It would be nigh on impossible to mistake Notting Hill for La Mancha, unless perhaps you paused to notice a despondent lover raging against the rain with a ratty old umbrella for a shield. First things first, for you fans of Penélope Cruz: patience will be rewarded. (I'm glad I had not read any reviews, because her relatively late arrival created a suspense worth enduring and which I won't spoil.) The story pays overt homage to Cervantes with a hero no less foolish but better favored by Fate than the delusional Don. When struggling actor Victor is given a second chance at love, he naturally assumes that the point is to make right the selfish errors of his romantic past. Wrong. Gradually, with large helpings of irony and comedy, Victor begins to see that destiny has very different plans for him and his presumed Dulcinea. This is where Cruz, at last, comes into the picture. Victor finally *gets* it, finds his true muse and thrives. The movie wraps with Victor collaborating with Fate to give his his ex the same kind of much-needed second chance he had to understand what's important. Everyone ends up, exactly where they need to be to see what they need to learn. This is a good story well played.
