Love Actually (2003): Follows the lives of eight very different couples in dealing with their love lives in various loosely and interrelated tales all set during a frantic month before Christmas in London, England. (7.8)
Director: Richard Curtis
Writer: Richard Curtis
Stars: Hugh Grant, Martine McCutcheon and Liam Neeson
Corny yet surprisingly effective set of stories make up this movie with an over the top dose of love. Yes, as the beginning of the movie tells us, love is actually all around us; supposedly. It depicts complicated situations, and for most folks in the movie it works out at the end, ... sort of. (Then again, love is a four-letter word. Sour grapes? Nah.) A feel-good movie, probably best viewed during the Christmas time to get into the spirit of it all. I suppose, most people like this movie because there's at least one character that speaks directly to his/her heart. My Rating: 7.0
