Summary: Lovely actually
Review: Love Actually is a wonderful movie in all respects. Its cast, script, and direction are all absolutely top-notch. Set at Christmastime, the story encompasses numerous plots, all of which are equally interesting and effective in leaving one on the edge of one's seat, waiting to see what's going to happen with each group of characters next.

One of the most wonderful aspects of the film, in my opinion, is how we eventually discover that every single one of the vignettes is interwoven. For example: one story is about Karen (Emma Thompson) and her husband (Alan Rickman). The latter, although certainly not without affection for his wife, has begun to dabble in infidelity - thanks to his attractive secretary. Working with Rickman's character is Sarah (Laura Linney) who has been desperately in love with her co-worker Karl (unfortunately, I can't recall the actor's name, but he does a nice job) for years. And then of coure there's David, the prime minister (Hugh Grant) - who just happens to be Karen's brother.

Wonderful performances are also given by Liam Neeson (as a recent widower), 13-year-old Thomas Sangster (as Neeson's young son), Rowan Atkinson (who does a hilarious job as Rufus the Jewelry Salesman), and in one of the best vignettes, my personal favorite, Colin Firth.

This is an extremely funny and extremely touching movie. As usual, I hesitate to give away too much more about it. Nothing, and I repeat, NOTHING, should deter you from seeing it.

Summary: Loved It
Review: I absolutley loved this movie. I go to movies to be entertained and this movie definitely did. I have so far seen this movie a total of four times at the theatre and I would see it four more times if it was still out near me. If you want to see a feel good movie then see this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It made me laugh- it made me cry. I loved it.
Review: This has officially become my favorite romantic comedy. There wasn't one particular thing that stood out that it made it so great. All of the cast did an outstanding job. It pulls at your heart in so many different ways. I have recommended it to anyone who would listen. GO SEE IT!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Perfect Date Movie for both sexs!
Review: Love Actually has the romance that women crave in a good movie along with the stupid humor and nonsence things guys would like. You will fall in love with Hugh Grant as the Prime Minister and Alan Rickman (who is really a blonde!) will make you wonder how he pulls it off. My boyfriend even liked it! The cast is amazing and the various story lines give everyone something to relate to. See it with your other half or with friends. I have seen it three times and can't wait to go again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Nice and Fun"
Review: There are a lot of movies nowadays showing this subject: Love. But this movie has a magical element that brings excellent comedy situations and of course love. This is a movie where different characters interact during the movie, for the only goal of love. At the end, you will get a big surprise of how the movie joins everybody.
There is a mix of great artists; Hugh Grant makes as always an excellent performance, so as Emma Thompson and Liam Neeson and all the cast of "Love Actually". Also the movie gives another funny glimpse with Mr. Rowan Atkinson, he'll make you laugh. Beatiful and talented girls such as Martine McCutcheon and Kera Knightale. You will definitely enjoy this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Movie Ever
Review: I went to see this movie with many doubts, but it was the first Christmas themed movie of the season and I was ready to be excited. I was one hundred percent wrapped up in the entire film from the moment it started to the moment it ended. This movie is brilliant and is by far the best movie I have ever seen. I highly suggest this movie to anyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: All you need is love
Review: A wonderful, wonderful movie.
You are placed into viewing different peoples lives, who share one common necessity. Love. The story is simple, yet complex.
By that I mean, the characters need love, but the different ways they go about it show their own complexity as an individual.
It's a great and romantic movie that wouldn't be recommended as a first date, but maybe that date where you're getting more serious as the movie makes great conversation. Another enlighening part about the movie is the different age groups of people who were in the theater. I saw everything from 20 somethings to Senior Citizens, and everyone left with a smile on their face. Love Actually touches the heart and is 2 hours well spent. If you are in love, it will make you appreciate it.
If you want love, you'll want it all the more.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very entertaining...
Review: Anyone who says Love Actually is too saccharine is simply missing the point. As it makes perfectly clear in the beginning, the premise of this movie is that "love actually is all around." Nowadays, cynicism is too often confused with wisdom, and "independent" movies that go for the cheap "unhappy" ending are really just cheating the audience. In the movie, as in life, the characters care about being happy and are ready to put in the work to achieve happiness.

There are a lot of stories going on here, so we never delve that deeply into any one of the characters. It may be simply an over-ambitious plot exercise, but I think it succeeds more than it fails. I sat through the movie with a dopey grin on my face and I was never bored. The only story-line that didn't pan out for me was the one concerning Laura Linney - but I won't spoil it.

This is a sweet, funny, life-affirming film and very entertaining.
