A good movie

I already saw this movie, in fact, if I’m not mistaken, I think I even saw it in the movie theater when it was released, but since it was a while back, I thought I might as well check it out again. Well, even though I always had some mixed feelings towards the damned thing, I have to admit that it was actually better than I remembered though and I understand now why it has become one of the most famous romantic-comedies. Indeed, as a concept, it was actually really smart to have a typical Hugh Grant character fall in love with a huge star who happened to be played Julia Roberts who was, back then, the biggest female movie star in the world. And, well, after all these years, I have to admit it that it was actually quite entertaining after all. Indeed, the way Will was completely in love with this gorgeous woman made sense and the way Anna was after all basically just a regular girl was well done as well. I also liked the fact that they made an effort to show that Will was living in the real world, with some believable friends and that Anna would find it attractive somehow. However, the way they got these two characters together didn’t really work and I think it was rather unbelievable that Anna would kiss Will when she left his house the first time around. Furthermore, I thought there was still not much chemistry between Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts though and, the more I think about it, the more I believe that Roberts never gave the feeling that she was really swept away by Grant. Anyway, to conclude, even if it is not flawless, I have to admit that it is still a classic romantic-comedy and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
