Love Actually (2003) 8/10


Starring : Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Laura Linney, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Keira Knightley, Martine McCutcheon, Bill Nighy, Rowan Atkinson
Director : Richard Curtis
Running Time : 129 mins

It’s Christmas time in England, and a number of existing and potential couples, ranging from the everyday boy and girl next door right up to the new bachelor Prime Minister, struggle to decide whether the decisions they’ve made about love are the correct ones, or if they need to take the next step or just move on.

This was a lovely movie, filled with enough humour and romance to keep even the most cynical person entertained. It’s a little long, but there’s so much going on it hardly feels that long at all. A definite must for any fan of Richard Curtis’s work, and this possibly even one of his best.
