I should be ashamed of myself for not watching this movie before.
There are some movies which are made to change the way you think and challenge your perceptions of what normal is then there are those just to tell you that not all is lot even if it seems like that.
It was rather an odd monsoon evening in Mumbai when I watched this movie curled up in my blanket all alone. This movie set in Notting Hill, London is about a very good looking British book seller who accidentally meets a high profile Hollywood actress.
This movie is more than a romantic comedy because in there somewhere is a very important lesson of accepting what life gives you and having the courage to smile gracefully through it.
While psychological thrillers and movies that tell you how screwed up humans are as a species are important, I think movies like Notting Hill are crucial to remind you that sometimes all we want is closer to us than we think.
Watch this movie when you want to smile.
My roommate, my English teacher, my Mom all recommend this movie.
Needless to say I was hoping I will bump into Deepika Padukone when I went down after watching this movie.

Ps. I want to be as pretty as Julia Roberts someday.
PPS. Hugh Grant looks too good to be true.
