Editorial Review:
With no fewer than eight couples vying for our attention, Love Actually is like the Boston Marathon of romantic comedies, and everybody wins. Having mastered the genre as the writer of Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, and Bridget Jones's Diary, it appears that first-time director Richard Curtis is just like his screenplays: He just wants to be loved, and he'll go to absurdly appealing lengths to win our affection. With Love Actually, Curtis orchestrates a minor miracle of romantic choreography, guiding a brilliant cast of stars and newcomers as they careen toward love and holiday cheer in London, among them the Prime Minister (Hugh Grant) who's smitten with his caterer; a widower (Liam Neeson) whose young son nurses the ultimate schoolboy crush; a writer (Colin Firth) who falls for his Portuguese housekeeper; a devoted wife and mother (Emma Thompson) coping with her potentially unfaithful husband (Alan Rickman); and a lovelorn American (Laura Linney) who's desperately attracted to a colleague. There's more--too much more--as Curtis wraps his Christmas gift with enough happy endings to sweeten a dozen other movies. That he pulls it off so entertainingly is undeniably impressive; that he does it so shamelessly suggests that his writing fares better with other, less ingratiating directors. --Jeff Shannon

Love Actually [Region 2] Reviews:
Delightful
2009-12-28 - I can't believe I just watched this movie for the first time! I'm sure I'll watch again and again. It really is new Christmas classic. They've struck a perfect balance between holiday film and love story. Even though there are a bunch of connected sub-plots it all works together quite well. This film has a lot of heart and I think anyone with a warm one will enjoy it.

Love Actually
2009-12-26 - Received DVD in a timely manner. Great Christmas movie. Touches on all areas of peoples lives.

One of My Favorites
2009-12-09 - The stories are grounded in reality-- well, at least as much as most Christmas movies, anyway. And though certain parts do stretch "realism", it's a about delivering the message that love is all around-- in many ways, shapes and forms. Some of the lines may be a bit corny, but the stories are clever-- as if to say "look no further than those around each of us". It's a new and creative way of looking at holiday films, which is intriguing and makes me want to curl up on the couch with hot cocoa and just enjoy.

Great Movie!
2009-12-07 - One of my favorite holiday movies! But even better is that it doesn't have to be Christmas time to watch it!

Great, Non-Traditional Holiday Movie!
2009-12-05 - This is one of my FAVORITE Holiday movies and romances. Even though I have a penchant for more high drama in romance (like Sense and Sensibility and Moulin Rouge) this very down-to-earth, realistic and heart-felt "dramadey" is wonderful to watch at Christmas time, or any time you need to believe in the beauty of unexpected love, the heartbreak of unrequited love or the sting of love betrayed. I guess I should have been born in the United Kingdom, because this film features some of my favorite actors ... all Brits, of course. Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Colin Firth and a slew of additionally talented British actors. The myriad love stories throughout the movie intertwine seamlessly and each stands on its own as well.

If you want to be warmed by love for over the Holiday Season, but don't want to see the saccharine-coated, overly mushy typical romantic fare, or the over-the-top, "holidays are insane" type comedies, I recommend "Love, Actually" as a fulfilling new Holiday classic!!
