Love Actually

[SUTTILL]

Took the Mrs. to see this on Saturday. Hilarious!

Highly recommend this romantic comedy, but don't bring the kiddies as there are some "adult only" nude scenes that are actually pretty funny.

It involves about 8 or so subplots about different couples that get intertwined in the end. Hugh Grant was actually pretty enjoyable in this one, usually not one of my favorites, as the British Prime Minister. It kind of reminded me of an old TV show called "Love American Style"... One of the funniest characters is a washed up rock star that is trying to make a come back. Pretty funny show.

Anyone else see this??

Great movie, hilarious...and, I might add, the best Keira Knightly has ever looked, which is hard to top!

The storylines were all great, this was a great addition to the Notting Hill and Four Weddings family.

Very, very VERY good movie! A tad, but only a tad, disappointed about the many story lines-a little more depth would have been nice, but it was just fine as-is! Wow!

*****Spoiler*****

Actually, only a minor spoiler. I love, LOVE the fact that they weren't all 'happy endings'. That the one girl chose the brother, that the guy didn't get Keira Knightly, etc...damn, the Brits know how to do these kinds of movies right!

Yeah, and how much did that get to you, the guy not getting Knightly? The Brits do know how to make these movies...

My favorite part was the storyline with the Portugese girl. The guy started out in a pretty sad situation, but it turned out nicely for him.

And how bout the British nerd and his first experience at the "average American bar". What a riot!

That was hilarious! I thought they were going to turn out to be like prostitutes or something, but they just totally make it into a real thing for the guy, that was so funny.

I thought he was going to be having a dream on the plane or something! Completely illogical (in Wisconsin, too!) and totally funny.

WOW! That was so harsh, yet so cool.

I usually figure stuff like this out pretty quickly, but not until she actually got to the apartment did I understand.

Plus, how much could her kiss have toremented him if he hadn't resolved to move on? Yikes!

Yeah, and not just because Keira Knightly is freaking gorgeous, lol.

Gawd almighty, is she ever!

You know, I am NOT attracted to really skinny women at all. In fact, I downright despise those Flockharts of the world. I think Keira is just naturally skinny-there are girls like that out there...and she is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!

I felt guilty when I drooled watching Bend it Like Beckham, but I think she was of age when they filmed it Lol

Yeah, we just watched Beckham this past weekend...she was a little too skinny in it, but man, she's just amazing in Love Actually.

I think she's filling out as she ages a bit.

Wasn't that a damn good movie, Beckham?

Yeah, when it first started, I was like, ugh, this doesn't look appealing to me...but then it got good. Great performances by all.

Saw it today! Loved It!

 

[Skkorpion]

Okay movie. Funny and entertaining. I've seen better.

Wasn't as good as I expected.

 

[Bada0Bing]

Just watched it. I wasn’t really into it at first, but the characters started to grow on me. By the end I was totally immersed in the story lines. What an amazing cast.

I liked it.

I guess that's it. I know all of my friends love it, but I guess I dont. I just like it.

Didn't love it!?!?!? And you call yourself a woman?

 

[Chaplin]

Saw this for the first time a couple days ago. I heard it was good, but I didn't quite know how good it was until I saw it. Terrific movie.

****SPOILER****

I couldn't miss the irony in the movie, regarding Alan Rickman's and Emma Thompson's characters. She was probably the most stable character in the entire film, and she ends up being the most tragic. What an actress she is.

I love Keira Knightly as well, but I have to say my favorite plot in the entire film was the Liam Neeson one. Such a well done story thread.

 

[D-Dogg]

I liked this movie a great deal...very well done and great cast. I have caught it on HBO a few times since first seeing it, and find myself stopping what I'm doing and watching...that's the sign of a good film, IMO.

 

[Jersey Girl]

Just watched this (again) cause it was on TV. Easily one of my favorite movies of all time.

 

[Bada0Bing]

Man oh man. This is how you make a movie. Watched it for the 2nd time ten years later and it's even better this time around. It's amazing how this many fantastic performances can be in the same 2+ hour film.

Of the adult christmas films made in the last 50 years I don't think any come close to this one.

 

[crisper57]

Ever year that passes, it seems this movie has produced another star. Love it!

Not a fan of this movie now. I might need to give up my chick-card, I know.

The Emma Thompson storyline just ruins it for me. I much prefer happy endings in movies as opposed to real life or sad ones.

I don't want to watch a movie that will make me feel sad and this one does.

Head in the sand, heart in the clouds.

there is so much messed up stuff that happens in this movie.

the Andrew Lincoln story alone is beyond messed up if you actually think about it for more then a sappy minute. I mean, REALLY messed up.
