Summary: "Love Actually" is Wonderful, Actually
Review: This film is one of the best films I have ever seen. It wonderfuly blends comedy, tragedy, romance and drama into one uniquely differnt motion picture. The plot is not a simple one, so I will will give you a brief explanation of all the romantic situations entangled in this movie: 1-The new prime minister, who falls for his beautiful secretary; 2-A writer thats comes to love his Portugeese-speaking housekeeper; 3-a housewife, who belives her husband is cheating on her with another woman; 4-a young man madly in love with his best friends new wife; 5-an older man (who just recently lost his wife) helps his young stepson to "woo" the love of his life; 6-a weird Englander moves to America to have lots and lots of sex with American girls; and 7-sex-scene body doubles whose naked conversations lead to true love.Although the film is much enjoyable, it runs for a bit too long (pushing 2 and a half hours) but still is a gem. Not appropriate for teenagers under 15.

Summary: BEST ROMANTIC COMEDY OF 2003
Review: It must be one of the outstanding romantic comedies of 2003. This is another masterpiece by the author of the most celebrated British comedies (4 Weddings, Notting Hill and Bridget Jones). The movie is driven by as many as 6 different stories going on simultaneously, switching from one into the next. The viewer is left with anticipation of all the other stories while he enjoys the current story being told; it is one of those movies that leaves us waiting at the end for a little more. Another highlight of the movie is the cast; there are many stars, each of which figure in one of the little plots. Some of it converges in the end, but the main theme of love is present throughout. The stories range from a lovesick prime minister (Hugh Grant), to an angry cheated wife (Emma Thompson), to an English writer with a Portuguese maid with whom he cannot communicate. If you liked the other british comedies mentioned, you will love this one. If you dislike happy endings, stir away from this movie; I have never seen this many.

Summary: boring
Review: Love actually is a dull English comedy. Talk about boring! I also felt that the movie pushed the envelope more than it should have. One of the storylines was about two adult film stars falling in love with each other while making an adult movie. Ugh. Why did the film have to go there? The movie is explicit in showing their "scenes" together. I thought some of the storylines were unncessary like the one with Keira Knightley. This is a spoiler, but in the movie her husband's best friend finally admits to her that he likes her. Its like okay, so what? She stays with her husband which is a good thing, I'm glad that she stayed faithful but what was the point of that storyline? It just seemed pointless. I also didn't like the various small storylines throughout the movie. I felt like I was watching a soap opera instead of a movie. It would have been great if the movie had one major plot and all the British actors had played major & minor characters. It could have been a great movie but it was disappointing on many levels.

Summary: Fantastic, actually
Review: This movie is really something wonderful. Extraordinarily heartfelt. It takes a lot to get this type of warmth on screen and you would do good to share in it.

Summary: Boring and crap actually
Review: Wow another Wooden non Oscar worthy performance by the most wooden of men, Yes you've guessed it, Hugh Grant. The British always curse and put down awful performers like Hugh Grant but never seem to pick on he's incredibly crap acting, the man sucks. As for movies starring this hack then I can assure you this really sucks. Why do the British keeping making these god awful romantic comedies, they never work and are never funny. This is a movie for grannies and losers so if your neither then take my advice and watch something else.

Summary: loathed it
Review: I couldn't stand this movie. It's got a brilliant British cast but it has the feel of a soap opera, with so many storylines and smut. I don't like to see too much objectional content in a movie so if you're like me then you might want to skip this movie. Its not the great Christmas movie that it promotes itself to be.

Summary: Love Actually Works
Review: This is a wonderful film where 130 minutes just fly by in the blink of an eye. There are many who might regard "Love Actually" as a chick flick. Such a view is not warranted. The film should appeal to all ages both male and female. The film, in essence, is a collection of love stories that, in there own ways, have a touching humour and resonance. The characters are strong although it is hard to go past the ageing rocker Billy Mack. His line about Brittney Spears is worth the price of admission on its own. See this film and have great laugh!

Summary: Splendid, Actually
Review: The tail end of the 2003 film season has turned out some really great films, with Love Actually being one of the best. The entire concept is that "love is all around us" and therefore, the movie focuses on as many relationships as it possibly can in the span of two hours or so. I was very skeptical that this unconventional format could work. As a result of all these many characters and sorylines, the beginning may seem a bit overwhelming. However, it doesn't take long before you're drawn into each and every little storyline. Writer/director Richard Curtis deserves praise for being able to write intelligent romantic comedies that can appeal to all people, and not just chicks. His partnership with Hugh Grant has produced some of the best modern films of the genre. And speaking of Grant, there have been some comments that he was miscast as the prime minister, which is actually quite true when you think about it. Yet he does so much for the part that it may likely never cross your mind. I highly recommend this film and can't wait to own it!
