A romantic comedy set at Christmas time sounds like a recipe for disaster to me. But "Love Actually" was a pleasant surprise, full of pithy dialogue that nicely undercut the usually saccharine fare dished up in the festive season. Each cast member quietly and conscientiously goes about turning their little turn into a star one, never mind that most of them are huge stars already. It is this modesty that is the film`s strongest point; at no point does it overwhelm, and as far as romantic comedies go, that`s quite an achievement.
Fantastic, has overtaken Notting Hill as the greatest Romantic Comedy of all time.
I smiled the whole movie!
It had trite humour, lacked a pulse in many many places, was a completely shallow, vapid waste of time spent. Had enough humourous moments to barely give it a passing grade, but it really was a waste of talent. Or maybe they could have casted some different faces and it might have made for a more dynamic film instead of being so ho hum and boooring..
I just saw it again, and loved it even more than the first time! The actor who plays the little boy Sam is phenomenal and absolutely adorable! As for Hugh Grant...another top notch performance!
I do hope all film corporations will soon realise that there is enough doom and gloom in the world today and discerning filmgoers want to leave a film feeling thoroughly entertained. LOVE ACTUALLY certainly produces that result and the 73.1% who gave it 5 stars are SPOT ON ACTUALLY . I only wish I was on 5% of the gross worldwide take!!!!
Awesome!!! is best movie i have watched so far...
I absolutely adored this film. It has a very nice independant feel to it ... a must see if you like a "mainstream indi-flick" - if that`s an actual possibility.
Great Movie! Love comes in different ways, but when it comes down to it, its the same feeling.
I hate chick flicks...but this was great!
