Reviews
|
New York Daily News -
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.

|
Variety -
Has buckets to spare of that rarest screen commodity genuine, engaging charm.
|
|
Washington Post -
In the end, the movie works because Grant and Roberts are disarming geniuses at playing themselves -- and then some.
|
|
San Francisco Examiner -
The deft, hilarious Notting Hill finds Grant's dour-droll-deprecating affliction at its most dead-on.
|
|
Chicago Sun-Times -
The movie is bright, the dialogue has wit and intelligence, and Roberts and Grant are very easy to like. By the end, as much as we're aware of the ancient story machinery groaning away below deck, we're smiling.
