Summary: Actually, I Love This Movie, Actually.
Review: The use of the word, actually, in this movie is funny. Every character uses it, is this what is done in England? or was this suppose to be funny. The bonus features are great, except for the fact that Colin Firth has no commentary or deleted scenes. I still wish a version was made available that the children could watch deleting the naked couple and the paintings. The commentary is hilarious with Hugh Grant and Richard Curtis, both seem to have heterosexual man crushes on Colin.

Summary: Shallowest of the Shallow
Review: This is the most stupid movie I have ever seen.This movie is superficial, shallow, and pretentious. It started with "There is a lot of love. Look at the airport scene". Stupid. Of course the airport is full of a lot of love. If you don't love the person, you won't go through all the trouble to pick the person up at the airport in the first place. It also started with "Look at Sept 11. On the airplane, people just call to say I love you. There was no phone call for hatred or revenge." Of course not, stupid. It is considered a waste of time to them. They don't have hatred or revenge? Of course they do. Just look at all the day to day evilness of people. All the self-interest and cold bloodedness. The director picks two particular moment and want to make you think that human world is full of love. What a crock. It also glorifies infatuation. Many of the so-called "love" in this movie is just crush or infatuation, or love-at-first-sight. If you are a teenager, that feeling maybe great. But if you are more mature, you know infatuation is a dangereous thing. It is not necessarily true love, and it makes you obsessed. Why does this movie make infatuation look so "great"?

Summary: Lovely
Review: Love Actually is a fun movie that will leave a smile on your face and a tear drop as well. Grant is his normal character, goofball English gent. Emma Thompson provides an excellent performance, a real emotional part. There's a lot of love that people can relate to. In summary a great movie with British humor and lots of love.

Summary: Multiple Love Actually
Review: What a great feel good movie from the people who produced Notting Hill and Bridget Jones. The cast may not be so well known in the US but they are really good, Hugh Grant, Alan Rickman, Colin Firth and Liam Neeson to name just a few. Some of the scenarios are a little wierd like the couple of reserved tongue tied body doubles who spend all day in the nude together simulating sex and a single British Prime Minister (doesn't happen). All together the film covers eight couples in the throws of finding love, which keeps the movie interesting and fresh paced. The genius of the film is in the way the little agonies and ecstacies of love are portrayed, which is so real it takes you beyond any feeling of contrivance in the story lines. You can see yourself and feel agonies of old come back to haunt you as this movie unfolds. The missed chance, the verbal stumblng, blowing the main chance by doing too much or worse doing too little or nothing. This is not the human condition type of great soul searing agony, in this movie everything you see happens every day in every country and at sometime in our lives to all of us. Within the overall feel good factor there are some really good performances, Neesom dealing with the death of his wife and bonding with his step son in particular stands out in the memory. The feel good comes from the fact that everyone, or nearly everyone gets their woman or man. The same sadly can not be said for reality, but watching the movie you conveniently forget and feel great.

Summary: Disappointing, I am sorry to say
Review: First, let me say that I am a big fan of British movies and especially a big fan of Colin Firth. Therefore, I rushed to see the movie. What a disappointment! It seems to be very diluted, like a series of storylines that are best dealt with in a soap opera. What were they thinking, these capable actors? Each role is barely sketched and stereotypical. I am really sad to write this review, since I know it is going to impact their viewership, but I felt so betrayed in my affections, that I had to say it.

Summary: Good flick
Review: Not as good as "About a Boy" which I think is Hugh Grant's best pic to date, but Love Actually was pretty good flcik. It had some heart warming moments and typically funny British humor, and other moments that were kind of left hanging. But if all the love interests turned out to be satisfactory then I suppose it wouldn't be much of a movie. Best scene over all is with Rowan Atkinson just being ROwan Atkinson.

Summary: DVD Love Actually extras you'll love!
Review: I am not going to some the movie b/c everyone considering buying has seen it! In my work I get to advance screen DVDs (I have to give them back tho') so I can check out the extras and that's what I'm reviewing here. Lots of deleted scenes!! Almost 45 minutes worth! No extra Hugh or Colin but the Liam Neeson father-son plotline is expanded and it becomes better understood about the Claudia Schiffer comment. Also, the installation at the art gallery is funny when you see how it came about. And egads! More naked people! Also commentaries with Hugh and Richard and videos and such round it out. definitely wrap this one up and put it under someone's tree!

Summary: I laughed til it hurt!
Review: Let everyone else rave about how great the directing was, how sharp and witty the dialogue, how stellar the cast.......suffice to say if you love feel good movies, this is the one. But even more importantly...the out loud, raucous laughter this movie causes throughout it's 2 hour run will definitely improve your health. Laughter IS the best medicine and this movie gives us an enormous dose.

Summary: One too many story lines
Review: First, I have to say that I adore this move and its soundtrack. The phrase "feel good movie" is such a cliche' but it's true for this movie. With that said, I have to agree with a fellow reviewer. The porn stand-ins story line is not necessary. While it's funny on an absurd, titillating level, the graphic nature of the scenes means that I don't feel comfortable sharing this movie with friends or family and that's a shame. I initially saw the movie in a packed theater and was shocked and embarrassed when these scenes appeared. It's a sweet movie otherwise and has the potential of becoming a perennial holiday favorite. I second the suggestion to make a PG-13 version of this on a subsequent DVD by deleting the unnecessary story line.

Summary: WOW... so different... so great!!!
Review: This movie was amazing. There are 8 main characters in the story, which at first was intriguing to see how they would all tie together. But they did, in fun easy to follow way. It is a very witty movie, which effortlessly captivates the audience. All the different love stories, the unexpected turns, made this movie unique. It shows how love can arrive unexpectedly and not always wrapped neatly in a package. If you are a Hugh Grant fan then you will love this movie. His character however is not the only one you will love. Many of the actors become very endearing to the audience by the end of the movie. A must see and a must buy.
