Love karel knightley,especially her performance and the way that director made up the film
I loathe this movie, primarily for its inclusion of porn movie stand-ins and a sex addict as characters in what was marketed as a "Christmas film." Such a dismal waste of talent.
What a charming movie this is. It's not perfect or anything, and probably gets a little too syrupy towards the end, but it's romantic, funny, and the star-studded cast is outstanding. Weaving through so many story lines could have left the viewer confused and unsatisfied with any of them, but director Richard Curtis pulls the right strings and keeps us entertained from beginning to end. There are just so many wonderful scenes and lines. Andrew Lincoln's card scene with Keira Knightley. Colin Firth watching Lúcia Moniz walk out of his life, and then later both of them learning each other's language. Thomas Sangster, the little boy, talking to Liam Neeson about the "total agony of being in love". Hugh Grant the Prime Minister going door to door to find the sweet and sometimes foul- mouthed Martine McCutcheon. And on and on.The movie is filled with all those little moments we can identify with – secret longings, flirtation, and first kisses – but also those that are bittersweet, and those that disappoint us. The overall theme of the movie, that "love actually is all around", even though we often focus on the incidents of hate in the world, is inspiring. The shots in London are gorgeous, and the comic relief provided by the aging rocker Bill Nighy is funny. It is a feel- good movie and bound to be criticized, but it's OK to feel good once in awhile :), and this is certainly one of the better done romantic comedies.
There were several good story lines. The movie would have been much better without the Liam Neeson and Laura Linney stories. The fake porn people could of been dropped too. Next get rid of the dumb guy that goes to Wisconsin and finally fewer pictures of the skinny girl smiling. Bill was great, Hugh and thunder thighs were great and the Portuguese story was great.
