0.5/4  Love Actually
A horrible example of British film-making. It starts terribly and just rolls on downhill from there. This isn't love actually, this is movie love, where every emotional scene is backed up by a sickly love song which attempts to manipulates... (read full)

3.5/4  Actually, yes.

3/4  English vrs. American
This movie has a very English-feel to it. It is in no way like American films, such as Transformers and Titanic. It goes through simple lives of simple people who are in love. Its a great story, with great characters. The script itself is ... (read full)

1.5/4  What, Actually? (is so special?)
I liked this movie a lot but it has some major flaws. First of all, there are so many different strands in the movie that none of them are really fleshed out very well. That said, there are some really cute moments but I couldn't see what ... (read full)

1/4  Love Actually Stinks
There is not one honest moment in this entire film. What a waste of some incredible acting talent: Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth and Laura Linney had almost nothing to do, other than look bored and try to make the b... (read full)

I loved this film. A charming, touching romantic comedy. There are so many great things about the characters and the individual stories. Definitely a chick flick.

3/5 Love Actually Editorialized
  by pitbullpatti (Buckeye, AZ, USA)
This movie is entertaining and gives enough laughs throughout to make it bearable, but it could have used a serious dose of editing as, besides being very predictable for the most part, it just rambled on and on until you couldn't care less about any of the characters.

2/5 Mixed Emotions
  by Susan Bock (Ontario)
Hmmm. I am feeling like a voice in the wilderness. I like many things about this movie which shows different incarnations of love. What upset me is the portrayal of the schizophrenic brother of Laura Linney's character. In my opinion, he is an extreme case and the portrayal is scary. It perpetuates the stigma to the public and sends a message (so strong in visual media) of hopelessness to individuals suffering from mental illness and to their families as well, who already bear such a heavy burden. The writer could have portrayed this character as being out of the hospital, on the way to recovery, etc. It was just so disappointing, especially as so much of the film is well written.

3/5 A Perfectly Good Feel-Good Movie...for Christmas Time
  by ConcerningTarutarus
I never got the chance or the desire to see "Love, Actually" despite the fact it's a pretty widely known movie. That changed recently when I saw a Thai film by the same director of Dorm. The movie, "Hormones", was said to be loosely influenced by "Love, Actually". Having said that, "Love, Actually" is a charming film. But it is not something I can see anybody watching at any time of the year other than Christmas. During the summer, leave it on the shelf because there is little to gain from the film other than feel-good sentiment that is often gained through calculated manipulation.

5/5 Five Stars Actually
  by Kregg Jorgenson (Seattle)
What Hollywood and maybe its English counterpart can do best is entertain us and with Richard Curtis and LOVE ACTUALLY we get moviemaking at its best; good script, great dialogue, classic performances, and a tremendous sound track.
Is it a chick flick? At times, sure but it is also one a beer can bending, butt scratching, real guy can enjoy as well even if there are no explosions, chase scenes or zombies...ah, (sigh) zombies...
Yeah, well Bill Nighy is hilarious as the aging rock star looking for a comeback at any price and how he plays and pays it is good stuff.
This isn't a 'slice of life' movie but a 'slice of a better life' type movie and judging from the over 700 reviews here it is one that most viewers have enjoyed.
Me included.
