Episode 157

Notting Hill

1999 was a peculiar time for movies. It was a time when movies didn't exist solely because they were based on an existing IP. They existed because two bankable stars both had time in their schedule. How does the union of Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts hold up 24 years later when neither of them are still the box office darlings they once were? Can the great Richard Curtis write something tender that also happens to be a by the numbers rom-com surefire hit? Will Mike fall in love with Notting Hill like Allyson did at the impressionable age of 17?
