"Notting Hill" is one of those romantic-comedies that plays it safe by relying on internally-generated conflict in order to propel the drama.
In "Notting Hill", there were few quirky characters, except for Spike, which Grant and Roberts could play off of.
With few standout scenes, a lack of chemistry between its two leads, and a poorly structured plot, "Notting Hill" is a by-the-book romantic comedy that never seems to fully embrace the possibilities posed by its fetching premise.

 TheMovieBoy Review: Notting Hill (1999)
Set exclusively in the homely England town of Notting Hill, William Thacker (Hugh Grant) is a lonely 35-year-old divorcee who runs a travel bookshop and shares a townhouse with the goofy, unsightly Spike (Rhys Ifans), a scruffy-looking man who is oddly lovable even when he is revolting.
