I Was One Giant Goose Bump for Love Actually
Preamble
Hot men. Gorgeous, but non-threatening women. Hormones. Relationships. A wedding. Christmas. Bitchin' music. My gawd! Could you ask for a more perfect movie?!
The Story
This is gonna be difficult to explain. The story is really about relationships - love, desire,...

Take your girlfriend to L.A. -- Love Actually (Lean-N-Mean2 write-off)
My first thought when I read about Love Actually was "You've got to be kidding." Eight love stories all at once. I say, I say, it just ain't possible. Then finally, I decided to take the plunge. Smart move, self.
There is no secret surprise that everyone's been holding back, y'all. This...

Love Actually - Stupid Title. Fun Movie.
Okay, some things just need to be said. And someone has to say them. I nominate me. So here's the thing. Love Actually is just a really stupid, lame, ridiculous movie title. It matters not one bit whether the movie is horrible or brilliant, the title just doesn't roll off the tongue. There, I got... Read full review »
Love Actually in many flavors and styles
I found myself pleasantly surprised when I saw this rather jumbled tangle of a film about friends, families, and love. I had expected something that was silly, and a bit of a farce, not something that was ranging through the entire spectrum of human experience. Set during the weeks before... Read full review »
Where is the Love? Everywhere!
Most romantic comedies are boring because they are so simple. The typical rom-com expects viewers to care about the fate of one special couple that gets treated as if they are the only two people in the universe worth worrying about. The most horrifying example of this that I've seen recently was ... Read full review »
Love Is All Around...And Around
"Love Actually" is an ambitious film that betrays its ambition early. The movie loses its way when an aging British rock singer named Billy Mack (Bill Nighy) is in the studio, reworking the Troggs' classic, "Love Is All Around" with a holiday spin. Even Billy is bored and frustrated doing the... Read full review »
Love Actually has my vote for best romantic comedy of 2003
There are two things I don't do around epinions very often - write movie reviews or hand anything a five star rating. Underneath my many layers of crustiness, my angry anti-government, pissed off taxpayer persona lies an insane romantic, easily manipulated, sappy bastard inner core. The last... Read full review »
My Ten Point Plan For Turning Love Actually Into A Plausible And Watchable Movie
Being a fan of Richard Curtis' screenplays ("Four Weddings and a Funeral", "Notting Hill", the criminally-underseen "The Tall Guy"), you'd think I'd have raced to the theatre to catch his directorial debut, "Love Actually". But there was something off-putting about the aroma surrounding this... Read full review »
Richard Curtis's Love Actually: Romance is Sometimes a Sloppy Mess
Actually, there is a level on which Richard Curtis's feature directing debut is quite awful. It's that superficial level of cinema where the little things play -- little things like direction, photography, pacing, character development, editing and often performance.
Curtis doesn't need...

Love Actually is quite a mess, actually...
- not that it matters, actually
This lengthy movie review is something of a mess – it might be difficult to follow what's been written here, and you may find yourself lost for long stretches. This style, actually, is by design of the author, and this review is probably best understood if...

Love Actually Full Frame Edition DVD
Written and directed by Richard Curtis and produced by Duncan Kenworthy the team behind NOTTING HILL and FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL this zingy British comedy weaves a vivid crazy quilt of interlocking or unrelated vignettes all dealing with the subject of love over the Christmas holidays in London. The big name cast includes Hugh Grant as a prime minister who falls for a staff member Liam Neeson as a widower counseling his son in the ways of romance Laura Linney as a shy woman working up the nerve to ask out a coworker Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman as a couple faced with infidelity and Colin Firth as a writer who falls for his Portuguese maid. Additionally a pair of porn film stand-ins bond on the set an artist fantasizes about his friend's wife; and perhaps funniest of all an aging rock star Bill Nighy tries for his comeback with a Christmas novelty song. The likes of Billy Bob Thornton Rowan Atkinson and Denise Richards turn in cameos helping making this film a throwback to those all-star multi-plotted comedies of the 1960s and '70s such as IT'S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD 1963 NASHVILLE 1975 and CALIFORNIA SUITE 1978. With Curtis' comedic credentials and the star wattage of pros like Grant Neeson and Thompson LOVE ACTUALLY is a laugh-packed affair with more than a few tears to be shed along the way and a startling amount of bawdy raunchiness.
