"Notting Hill", this film is just a replica of "Roman Holiday". A young beauty + a handsome boy = Romance; a big-mouthed beauty + a handsome boy = Romance in Notting Hill.

Although the former is a helpless breakup and the latter is a "happy reunion", on the whole, the "drama" is exactly the same, except that the happy ending of "Notting Hill" is more clumsy and not as intriguing as "Roman Holiday". .
