Notting Hill

Good movie.

The best part in this movie include:
i. Hugh Grant playing the role of a down-to-earth Brit, maybe overacting in the last scene of this movie where he gets down from the limo alongwith Julia and walks down a red-carpet.
ii. 'Brownie' scene in this movie was enjoyable
iii. The stupid blushes of Julia Roberts were a treat to watch and all those conversations she and Hugh Grant have without uttering too many words.
iv. The under-achieving friends of Hugh Grant and their conversations were also fun to watch
v. The songs that come in the background were good.(including 'She' by Charles Aznavour and 'When you say nothing at all..' by Ronan Keating)

After Julia-Hugh breakup, Hugh tries to find new girlfriend with the help of his friends - this segment in this movie is quite distasteful.
Wonder why the protagonist has to search a girlfriend?
Isn't the protagonist self-contained as he started in this movie?
Somehow, during that stage, the independent thinking-guy disappeared!

Brit-movies are a treat-to-watch with their good storyline, unlike most of the American-masala movies!
