What to Know

Critics Consensus

A rom-com with the right ingredients, Notting Hill proves there's nothing like a love story well told -- especially when Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts are your leads.

Anthony Lane The New Yorker 10/31/2022
There are plenty of incidental pleasures; some of the supporting players—especially Tim McInnerny as a lousy cook and Rhys Ifans as a scrofulous Welshman—threaten to steal the picture. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 02/14/2019
4/5
For all its cheesiness, Notting Hill delivers a very great deal of pleasure... Go to Full Review Andrew Sarris Observer 04/27/2007
The ending is happy and ironic in equal measure, but most of the fun is just getting there with the right chemistry and compatibility. Go to Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Mar 26
4.5/5
Notting Hill may be built on an unlikely premise, but it’s the sincerity beneath it that makes it last. Go to Full Review Chance Solem-Pfeifer Willamette Week Aug 18
When you watch Notting Hill now 26 years after its release, what’s distinct from the subgenre’s 21st-century downturn is how the film’s patient editing and lived-in directing sell writer Richard Curtis’ fantastical premise. Go to Full Review Patricia Karounos Refinery29 10/23/2023
The result is as charming, witty, and wistful as the actors have proven themselves to be. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Caroline S 02/10/2022 The humor was top notch, the romance was a bit lackluster. Very slow moving plot, but overall I enjoyed it. See more mary p 02/06/2022 Absolutely charming. I wish they made films like this today. Delightful and entertaining. See more Quinn R @qritz7 4d Classic romcom. A couple giggles with a charming story (where the girl is surprising the one messing up). However was longer than it needed to be.
