Love Actually (2003)


When it's over, what's not to love about Love Actually, one of my Christmas favourites.  The stories inter-weave brilliantly featuring a well-known British cast and some new faces then, who are no longer new faces today.  The soundtrack's catchy and perfectly placed within the film making me cry through the sad moments and laugh through the comedic ones.  Most of all, it's just a feel-good film that truly lasts the test of time.  Love is the obvious theme throughout the film, and Director/Writer, Richard Curtis, cleverly explores the many facets of love - how it begins,  how it ends, and sometimes, how we endure the pain.  By far, one of the best romantic comedies to deal with this theme that covers varying ages and social levels. 

My rating: 5 out of 5
