Amazon.co.uk Review
With no fewer than eight couples vying for our attention, Love Actually is like the London 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 (Martine McCutcheon); 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

 Anyone who gives this 1 star is just a miserable old git! July 18, 2008
One of the most feel good movies ever - ignore anyone who thinks it's too saccharine, too unrealistic, too Hugh Granty - sit back and enjoy! Anyone who thinks it's just escapism hasn't noticed Liam Neeson's amazing portrayal of a heartbroken widower, the wedding's best man who is secretly in love with the bride, the pain of Emma Thompson's character realising her husband is thinking of straying, Laura Linney's awful dilemma of her own happiness versus her mentally ill brother- the film is full of real life. It also has a really wonderful injection of unrealistic fiction and above all, a cast to die for - no bad performances whatsoever.
 Nice and optimistic time... May 19, 2008
I enjoyed watching this movie. The topic is really nice, there is love everywhere...
The sole problem may be that we are going trough to many stories... they should have choosen less stories.
I will watch it again as I am in really good mood after it. Enjoy!
 Oh lord, must we endure much more of this stuff? February 2, 2008

I finally made myself watch this film...and I almost enjoyed how much I hated it. It was just so painfully cringeworthy, quite honestly I felt it was condescending. It was made by someone who clearly spends too much time in lovely places with nice people, and I just wanted to smack it.
I love it sooooooooooooo much. December 27, 2007

Definitely the best film I have ever seen, I most recently watched it on Christmas Day. It made me cry, laugh, and smile. The perfect film for you to appreciate just about everything.

Just like 'It's Cold Outside', another unique modern feelgood Crimbo tale with diverse characters and stories. Lovely
