Description
Notting Hill was the 16th-highest grossing movie of 1999, opening Memorial Day Weekend, May 28th, and in 2nd place earning $27.7 million (behind #1, The Phantom Menace, which, then in its second weekend, earned $67 million).
It would go on to make $116 million domestically and $364 million worldwide on a $42 million budget.
Notting Hill was the second of several successful ventures between Grant and writer (and Mr. Bean creator) Richard Curtis, following 1994’s Four Weddings and a Funeral and predating 2001’s Bridget Jones's Diary (which Curtis adapted from Helen Fielding's enormously popular novel) and 2003’s Love Actually.
It has gone on to be one of the most revered and beloved romantic comedies of all time, so to kick off our round on 1999 RomComs, we give you our longest episode ever: A love letter to great comedy, peak Hugh Grant, and the joy of close friendships.
John's wife Courtney joins the show for the first time, and John and Jenn also talk to a very special guest - the iconic extra who Hugh Grant refers to affectionately as Cookie Monster in the opening voiceover.
