Love Actually

This is one of my favorite movies of all-time. It's that time of year again where it's totally acceptable to watch this movie multiple times! Anyways, I love the stories of all the characters, although not every one has a happy ending. The movie goes through almost every human emotion in such a unique way. Ultimately it's a charming tale that reminds us that true love is still out there for the taking. I can't speak highly enough about it. Go watch it.

There's plenty to love about LOVE ACTUALLY. It's just that I found a couple of the stories downright perverse. It may be convenient for the film not to show us where Keira Knightley's new romance will lead but nothing changes the fact that is not a love story but one of betrayal in which not much good will come out at the end; at least the Alan Rickman / Emma Thompson part is honest about its subject and what the consequences to his actions will eventually be for both of them. Further, what can you say about a story in which a girl is unfaithful to his boyfriend with his own brother ? The funny thing is that the filmakers want to make us believe these are just different facets of love and for some reason, they time them at Christmas time, as if they would actually have anything to do with the real meaning of Christmas. Still, any movie in which Hugh Grant makes a convincing British Prime Minister can't be all bad. The truer love story in LOVE ACTUALLY ?: Laura Linney giving up on her ... Read more

Love actually is just the best movie. I got it for my son who is ver picky, and he loved it as well. There is so much in it. So much human, so much about love in a real way from silly to intense. Watch it over and over.

This movie is a delight, with a fantastic and well chosen cast of well known and new actors. I have given it as a gift to my family and friends. It has many stories going on at once, yet the director manages to blend them together, so that as time pases it becomes obvious that all the characters are actually quite connected. Liam Neeson and Hugh Grant do superb jobs in their roles. Martine McCutcheon as Natalie is a delight, which adds to her popularity in England and the USA as a singer and winner of the Laurence Olivier Award. Others in the movie have long been well respected, notably Emma Thompson, Colin Firth and Laura Linney. The soundtrack is wonderfully done for each scene and each character. The movie has abit of drama, some unrequited love, and some very clever sight gags and other things which engage and entertain throughout. The movie is abit long, but time passes quickly, as it does not have any slow moments while it goes from one story sub-plot to another. Billy Bob ... Read more
