Staying in? Grab some popcorn because Notting Hill is on RTÉ One tonight

We love this movie!

Anything with Julia Roberts in it, thank you.

And in Notting Hill she stars alongside Hugh Grant so you know you’re in for a good chick flick.

The movie which debuted in 1999 follows the lives of two very different people who unexpectedly cross paths and find an undeniable spark.

Here’s a more lengthy synopsis without giving away any spoilers…

Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) is the world’s most famous movie star. Her picture has been plastered on the cover of every magazine, and every time she makes a move, the entire world knows about it.

William Thacker (Hugh Grant) owns a travel bookstore. His business is stagnant, he has the roommate from hell, and since his divorce, his love life is completely non-existent.

For both, something or someone seems to be missing. And when Anna and William’s paths unexpectedly cross in the eclectic neighbourhood of Notting Hill, romance is the last thing on their minds.

The rom-com was written by Richard Curtis and stars a stellar cast including Hugh Grant, Julia Roberts, Rhys Ifans, Emma Chambers, James Dreyfus and Gina McKee.

It’s certainly one for the wine and popcorn – it’s Christmas after all.

That airs tonight, December 15 at 9:30pm on RTÉ One.
