I just watched this the other night with my girlfriend on DVD. I was expecting to have to sit through some "A Walk to Remember" or "Sweet Home Alabama" type movie, but I was actually suprised by this. I admit that I like Hugh Grant as an actor - hes funny. And I like British comedy...I liked Notting Hill and Bridgette Jones' Diary.

Anyways, Love Actually was really a good movie. I was quite suprised. The movie portrays about 5 different stories going on at the same time - stories about relationships between people. It takes place over 6 or so weeks before and leading up to Christmas. I do recommend to see this movie just once. It gives you a "feel good sense" at the end and the movie really is funny. On many parts I had a pretty good laugh.

Well, time to go watch Die Hard and gain back some of my lost testosterone now

I was duped into seeing this movie at a female friends "dvd night." It does have some funny parts but what was the US bashing about? Anyway... porn movie stand-ins

Yea that U.S. bashing was gay, after seeing the "prime minister" I guess grow some balls and "stand up for himself" I turned of the dvd player, and mumbled bloo-e bastards as I left.

It was a good movie. The porn stand in's are great and alot of the rest of it was really well written.

I kinda agree...It is a maudlin and formulaic Brit movie. There have been too many others exactly the same. The same people, the same characters and the same situations.

I liked it. It is one of the better chick flicks that you will be forced to watch by the significant other. A few good laughs.

The US bashing was a little predictable, they had the same type of stuff in the Ali G movie.

The point of that scene was not US bashing, there was nothing there to suggest that ther americans were bad. If anything it was having a go at tony blair because he doesn't know his ass from his elbow.
alot of brits did not think much of tony blair's decision to help the US with the war on terrorism. but personally i think with hindsight it was not a bad decision. the brits are not out to get the americans, more of us emmigrate to the US than americans come to us.
