Wedding, baby, happy ending: “Notting Hill” ended the way romantic comedies end. Director Richard Curtis planned a less sugary sequel. But Julia Roberts waved her off.
And they lived happily ever after: that’s how most romantic comedies end. “Notting Hill” from 1999 was no exception. In the end, the glamorous Hollywood star (played by Julia Roberts ) and the somewhat clumsy bookseller ( Hugh Grant ) were a couple. Wedding bells, baby joy – the big table setting.
He had already dealt with his comparably saccharine works “Four Weddings and a Funeral” and “Love Actually” in a similar way. Both were given short sequels for the Comic Relief charity gala, more or less with the original cast.
