I think only a British comedy could pull this one off, 2008-06-21
"Love, Actually" could have been titled "Love, Almost" with an American director. With new fewer than eight couples vying for attention in this cameo-laden romantic comedy, you need a score card to keep up--and yes, everyone does win, more or less.
We start at the top, brand new Prime Minister (Hugh Grant) just moves in to fall in love with the girl who brings him coffee. Liam Neeson is helping his grade school stepson win the heart of the very young woman he loves. Emma Thompson is on the bittersweet end as she tries to wrap her head around the idea that her husband, Alan Rickman might be cheating with an office girl.
And that's not all...The stories are heartfelt with just enough British irony to keep you laughing instead of falling into a sucrose induced coma. Kudos for producer, Curtis, for giving this story enough spice to keep it real and interesting.

Funny & Heatwarming, 2008-06-05
This is one of those movies that you can watch over & over & feel just as good each time. It has romance, drama, comedy, it all & the actors are top notch.

 Love is all around..., 2008-06-03
I liked this film a lot. Richard Curtis has put together a fine film, showing the foibles of human nature, and the characters' reactions. I laughed often, reflected softly, and ultimately thought it is a treasure among those films that talk about "love". The stellar cast handles the material well, especially Bill Nighy, the over-the-hill rock singer. Liam Neeson, Hugh Grant, Laura Linney, Emma Thompson, and Colin Firth are all excellent. It's very episodic, and the episodes with Mr. Firth are especially sweet. "Love Actually" won many awards, worldwide, but was ignored by the Academy. I laughed often, reflected quite a bit, and was allowed to put myself in touch with these wonderful characters. ALL love, or infatuation, is an enigma, and the "porn" couple really put it in perspective. I loved those two. Also, Neeson's son (I don't know his name) is one of the best kid-actors I've seen in a long time. It's a good ride, and loads of fun. Check it out!

 Romance Pot luck soup, 2008-05-29
2.5 stars. Love, actually is a cute mindless movie-an anthology of short stories crammed into one screenplay and the results is a paint-by-numbers un-authentic pot-luck soup of emotions. Nighy is hilarious as an aging rocker desperate for a number one hit, but everyone else seemed to phone in their performance on a script that clearly didn't seem worth their time. Still, the movie can help pass the time but so can scrubbing the bathroom tile.
