Love Actually (2003)
Don't expect too much
We all know why we came around to watching this film. We were blinded by the all-star cast and the foggy summary of the story and decided "Why not?". It's a weird thing because there really isn't much to be said any further than "follows the lives of eight different couples" - you see bits and pieces of those very different relationships but in the end you aren't fully satisfied with any of them. All the time I felt like a writer was given a list with the actors that should be included and was made to write a bearable script for them. And the result was a movie that feels incomplete in not one, but eight ways (well, maybe 7 1/2). There are some good sides to it, though. The actors do their job well, the stories are simple but enjoyable and it's enough to keep you entertained without making you feel like you have been robbed of two hours of your time. Love Actually isn't a bad movie, but it's not a great one. If you catch it on TV and there is nothing else to watch it's a good option, but otherwise I'd say skip it.
