How is this similar to Notting Hill?


Different countries, cultures, eras. One is rural, the other set in a major city. No one is famous movie star in DD. The ghost from road house isn’t even British. No one dances in NH. There are no press junkets at Kellerman’s. No one gets an abortion in NH. There are no corners or babies, and seasons don’t change at the farmer’s market in NH.

Probably in the way that all space movies are similar. This one involves two people who are in love, but there are obstacles, and NH involves two people who are in love, but there are obstacles.

I find the listed 'Similar Movies:' often very tenuous and sometimes just wrong. I'm guessing they are sometimes linked by a key word, e.g. romance, or by a particular actor - even when the film type is totally different.
