What happens
Notting Hill is a 1999 romantic comedy film directed by Roger Michell, written by Richard Curtis, and produced by Duncan Kenworthy. It stars Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, with Rhys Ifans, Emma Chambers, Tim McInnerny, Gina McKee, and Hugh Bonneville in supporting roles. The story is of a romance between a British bookshop keeper (Grant) and a famous American actress (Roberts) who happens to walk into his shop in London's Notting Hill district. Released on 21 May 1999 in the United Kingdom by PolyGram Filmed Entertainment and on 28 May 1999 in the United States by Universal Pictures, Notting Hill was well received by critics and was the highest-grossing British film of all time upon release, which has since been eclipsed. At the 57th Golden Globe Awards, the film received three nominations – Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Actress – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy (Roberts) and Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy (Grant). It also earned two BAFTA nominations, and won a British Comedy Award and a Brit Award for its soundtrack. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
