104 Helpfuls 105 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great casting, great music, great chemistry...
Cons Too many story lines - I wanted separate movies for each!!!
Recommended it? Yes

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,... Read full review »

Take your girlfriend to L.A. -- Love Actually (Lean-N-Mean2 write-off)

Pros All you need is love.
Cons You don't need the boobs or the fat jokes, but oh well, they be there.
Recommended it? Yes

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... Read full review »

Love Actually - Stupid Title. Fun Movie.

bymillinocket Nov 14, 2003
99 Helpfuls 100 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Cute, Light, some good performances
Cons Cute, Light, some people will hate it
Recommended it? Yes

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

bytelynor Aug 1, 2004

Pros Interesting look at all the different sorts of love out there in the world.
Cons All of the stories are brief and simple, which really drags the film down.
Recommended it? Yes

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!

bybeckytcy Nov 30, 2003
89 Helpfuls 90 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros cute, hilarious, optimistic, Bill Nighy
Cons Christmas-oriented (Bah Humbug!), a little sappy
Recommended it? Yes

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

bypmills1210 Jan 8, 2004
70 Helpfuls 71 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Firth, Moniz, Atkinson, Thornton
Cons Aimless, unfocused, and predictable
Recommended it? No

"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

Pros -
Cons -
Recommended it? Yes

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

bymfunk75 Oct 4, 2004
62 Helpfuls 63 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Martin Freeman, Neeson and stepson, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Hugh Grant
Cons Proves that Richard Curtis is not untouchable
Recommended it? No

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

byd_fienberg Dec 7, 2003
58 Helpfuls 59 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Some of the performances... Certain fleeting moments
Cons Read the review...
Recommended it? Yes

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... Read full review »

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... Read full review »

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.
