Love Actually

Those of you who would ever pay gold for just a pinch of good mood, I invite you all to pre-Christmas London. I have seen many performances and I can recite the lines by heart, but a while ago Curtis stole me away again, so I can't fully return to my thoughts. In Love Actually, everything is heavenly, and therefore there may be something that might not appeal to you. However, there is also so much amazingness in it that when I add up the shy guys, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth, the triumphant Bill Nighy, the unforgettable Keira Knightley, the discreet angel Rowan Atkinson, or the few seconds of magical cameo by Elisha Cuthbert, there is too much perfection in one movie. The best romantic comedy and one of my top 10. (07/19/2005)

In every genre category, I have a film that comes close to, or equals, perfection, simply a 100% film. Among romantic comedies, this spot is taken by Heavenly Love, and it must be said that it emerged as the clear winner. But yes, a nitpicker could argue that the screenwriter did not burden himself too much with logic - but since when is love logical? Top-notch cast, a number of funny moments, and an amazingly positive atmosphere. An ideal film for a romantic evening for two. Overall impression: 100%. (05/29/2007)

A well-cast hilarious British comedy. As it is a Christmas film, there’s a huge dose of romance, which is not to say it’s a bad thing. The film works really well as a whole. The only parts I didn't like were the Liam Neeson scenes, which tugged a little too much at the heartstrings. On the other hand, the characters played by Martin Freeman and Bill Nighy were excellent. " Don't buy drugs. Become a pop star and they give you them for free!" (07/01/2016)

A Christmas movie gift in which everyone who has ever been in love at least once will find something for themselves, whether they’re 17 or 40, black or white, good looking or not so good looking. Four stars for the fact that I didn’t completely identify with absolutely all of the characters (which is natural) and a secret 20 stars for the one segment that left me petrified and speechless. And also for the overall good-heartedness and love that everyone involved put into making this film. (11/12/2003)

When the best possible mixture of romantic stories is combined with a perfect English sense of humor, the result is a movie that I can watch a hundred times over and never get tired of it. Love Actually is exactly this type of movie and I never fail to find the time to watch it during Christmas. An excellent combination of funny, touching or even slightly sad stories, with probably the best cast available in the UK at the time. I don't know anything better to set the Christmas mood. I always enjoy watching it because of its incredibly positive atmosphere. All the mini stories are so well-written. But let’s face of it, nothing will ever top Andrew Lincoln's "To me, you are perfect". (07/25/2012)
