Editorial Review:

Description:
'Get ready for fun!' (Leah Rozen, People) with the 'feel good movie of the year!' (Clay Smith, Access Hollywood) Love Actually is the ultimate romantic comedy from the makers of Bridget Jones's Diary and Notting Hill. Funny, irresistible and heartwarming, an all-star cast (Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth and Emma Thompson, to name a few!) will take you on a breathtaking tour of love's delightful twists and turns. Fall under the spell of Love Actually and share the laughs and charm again and again.

Amazon.com:
With no fewer than eight couples vying for our attention, Love Actually is like the Boston Marathon of romantic comedies, and everybody wins. Having mastered the genre as the writer of Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, and Bridget Jones's Diary, it appears that first-time director Richard Curtis is just like his screenplays: He just wants to be loved, and he'll go to absurdly appealing lengths to win our affection. With Love Actually, Curtis orchestrates a minor miracle of romantic choreography, guiding a brilliant cast of stars and newcomers as they careen toward love and holiday cheer in London, among them the Prime Minister (Hugh Grant) who's smitten with his caterer; a widower (Liam Neeson) whose young son nurses the ultimate schoolboy crush; a writer (Colin Firth) who falls for his Portuguese housekeeper; a devoted wife and mother (Emma Thompson) coping with her potentially unfaithful husband (Alan Rickman); and a lovelorn American (Laura Linney) who's desperately attracted to a colleague. There's more--too much more--as Curtis wraps his Christmas gift with enough happy endings to sweeten a dozen other movies. That he pulls it off so entertainingly is undeniably impressive; that he does it so shamelessly suggests that his writing fares better with other, less ingratiating directors. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Disasterous love, actually
For those of you who think that love is about serving and giving to another, and not about gratifying your own needs - please take my advice and avoid this film.
Aside from one storyline, I detected no real love in any of the plots in this film. There is no time for character development in this mishmash of stories, so the director didn't bother with it and simply jumped to intimacy. I usually love divergent story-line plots, but this movie was a disappointment on all levels. It panders to those who would, with glazed and vapid eyes, fall into a relationship with someone they hardly know and then wonder why they walk away, soon after (very soon after) with bruised hearts and warped ideas about love.
I am surprised by the positive reviews it received. I guess our culture is really more concerned with the appearance of love than the gritty, sacrificial, gradual and deep, "actual" thing.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Cheesy, but not too cheesy
very funny and sweet film. Excellent music and hilarious situations. I like watching this film because it helps me renew my faith in humanity.
some of the subplots are a bit extraneous, i think if they had focus on a few of them and developed them, it would have been a tighter film.
One of Hugh Grant's best films. Bill Nighy is a scene stealer.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One Of My Top 10 Greatest Movies Of All Time
A love story from all different angles and all perfectly intertwined with humor to top it all off. A stacked cast full of great British actors, Love Actually is a real life (and rather adult, I don't think you would want your children watching this), creatively written Christmas movie. They cover almost every romantic and heart-breaking situation that can occur in an average persons life (well almost average I suppose). From a troubles in a long marriage to happiness in a brand new one. You have a washed up rock star who realizes in all his efforts to return to the lime light full of easy women and glamorous parties that all he really wants is the company of a long time friend for Christmas. You have bosses falling for the help, and two people falling in love even if they don't know what the other is saying due to a language barrier. My favorite story in the movie is the recently widowed father who spends the movie ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It's all about love
This is one of the few chick-flicks I will watch (over and over again). I find it endearing, sad, heart braking, happy, funny, and a little bit confusing. I am not a huge fan of Hugh Grant, but I love him as the prime minister, looking up at the picture of Margaret Thatcher, painfully in love and utter something like this:

"I bet you didn't have problems like these. Of course you did, you saucy minx!"

And who doesn't like his dancing in the hallways of Number 10, Downing Street?

There is so much to love in this film, although it makes me cry, it also makes me feel so good inside. Definitely one of my favourite films of all time.
