There are many similarities between this movie and Notting Hill (1999): the primary locale of Notting Hill. A romance between a Brit and an American. A romance between a famous person and a non-famous person, the latter unsure if she, in this case, can handle a life in the public eye.The famous person's photograph is seen on the side of a London double-decker bus, and stories about the person appear in British tabloids. An early encounter of the leads bumping into each other leads to a spilled drink, and the local invites the foreigner to clean up in, in this case, his nearby flat. A reference to "Horse & Hound" magazine.
When Georgia is in the flat eating dinner after Lizzie and their dad go out for the evening, whatever she's watching on tv has the distinctive Netflix opening notes.
