Love Actually

Post by Surfr »

What a fantastic film. Brought some much needed fluff to my week. A very very British film, and all the better for it. I cried with laughter and blubby joy like a little girl.

I am curious to know if any friends across the pond have seen it though; for 2 reasons. How did you find the humour? and 2) How did you take the slight presidential digs?

Top notch. IMHO a must see.

Hi!
I haven't seen it but I'll make a note to check it out as soon as I can. Sounds interesting.

I don't watch a lot of television or movies, etc., but sometimes it's an enjoyable way to spend time and almost a necessity on a freezing night like tonight.
Thanks for the heads up on the flick. 8)

not enough car chases :D

only joking.

i'm english, so i got the jokes. when me and my wife (who's canadian) went to see it, it seemed like most poeple got the humour and the digs at the americans.

most of the time i had to put up with women in the audience cooing over hugh grant and the whole "british thing" like the accent and that stuff that doesn't make any sense to me, but hey, i find it works to my advantage sometimes.

so, in summary: nice film, good comedy, but really just a hugh grant gravy train.

Well I liked it as well. It's nothing new, ground-breaking or thought provoking, but it made me feel better about life for a couple of hours and that's no bad thing if you ask me :D

Yay, it's lovely. Perfect wintery warmy feely goody filmy. Or something. It's predictable in a good comforting kind of a way, rather than an oh gawd I know what's going to happen bad kind a of way.

And it's got Kiera Knightly in it - how bad can it be?

Best film I ever saw along these lines was Bridget Jones' Diary.

And d'you know why? It's got a solid five-minute sequence of Hugh Grant getting the living shit beaten out of him. Oh yes. Spin the disk back. Watch it again. Slow-mo that. Oh, for multi-angle! Capture that bit of footage and comp in some flying fucking teeth you poncy cockweasel.

I liked it a lot too. Though held of the blubby joy just long enough to retain my street cred.
