Rating: Summary: Perfect Christmas present Review: I laughed, I cried, it moved me! It had everything. The cast is utterly incredible and you really live their situations it so well done! Many of my all time favorites doesn't hurt. Colin Firth, Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, the list goes on and on. It breaks your heart, but also fills it up with love!
Rating: Summary: Awsome, actually Review: "Love,actually" could be described as a typical romantic comedy, like so many others that come out each year, only... it's not!! It's a mix,actually. A mix of a bunch of romantic stories that connect in one way or another. The stories cover a wide range of today's relationships and you're bound to see yourselves in some of them. There is the girl who is in love with a guy from office but she is too cowardly to reveal, the married guy who is in love with a younger girl from work, the divoced writer who travels to a small village to write his new book and finds true love,Britain's Prime Minister who falls in love with a secretary, and many others. It was a very moving film. I can't wait for the DVD. It goes without saying that I'm gonna be one of the first to buy the DVD.If you like "Notting Hill", "Bridget Jones's Diary" and "My Best Friends Wedding" you are sure to find this movie more than good. Awsome, actually!
Rating: Summary: Wonderfully Sad, Joyous & Tingling Review: I can't describe how good this movie made me feel. I genuinely cried, laughed hard out loud and felt my heart break time and time only to be lifted up with the resilience of the lead characters. I thought it would be difficult to follow about 12 lead characters, but it was beautifully woven together. I positively CANT WAIT for the DVD to come out. I have seen it 3 times in the theater and am searching for a theater that still has it playing... Don't miss this movie - even the guys will love it! Guaranteed not just a chick flick.
Rating: Summary: Love Actually is Actually a fantastic film Review: This is the best romantic comedy that I have seen in a long time. From start to finish it is simply one of the best. By the movie's end you will be high on life and ready to take on the world. This movie combines several different love stories in a seamless fashion. It is very unique and enduring. It is an instant treasure. You will view love differently after watching this film. I know this sounds very cheesy, but you will have to take my word for it! This film redefines how a romantic comedy should be made. They broke the mold when they made this film!
Rating: Summary: Crap, Actually Review: Although it is at times witty and delightfully British, it is really not a very good movie. So there is this great cast, these wonderful actors (Emma Thompson, Hugh Grqant, Laura Linney, Alan Rickman for christ's sake) employed in the most desolate, incomplete, asinine roles of their careers. There is little to no character development and few storylines reach any sort of comprehensible conclusion. Bad, so horribly bad.
Rating: Summary: Not Citizen Kane....but is....It's a Wonderful Life Review: Best of light/moving genre...take off your critical glare and smile. That's all it is...and my friends...that's a lot.
Rating: Summary: Not any common romance comedy Review: From the first impression many people may think that Love Actually is just another romance comedy featuring Hugh Grant. However, if you skip it because of this reason, you could have missed out an absolutely fabulous movie. Love Actually is a movie about love could be found everywhere. The movie surrounds a couple of people who so happened to be related to each other in direct or indirect ways. The stories were weaved together very skilfully that you won't find them awkward with one another and the twists of plots are very clever. This is something that one might not expect as when it comes to multiple story lines in one single plot, the screenwriter might be too busy weaving things together and it could end up with multiple linear story lines and lack the depth of the 3rd dimension. However Love Actually was very well done in terms of screenplay and giving the audience numerous surprises to keep their attention level high. Since the movie is a multiple storyline one, so no particular person in the cast had a heavier coverage then others, this credit has to be given to the director and the editors I suppose. It was all well balanced and at the same time the whole cast gave a superb performance. Liam Neeson who played a step-father to a 11 year old step son whose mother just passed away gave all the delicate touch in dealing with the post funeral father-son relationship. The kitchen scene with Emma Thompson was a showcase with both just let the emotion flowed naturally without any pretentious acts. Hugh Grant, though still look very Hugh Grant gave a very good touch as the Prime Minister of UK. This sort of fulfilled some people's fantasy of having a celebrity as the head of the nation and Hugh Grant was a very unconventional Prime Minister. The part in the press conference is a landmark for his role in the movie as he delivered his political standing with enough humour that won't be insulting but passed the message through very well. It was very well written indeed. There are many other stories which gave people a lot of memorable times. The English writier (Colin Firth) and the portugese maid part was so sweet in portraying an encounter that showed both sides were perfect match for each other but they just didn't know because of the language barrier. The way they tried to overcome this language barrier without even knowing whether they are going to meet again just gave the movie a very sweet and warm touch. The rock star part provided a huge injection of humour to the moive. And on the other hand the two subtle triangular relationships, one remained subtle and the other became a hidden current undermining the establishment also smartly showed how people deal with relationships when it comes to something that nobody wanted to happen. The actors stand-ins and the desinger and clerk parts were also very interesting. Love Actually is actually a movie of choice for the year. Like Amelie, it is a feel good movie and you would be able to enjoy it from the beginning till the very end. It has a superb cast, it was cleverly done and also it has a soundtrack that fits into the movie perfectly. It is a movie that gave the word Love a fair definition. It covers all the happy, sad and depressing situations of relationship, but at the same time it gives you the energy to stay in the relationship no matter what. If you are looking for a movie that you could enjoy for 2 hours and then after that still feel good when you think about it again, Love Actually is a definite choice.
Rating: Summary: You'd be missing out, if you didn't watch this! Review: I watched this movie with my boyfriend, and it will bring you along with it's characters as they go through a roller coaster of different emotions that can come and go when you're falling, in or falling out of love. It's great to be able to see how members of the opposite sex deal with the complexities of love. This movie is one of my favorites now, and I definately recommend this movie to anyone. In a world where you turn on the TV and see mostly hate, it's good to see a movie that proves that LOVE ACTUALLY is all around us...
Rating: Summary: One of the best comedies of the year 2003 Review: After reading the other reviews of this film,there is an awful lot of verbage which is totally unnessary.It is an excellent film as an adult movie,and totally a feel good,happy after effect which is carried out of the theatre.
Rating: Summary: Excellent movie with loads of laughs,tears and love. Review: WOW!! This was one of the best movies we have seen all year.
