It seemed like everytime they were together she blew him off. I dunno, I could see how he appealed to her but other than her celebrity-wow factor I don't think she was of any contribution personality-wise.
Did anyone else think the same?
lol omg i was coming on here to say the same thing.. im watchn it now and she just comes across as a real Biznatch
you have to ask yourself are you a fighter, or are you zombie food
ha. We must be watching Notting Hill at the same time. Yes, I totally agree and always thought she came across like a raving bitch sometimes. I always wondered if he was a masochist.
I still like the movie overall. I enjoy watching hugh grant and the other characters but her character made me cringe in some scenes.
Glad to think I'm not alone there.
I'm watching it now on ABC Family and she is a royal bitch for a good portion of the film.
Bender: I was God once.
God: Yes, I saw. You were doing well until everyone died.
Yes, I came on here to see if others also didn't see what was so charming about her. She was distant and aloof and, at times, kind of snotty.
shareI kind of thought that was the idea. She had a snobbish conceited attitude to the world which came into conflict with how she really felt about Hughs character, then in the end she's all cool.
Awe Skinny you got blood all over my trousers! Jeez I'm real sorry sorry Frank
Mikey's right.

I can reply to myself 13 years younger. I still feel the same. I do believe his initial attraction to her was because she was not only beautiful but this movie star and couldn't believe she was interested in him. It was "surreal" to him. She kept herself at a distance in many ways, I just couldn't see how he was drawn to her.
shareHe was drawn to her because he saw in her some of the qualities he lacked, and likely wished he possessed. She put herself out there for her career and was very successful, she climbed the fence to sneak into the private garden, she turned the tables on the men in the restaurant who were exchanging assumptions and insults about her, and finally, she was “just a girl standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.”
shareI just wanted him to tell her to 'sod off' or something. What a doormat - how much crap will you take man!!
shareYes, I think she had her b*tchy moments. But I also think she came off as shy. Many actors will say that despite their "celebrity", they are actually shy people. I think she had a quiet, shy personality and at the end in the bookshop (I love the "girl standing in front of a boy" line too), I think it takes a lot for her to lay her heart out to him like that. I love that part b/c she is really trying to say that she is just human and being a star doesn't make opening her heart to him any easier.
shareTotal effing biatch during the scene when the paparazzi discover her in his flat...just plain mean.
shareThank you, thank you, thank you, spacehogwarts. Most of the time I'm hopelessly susceptible to romantic comedies, but when I saw this in the theater, I almost walked out (and in my entire life I've only walked out of three movies, two of them freebies and one that I saw later with a less unruly audience).
Anyway, to return to the theme, yes, Anna Scott was totally unsympathetic -- self-absorbed, disloyal, completely unwilling to keep the conversation going when awkward stretches hit. If a person with power can't be bothered to be nice to people who can't do anything for her, I'd say she wasn't worth the first glance, let alone anything more.
The script could have given Anna some interesting quirks or a sense of humor (The flaky Carrie in Four Weddings and a Funeral had at least some warmth and wit), but I was left with the impression that virtually all of the supporting characters were not only nicer, more interesting people, but better friends as well.
If the intention was to remind us all that dating/marrying a famous person is not all it's cracked up to be, the film succeeds. But apparently it was intended as a love story. Not for me it isn't.
Please, IMDB, no more of those brainless threads about how so-and-so looks like so-and-so.
I feel the same way! just the way she came off when she said things like directly after they had dinner ouside the first thing she says is how did 'she' get in a wheelchair? i meannn *beep* rude.

Yeah...she was a cold, two-faced beeyatch. I didn't want them to end up together; I wish the film makers had gone the original direction in which Honey was actually William's girlfriend, not his sister. In that version (according to IMDB), William chose Honey over Anna.
Julia was basically playing herself.
