This is just such a wonderful movie. Funny, heartwarming, and tragic in equal parts. This was a first-date movie for me, and turned out to be so awkward. But, over the years I've grown to love it so much. My brother hates British romantic comedies, but even he loves this movie. The chemistry between Liam Neeson's character and his stepson is stellar. It's got such a great cast, and is a movie I always revisit every Christmas. This is us at our best.

Love this film, it really has so much quintessentially English charm. You probably don't know who she is so you missed the joke, but at the beginning the father and young son joke about him getting together with Claudia Schiffer, a supermodel in the 90s. The lady he bumped into at the end at the school concert... was Claudia Schiffer. There are just so many British acting legends in this film, all with really quite small cameos. No egos, just everyone enjoying being in an unapologetically heart warming, romantic film. Its pretty much the only Christmas film I'll watch

One thing about Rowan Atkinson's appearance, I read somewhere that at one point he had a bigger storyline as an Angel of Christmas appearing in each storyline to give Love a little nudge or to save it etc. I truly love this film, own the DVD, and have watched it many, many times. I always get to have a couple of little cry's and it reminds me that Love is out there for us all even if it occasionally gets a little bit messed up along the way.

Thanks Joel I love this film and have watched it a few times over the years . The little boy who'd fallen in love with an American school girl in his school had recently lost his mum. His step dad (Niam Leeson) initially laughed as most probably would do, but then he realised his step son's feelings were real and he did all he could to help. Love Actually is a great film, full of various people's lives, loves and losses etc. So, however young or old a person is their feelings are real and should be respected.

The film tells I think 6 stories which interwine at the Christmas concert. Falling in love, finding love after loosing a partner, first love, cheating love, finding out you married the wrong guy, secret love. Hugh Grant was the Prime Minister. Doubt if they actually used the staircase in 10 Downing Street. Colin Firth who jumped into the lake. Mr Darcy in Pride & Prejudice- THAT lake scene. Carry on the good work & Merry Christmas to you & yours.

Glad you liked this great film with so many brilliant actors and so many poignant moments. Shame you laughed at the young boy's love story though. If you do have kids someday you'll probably be more understanding of how strongly kids feel about all sorts of things, including love. Fave stories from this film are Bill Nighy's (apparently he's said he thinks the famous quote will be at the top of his obituary “Hiya kids. Here is an important message from your Uncle Bill. Don’t buy drugs. Become a pop star, and they give you them for free!” and also Colin Firth's Portuguese one. Ahhh, must go rewatch Love Actually, thanks for the reminder, Joel.

Love Actually wasn’t a bad film, but I did feel filmmakers were trying to recreate the magic they did when they made Notting Hill. It wasn’t the same film but it was a good try.

I saw an interview in which the creator said he had a bunch of ideas for different love stories, but at the time couldn't think of engaging unique ways to spin them out with enough content to be standalone films. His solution was to put them all together in one movie. From a certain point of view it worked "love actually" does standout as something different artistically. I like many of the hallmark films but at the same time you could say they are cookie cutter films as they are very predictable.
