Summary: actually a good movie
Comment: It's nice to know that there is more to movies than blowing up buildings and trashy humor for humor sake. This movie is brilliant!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Heartwarming Christmas Movie
Comment: I regret that I missed "Love Actually" at the theater. I'm so glad that I bought the DVD, because it has become one of my favorite movies, and certainly one that I see at least once during the holidays every year. I never tire of it. The music and characters are full, real, and wonderful. It's not all laughs, but it's life affirming.
As charming as it is, "Love Actually" is strictly an ADULT movie, not family fare. It wouldn't be the unique movie it is without the adult scenes and language, but be forewarned.
Soundtrack includes music by many artists. Check out the soundtrack album here on Amazon.Com.

Summary: Disasterous love, actually
Comment: For those of you who think that love is about serving and giving to another, and not about gratifying your own needs - please take my advice and avoid this film.
Aside from one storyline, I detected no real love in any of the plots in this film. There is no time for character development in this mishmash of stories, so the director didn't bother with it and simply jumped to intimacy. I usually love divergent story-line plots, but this movie was a disappointment on all levels. It panders to those who would, with glazed and vapid eyes, fall into a relationship with someone they hardly know and then wonder why they walk away, soon after (very soon after) with bruised hearts and warped ideas about love.
I am surprised by the positive reviews it received. I guess our culture is really more concerned with the appearance of love than the gritty, sacrificial, gradual and deep, "actual" thing.
If I could give a negative rating to a film - for destroying or at least misrepresenting that which it claims to tout - I would do so here. Films like this give young, impressionable women wholly unwise behavior patterns that are ultimately destructive to their ability to create a long-lasting relationship with an honorable (and perhaps less dashing) man.

Summary: Cheesy, but not too cheesy
Comment: very funny and sweet film. Excellent music and hilarious situations. I like watching this film because it helps me renew my faith in humanity.
some of the subplots are a bit extraneous, i think if they had focus on a few of them and developed them, it would have been a tighter film.
One of Hugh Grant's best films. Bill Nighy is a scene stealer.

Summary: One Of My Top 10 Greatest Movies Of All Time
Comment: A love story from all different angles and all perfectly intertwined with humor to top it all off. A stacked cast full of great British actors, Love Actually is a real life (and rather adult, I don't think you would want your children watching this), creatively written Christmas movie. They cover almost every romantic and heart-breaking situation that can occur in an average persons life (well almost average I suppose). From a troubles in a long marriage to happiness in a brand new one. You have a washed up rock star who realizes in all his efforts to return to the lime light full of easy women and glamorous parties that all he really wants is the company of a long time friend for Christmas. You have bosses falling for the help, and two people falling in love even if they don't know what the other is saying due to a language barrier. My favorite story in the movie is the recently widowed father who spends the movie helping his son with his situation, aka the "total agony of being in love".
The story begins at the Heathrow Airport arrivals gate where `Love is everywhere" as couples and friends alike great each other with happiness and affection. The first character you are introduced to is the washed up rock star recording the most awful Christmas record of the season (although very hilarious, I must warn you he in particular will drop the f word at least once a line). Even though each character has its individual story, the story tends to revolve around the new prime minister (and his family) played by Hugh Grant. The Prime Ministers problem throughout the movie is the crush he has on one of his secretary/assistants, who everyone else calls the "chubby girl". Another character, Colin (Kris Marshall) is just looking for easy romance that he believes can be found in American women, so for Christmas he heads state side. Many different stories, many different ways to relate!
If you are the type of person who doesn't enjoy vulgar language, I wouldn't pick this one up because it is everywhere. It also has some nudity, so as I said before, probably not the best for children to watch. It is though, funny, creative and entertaining. You won't be disappointed with this movie, I can assure you. It will make you laugh, smile, and almost want to shed a tear at its sweetest moments!!!

Editorial Reviews:
|
"Get ready for fun!" (Leah Rozen, People) with the "feel good movie of the year!" (Clay Smith, Access Hollywood) Love Actually is the ultimate romantic comedy from the makers of Bridget Jones's Diary and Notting Hill. Funny, irresistible and heartwarming, an all-star cast (Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth and Emma Thompson, to name a few!) will take you on a breathtaking tour of love's delightful twists and turns. Fall under the spell of Love Actually and share the laughs and charm again and again.
