Advantages: Good Actors Disadvantages: Lack Of Plot
Introduction:
If I have to see another shot of Keira Knightley's perfect smile and exceptionally toothy grin I will in fact self combust. She is in fact lovely, but vapid in this film, all she does is smile and look slightly bemused but she doesn't have a big part in this film, so I'm trying to get over it.
This is Richard Curtis's not sequel, because it doesn't follow on from Four Weddings and a Funeral (almost put Four Weedings and a Funeral ...

Advantages: warm-hearted, cute, funny, great soundtrack Disadvantages: A bit sappy, some scenes make it inappropriate for children
Love, Actually is one of my favorite movies. It's sappy without being too over the top, it's funny, warm-hearted, and is the perfect fix when you're looking for a chick-flick that won't make you completely dissolve, but will still give you that satisfying warm glow. And as an added bonus, it has a stellar cast who turn in some lovely performances.
It's basic premise is that love is actually all around (it's working title in the UK), and it follows ...

...that are trying to find love, or not even looking for it but it happens. Its based around the Christmas festivities and people getting ready for the celebrations. Focused at a range of different people from people living in the east end of London, to high calibre business men, it shows how love can blossom when you least expect it. Sometimes its right, sometimes its wrong.

Advantages: Great cast, lovely stories, great music, Christmas!! Disadvantages: None
Love Actually has now become one of my favourite British Movies of all time and in my opinion can be classed as a British Classic alongside such favourites as Notting Hill and Four Weddings and a Funeral. It was released in 2003 and directed by Richard Curtis.
The great part about the film in my opinion is the way in which the stories and the characters all weave and are linked in very creative ways to show how the personal lives of others can ...

Advantages: great film Disadvantages: n/a
This is a great Christmas film and with so many different perspectives on peoples lives that this film takes you through you will never get bored. It is incredible that, with so many different characters and storylines running through, the plot comes together and makes for a film that is enjoyable throughout
This film starts off with rock star played Bill Nighy who is recording a new song for Christmas for an end-of-career comeback, but will it ...

Advantages: Easy to watch Disadvantages: not long enough! we want more of the Grant master!
This film is great!
So easy to watch, the story line isnt very complicated and it really makes you feel good after watching it.
The soundtrack is really good, some great songs, and there are some really really funny lines in it, and its so easy to relate to.
Watch is at christmas when its snowing with your boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife and you'll be feeling totally loved up!
Some parts are fairly tearful, but as with most films everything ...

Advantages: Fun, British film with good actors and storylines Disadvantages: Some nudity and swearing
This is a heartwarming piece of festive fun for anyone who's ever felt lonely at christmas.
Director and writer Richard Curtis pulls of the almost impossible feat of telling so many different stories in one film, and yet we still feel a connection with the characters.
With stars such as Liam Neeson, Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman and Keira Knghtley starring, as well as many others, this is a genuinly good British movie.
