Why is this film so famous? I mean I know it has famous actors, but why it is taken in so much consideration as if it was a wonderful love story, instead of the boring *****hit that it actually is?
Hugh Grant is will, the owner of a bookshop, and when famous actress Anna (Julia Roberts) comes in he doesn't know who she is. As fate wants, they meet again on the street and he stains her shirt, so of course she does what every famous movie star would do in her place: she goes to his house to change!! Nothing strange about this picture, right? I guess every Hollywood star wouldn't hesitate a second before going inside a stranger's house and undress. I'll tell you more, they would all be so glad about it, that they would kiss him before leave him! Sure, why not! And does it surprise anyone that afterwards she calls him? And she even goes to his sister's birthday party as their first date? Not strange at all, is it?
I guess it was his habit of saying "Whoopsidaisis" that won her over... Oh God.
She's the one that keeps calling him, and going to his house, but when she finds reporters out of the door in the morning, she's furious as if he had betrayed her. She doesn't stop for a second to think about it, or giving him a chance, and why should she? Is not like she's a thinker after all.
Apparently his room-mate talked about her, but honestly, is it so strange that reporters found her? I see every day pictures of stars in magazines while they walk, while they eat... it's what reporters do. They would be a real failure in their job if noone of them had known that she was spending the night at a man's house, especially since she went there after a little scandal, so all reporters were already interested in her...
The famous line about her being just a girl asking a boy to love her didn't win me over, on the contrary it seemed pretty dull to me. Exactly where is this love? She's a movie star and falls for the first man that stains her shirt? Is that all it takes? And oh, big surprise, he falls in love with the big movie star, as if this would never happen, incredible, unheard of!!
Just how many men would be indifferent if Angelina Jolie walked into their life? or Jessica Alba, Charlize Theron, or Evangeline Lilly or whoever...
I really never understood why people find this film romantic; I find it boring, absurd and silly. And worst of all, not even a bit romantic.
