Not bad, but could have done more.
2/4 stars

Whether or not realistic, this is a wonderfully touching fairy tale like story of the romance between two people of unequal social and financial standing. The beautiful, rich, and famous American movie star is superbly captured by Julia Roberts. Hugh Grant is perfect as the shy, stammering, bumbling, unassuming, obscure, and not very affluent London bookseller, who shares a flat with his zany, weird roommate, Spike.
For the most part the movie is decent, but my problem is that the movie is fairly predictable, and what really made me fall back a bit further from it was was the unrealistic ending that feels forced on the film makers to please executives that insist all movies end good based on testing.
