Julia Roberts' toothy smile just couldn't out-gleam Adam Sandler's doofus grin: Notting Hill -- in which Roberts plays a movie goddess who pairs off with Hugh Grant's mortal -- rented a fine 40 copies per store in its first week on tape. But that tally seems a molehill compared with Big Daddy, which moved a mountainous 68 in its second week. Still, the shiny, happy Notting Hill topped the debut total racked up by the Roberts weepie Stepmom (33 copies) in May.
