21 - Notting Hill (May 1999)
from The Chronicles of Critic · host B&E
Not sure if this should be called Notting Hill or Nodding Off... I kid — though it does run a bit long — because honestly, it's hard to fault another Curtis classic brimming with snappy dialogue, charming meet-cutes, and... manic emotional blowouts? Thankfully, Hugh's signature floppy-haired aloofness, paired with an outstanding turn from "Spike" in the co-pilot seat, brings enough charm and hilarity to smooth over the film's more noticeable cracks — like the runtime, the vague mechanics of how this romance even lifts off the runway, and, oh right, the small matter of white-washing London. That said, the stellar acting, familiar supporting cast, and warm '90s rom-com fuzzies are exactly what most people come for — and this movie delivers in spades. What's not to love?
