Summary: How do I give zero stars?
Review: Hugh Grant has made "About a Boy" and a bunch of rotten stinkers. This movie is the worst of his stinkers.
It's so sugary-sweet, goody-two shoes that diabetics better have their insuline with them.
Nothing is believable, everything is artificial and perfect. There's not an ounce of grit to the dialogue.
The dialogue and interaction between Liam Neeson and his kid are sitcomishly unbelievable. Hugh Grant's beautiful and (of course) perfectly-built love interest is supposed to be considered "fat" by the other characters??? How much of an INSULT is that to people who TRULY struggle with their weight, I wonder?!!
If you like brain-dead movies where everything's perfect, where nothing resembles reality; if you don't like to ask questions, you just like putting your brain on automatic-pilot, then by all means, go and love this movie.
Then go digging in your kitchen cookie jar and call it a dinner.
In addition, the makers of this rotten stinker would've been more honest if they'd called it "Adultery, Actually" for there was much more of that than anything else. Of course, they tried to sweeten the repugnance of even THAT up in this saccharine, artificial cartoon of a movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Loved Love Actually
Review: This has to be one of the funniest movies I have ever seen.
It has a wonderful cast of characters. I loved the colorful
Hugh Grant as England's Prime Minister. The sound track for this movie is excellent. I would definitely recommend seeing this film--you will leave the theatre feeling great.

Summary: Feel good movie not just for chicks
Review: There hasn't been a film like this for a while. It's about relationships between lovers,young and old, husbands and wifes, brothers and sisters and fathers and sons not to mention, friend to friend. A quick scene to scene story line, chopping and changing between the individual stories, which all evolve and combine towards the end. Quite cleverly done and written.It can take you on an emotionally up and down journey, but one worth every minute. You'll walk out feeling a warmth in your heart.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: interesting enough premise poorly executed
Review: if this had been handled better it could have been a great movie,but frankly it isnt.after the first 10-15 minutes the idea of many short romance stories becomes more annoying.and the dialogue and humour doesnt help either.its the bottom of the barrel sex jokes in this film.as well as this there are some rather revealing sex scenes which make this film unsuitable for children and younger viewers.the prime minister is in fact a lonely nervous guy who swears a lot....HAHAHAHAA...he falls for a pretty but dim witted tea lady....HAHAHAHAHHA......a woman wants upbeat music played at her funeral....HAHAHAHHAHA i never knew that could be so funny!!!! two body doubles doing sex scenes are in fact nervous ordinary people,who although in there line of work have to touch each others naked bodies and simulate sex acts,are in actual fact coy about relationships and view a kiss as quite a strong advancement of there feelings.....HAHAHAHA...this film is so laugh out loud and the humour is so fresh and entertaining the two hours of unrelenting sewerage just fly by!!!! oh and the ending,the less said about the better.if anyone believes that ending to be acceptable should seek help.fast. a half star out of 5 for the initial gimmick of the film,but thats it.the rest is just fodder.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I'll buy the dvd
Review: I ussually don't go to cinema to see films like this - big movies with millions of dollars (or pounds) behind them. But "Love actually" - commercial as it was - had much stronger impact on me than all dramas I used to watch. Made me feel optimistic and realize that love is still the most important thing although many years passed since St. Paul's Song of Love.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: good english movie
Review: this movie seems to remind England's citizens there are reasons to be proud of who they are. I like it. It's good to see english movies for a change and I recomend the movie. I particularly appreciate the Portuguese woman and the young Englishman who flies to America. The prime minister's speech in the press conference is meaningful specially in these days.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Love Actually
Review: This is the greatest movie I have ever seen. It is funny and adorable at the same time. My friends and I have seen it 5 times in the past week and a half; we can't get enough of it. I can't wait for it to come out on DVD! The best part is Mark's signs! OMG that is so cute. And I love the Billy Mack song. I love everything in the movie! Everyone should go see it- numerous times.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great romantic comedy!
Review: Love Actually is a great romantic comedy and one of the best films of the year! This film is so rich with great characters, love stories and laughs to make it one of the best and most original romantic comedies made in a long while. There are at least 12 main characters whose stories are interwoven together to make a great love story or love stories. Hugh Grant as London's prime minister is a great fit and his story is probably the funniest. Grant makes every role better with his witty personality and seeing him dance around his house to the Pointer Sisters is hilarious. Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman's story provides the most heartwrenching arch of the story as a comfortably married couple who gets shaken by infidelity. Emma Thompson is especially wonderful as the adoring mother and wife shocked by her husband's actions, yet strong enough to deal with it. Colin Firth's story line is the most sweet as a cuckhold who moves to a secluded place and falls for his Portugese maid. The most heartwarming part of the story goes to Liam Neeson, who plays a widow helping with his stepson's love life. Keira Knightley, Laura Linney and Rowan Atkinson also have parts in the story, as well as two porn stand-ins who fall in love while working together and a horny British guy who goes to America to find women. The porn stand-ins are great because they fall in love because they genuinely like eachother's personality, and people should stop complaining about it. They are probably the sweetest characters in this film. Bill Nighy steals the film as a has been rock star who sings a very cheesy Christmas song that is heard throughout the film. The movie's message of love comes through loud and clear and should not be taken lightly. Love Actually is actually a great film.
