Don't mind this movie really. Sort of a nice rip off of Four Weddings ...
But that line about being "just a girl asking a boy to lover her."
Wow. What a clunker. Grow the *beep* up. You're a woman. And if it's really just a plea for the simple life, get off the fast track (and give up the $15 million payday). Our celebrity focused culture is obscene anyway. And as for the boy in this movie, grow up and grow a pair. Um Um Um.
where does this four weddings crap allways come from? most random stuff ever... they are nothing alike whatsoever.
Well, for one thing, Richard Curtis wrote both of them. And when he was finished with Notting Hill he himself made the comment he thought it might be too similar to Four Weddings....
shareIt's not a rip-off of 'Four Weddings & a Funeral,' it's merely similar in that both movies include a group of eclectic friends.
shareThat was not a plea for a simple life. She just wanted to be liked by him. I really like that line because the way she says it shows us that she has probably never had a genuine relationship, may be not since she became a celebrity, since she was a little girl. That is why she says it as if she were a little girl.
shareSo well-said, Emma.
shareI agree ... her saying it in any other way would not have had the same impact when he recites it back to his friends later. Anna and William had been through all of obstacles caused by her career and money clashing with his simple life as a bookstore owner.
The line starts with, "The fame thing isn't really real, you know."
The line basically said, "I am here in front of you without the fame, money, and everything that goes with it; I am stripped down bare to just a girl asking a boy to love me for who I really am."
Concur...I always liked that line and how you expressed it is why.
sharePeople make fun of this line so much but frankly, it's not that bad. Like it just brings it all together, leveling their planes. I like it :) "I thought I the whole apricot in honey was the real low point" ;)

There are so many great lines in this movie and the OP wants to focus on the worst one? Duh!
shareOh, how I agree.
shareI had no problems with the line. It was parodied on an episode of 30 Rock, in the episode where Jenna gets a crush on an EMT worker.
My choice for 'worst line' - the one where Anna says "What is the deal with men's fixations on breasts? Your mother had them, and they feed babies!" How are those observations supposed to change men's interest in the female body? Makes no sense!
cheesiest line in movie history
somehow topples the one in Jerry Maguire: "You complete me"
so many movies, so little time
