Christmas in Notting Hill

Rating: 

Plot

Graham is a famous football star struggling with a bad knee. In the midst of this, his brother reveals that he plans to propose to his girlfriend on Christmas Eve. Meanwhile, Georgia arrives in London to celebrate Christmas with her sister and her sister's boyfriend's family. While she is out shopping for Christmas decorations, she happens to encounter Graham, who realizes that she doesn't know who he is, something he finds refreshing as he is quite tired of his celebrity status. Imagine their surprise when they later meet again, and it turns out that it is Georgia's sister whom Graham's brother intends to propose to.

Short review

It feels like a Notting Hill wanna be with some obvious parallels. The movie also includes a few references to the original where you can clearly see where some of the dialogue drew its inspiration (at one point, Georgia's dad also reads Horse & Hound, a clear reference). The film is by no means as good as the original, but if you get past the obvious "wanna be" complex and maybe the first half of the film, it picks up and becomes a reasonably good romantic movie.
