![]() Definitely a film that every romantic heart should see, and even if you don't have that romantic heart, like me, you'll still enjoy yourself. It's truly heartfelt and I especially enjoyed the child's love story. It's not a hard movie to like, like a lot of romantic comedies. My favorites were Liam Neeson and Bill Nighy, but each and every cast member was terrific. This is a story about 8 people who follow their hearts and show love or anger. Some people are falling in love, then breaking up or some people just desperately lonely and still looking for that someone special. ![]() The cast includes Bill Nighy, Colin Firth, Alan Rickman, Emma Watson, Keira Knightley, Liam Neeson, and Hugh Grant amongst others and each actor lends a different piece of the huge puzzle that is being pieced together. Love Actually Christmas time in England, and unusual things going on round. All the seemingly different story lines converge upon each other on Christmas Eve at a school Christmas musical. The relationships vary from married couples to friends to a child's first love, but all keep the same theme even if there's a different tone to each of them. The film follows very different relationships in England around Christmas. The big cast and multiple story lines made the film feel a lot shorter than its over two hour runtime. It's a romantic comedy centered around the Christmas holiday and it's one I thoroughly enjoyed. It was never one I was excited to watch, but by circumstance I did and I'm happy I did. Love Actually is a film that surprised me. Let's go get the shit kicked out of us by love. It is a feel-good movie and bound to be criticized, but it's ok to feel good once in awhile :), and this is certainly one of the better done romantic comedies. The shots in London are gorgeous, and the comic relief provided by the aging rocker Bill Nighy is funny. The overall theme of the movie, that "love actually is all around", even though we often focus on the incidents of hate in the world, is inspiring. The movie is filled with all those little moments we can identify with - secret longings, flirtation, and first kisses - but also those that are bittersweet, and those that disappoint us. Hugh Grant the Prime Minister going door to door to find the sweet and sometimes foul-mouthed Martine McCutcheon. Thomas Sangster, the little boy, talking to Liam Neeson about the "total agony of being in love". Colin Firth watching Lúcia Moniz walk out of his life, and then later both of them learning each other's language. 14, 2003, Love Actually earned 247 million at the international box office and continues to be a holiday TV staple every year. ![]() Andrew Lincoln's card scene with Keira Knightley. Love Actually - Varias historias románticas, desde un camarero sin suerte en el amor hasta el Primer Ministro británico, enamorado de una ayudante de su gabinete, se entrecruzan en el Londres previo a la Navidad. There are just so many wonderful scenes and lines. Weaving through so many story lines could have left the viewer confused and unsatisfied with any of them, but director Richard Curtis pulls the right strings and keeps us entertained from beginning to end. It's not perfect or anything, and probably gets a little too syrupy towards the end, but it's romantic, funny, and the star-studded cast is outstanding. ![]() In addition, any movie that manages to include a child dressed as a Nativity lobster, a Bay City Rollers song played at a funeral, love-emergency lessons in both drums and Portuguese, and Hugh Grant dancing through the halls of 10 Downing Street to the Pointer Sisters is worth seeing at least twice.What a charming movie this is. ![]() Love Actually is a movie about taking big chances (both hopeful and hopeless), about making big gestures to show our love, and about big, big feelings that may make us crazy and miserable but remind us that we are alive and why we are alive. Each of the actors creates complete, endearing, vivid, and vulnerable characters that we will remember long after we have forgotten most "stars" who spend two full hours onscreen in the latest multiplex fodder. It helps, of course, that he has a dream cast, including newcomer Sangster, a real-life cousin of Hugh Grant and already a first-rate actor and a knock-out screen presence. Richard Curtis, who wrote Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill for the first time directs his own screenplay with heart and style. This romantic comedy is as stuffed with goodies as the Christmas stockings for those at the very top of Santa's "nice" list - and it is just as entertaining, too. ![]()
