The movie was awesome!!! [Posted on 2008-12-25]
I usually hate this type of movie and I guess I am in the holiday mood. I left the critic at the door and just went with it. The movie entertained me and I was able to escape my reality for the two hours plus that it was on. I laughed and I actually cried so I think this will be one movie I may buy. It was simply romantic and at the same time realistic with some of the love stories. Some couples ended together, some didn't and in the end it is life.

fantastic movie. A great add to your collection. I'd put with Brigitte Jones as a funny, light hearted, romance filled movie. You can watch it over and over.
Shlock Actually [Posted on 2008-12-30]
The British are still trying to find that 1930's to 1950's style, Golden Age romance for the Cinema. They spruce it up with modern mores, bed jumping and adultery, sprinkle a little adult movie moves, add a chubby, Monica Lewinski love interest for a single Prime Minister that looks a lot like Tony Blair, add mental health issues, and bingo, ya got Three Weddings and a Night to Remember.
What's all this mean American President business? Now that the Magic, oh forget it, the new Democrat is President: America is sensitive and kind.
Anything But Love Actually [Posted on 2009-01-03]
We received this movie as a Christmas gift. We attempted to watch it while the kids were watching another movie downstairs. We forced ourselves to watch the first half hour before we decided it was so not worth our time and the title had nothing to do with the movie - except for the first scene, at the airport.
The great line up of performers gave us false hope in thinking this was going to be an entertaining movie. The lack of storyline listed on the back cover should have been our first red flag.
Some of the storylines could have been made into something worth watching - like the stepfather/stepson relationship or maybe even the Prime Minister and his secretary. But because they jump around between so many storylines (mostly shallow and self-serving, oh, and don't forget the porn dropped in for what, shock affect?) it was way too difficult to make sense of any of it. Porn is not our thing and has NOTHING to do with love, neither does a guy who thinks he's a sex-god but constantly complains he can't get a girl.
Whoever thinks this movie portrays LOVE has never experienced true and lasting love. This distorted view of love is a major part of the reason our world is in the state it is in. True love is about self-sacrifice and putting someone else before your own desires. IF you actually want LOVE, in the true sense of the word this is the wrong place to find it.
Love, actually, has nothing to do with this movie. Hard to believe but Wall-E is a better romantic comedy. At least the two robots put each other first and take care of each other. The kids had the better entertainment option for the night. Lucky them.
sweet and entertaining [Posted on 2009-01-04]
My husband (who usually avoids any movie I describe as "sweet") and I rank this as one of our favorite movies. It's become a new Christmas classic in our house. Most of the British accents aren't difficult for our American ears to understand, as is often the case. It's also fun to see how many of the actors we can recognize from other films (there are a lot of people in this film).
