, they find themselves in love – and of course there is a happy ending because a love story should always, in theory, have a happy ending. The viewer of this movie is truly left in a euphoric state of how magical love can be and for that reason I write my ode to you Notting Hill – the ultimate romantic comedy.
