The TVI Take

Roger Michell's 1999 romcom whose structural achievement is the asymmetry, Hugh Grant's bookshop owner and Julia Roberts's global movie star treated as a class-mismatched relationship in which the male partner is in fact the one with less power. Richard Curtis's screenplay is more honest about celebrity-as-class than the romcom register usually admits.

The 'I'm just a girl standing in front of a boy' scene is structural payoff for 90 minutes of careful tonal management.
