A leading American actress accidentally meets an attractive, but unassuming British travel book seller and love immediately blossoms. However, fame and her American actor boyfriend gets in the way.

The house with the blue door where William lives is real; it once belonged to Notting Hill screenwriter Richard Curtis.

Anna Scott:
You know what they say about men with big feet.


William:
No, I don't, actually. What's that?


Anna Scott:
Big feet... large shoes.

Continuity: Honey starts the film with shoulder length hair. In the "Ain't No Sunshine" montage, Honey's hair is cut short, understandable in the passage of time, but in a subsequent scene in the book shop when she gives Will Anna's agents' phone numbers, her hair is long again. When she announces she's getting engaged to Spike at the closing of Tony's restaurant, it is short again. The film only spans about a year.
