I honestly cannot understand what all the fuss is about this movie. It took me three days to watch it (granted I was tired and fell asleep through them), but when I got to the end of it, I could still not understand what all the fuss is about. If you want a truly admirable performance from either Julia or Hugh, search elsewhere. I'm glad this movie did work, because of all the tourists it now brings to Notting Hill, but I'm sure the residents would maybe think otherwise. The girl in the wheelchair and Ifans (Hugh's flatmate) give the best performances of the movie in my opinion and they have minimal roles. The plot is far-fetched at best and somewhat predictable too.. I saw it because apparently everyone loves it, but I certainly did not.
