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

 Wonderfully entertaining! July 20, 2008
Kimberly Raiser (St. Augustine, FL)
Wonderfully casted and brilliant comedy. An incredible ensemble of talent seep through every crevice of this production. Hugh Grant is his normally charming and funny self. This is a wonderful holiday movie and gift for everyone!!!
For all romantic women July 18, 2008
Licinda Jean Mytych (Baltimore, Maryland)
I love love love this movie. And yes, you can watch it over and over again (unless you can't remember where you stuck your copy). The soundtrack is also incredible and I could listen to it over and over again (if only I could remember where I put it). These are some of the best actors and the story lines are lovely and brilliant.
Love Actually - about love, not a love story July 17, 2008
J. B. Weaver
Love, Actually is a wonderfully-acted, charming film about the nature of love in all its forms. It's less a "love story" than a look at how we humans treat love, value love, fear love, triumph with love, and live with losses due to love.
Sad, happy, funny, poignant, heart-breaking and elating stuff!
I think only a British comedy could pull this one off June 21, 2008

"Love, Actually" could have been titled "Love, Almost" with an American director. With new fewer than eight couples vying for attention in this cameo-laden romantic comedy, you need a score card to keep up--and yes, everyone does win, more or less.
We start at the top, brand new Prime Minister (Hugh Grant) just moves in to fall in love with the girl who brings him coffee. Liam Neeson is helping his grade school stepson win the heart of the very young woman he loves. Emma Thompson is on the bittersweet end as she tries to wrap her head around the idea that her husband, Alan Rickman might be cheating with an office girl.
And that's not all...The stories are heartfelt with just enough British irony to keep you laughing instead of falling into a sucrose induced coma. Kudos for producer, Curtis, for giving this story enough spice to keep it real and interesting.
