  Love Actually is Good
Review created: 09/27/05
4 of 7 people found this review helpful.

“Love Actually” is one of my favorite romantic comedies. It doesn’t cheap out by being overly gooey and takes advantage of its R rating to actually give us some blunt advice about relationships.

With ten interlocking stories, it’s not perfect. It’s about impossible to keep that many stories and characters interesting in 135 minutes. I can think of two of the subplots that could easily have been discarded that would have made for a stronger film. The stories that do work, however, make up for the downtime.

If you are a fan of movies like ‘Shortcuts’, ‘Magnolia’, etc. that weave multiple stories together, you may want to give it a view though it’s a different movie entirely. I would recommend it as something you and your significant other can watch together for an enjoyable evening.

This copy is to replace one that came from Asia and was recorded in a movie theatre. The sound was terrible and you could see people getting up and passing infront of the camera recording from the movie screen. This copy is perfect.
Thanks.

I LOVE this movie! It is the perfect Christmas or anytime movie and has enough humor in it that men wouldn't really notice that it is a chick flick until they hear you saying "awwww!" It does have nudity in it, just to warn you. It is not a children's movie, but it is an amazing romantic comedy.

Few comedies have the wit and plot of "Love Actually." An allstar cast delivers an outstanding perfomance that is touching but mostly funny.

  Love Actually DVD
Review created: 01/06/08(updated 01/06/08)

The movie is a Christmastime favorite. Like several other of my favorite movies I had lost my orginal copy. I was able to get a new copy of this movie and several others at very reasonable prices without searching all over town.
Anyone purchasing movies should always check if the version if they have a preference of wide or full screen and weather or not they are purchasing a DVD or VHS copy.

  Love Actually (2004, DVD)
Review created: 12/02/07

Great movie, "feel-good" and fun to watch around the holidays. I've seen it before and have been trying to get it at various stores without any luck. Great price offered on E-bay. Very good past experiences with the site in general and dealing with vendors. Highly recommend the seller for reliability and promptness. No complaints!

The movie explores different types of love relationships, even with the violent mentally ill. Well crafted collage of stories.

  Best Seen Again and Again

Love Actually is one of my favorite films. I didn't say it was the best film ever made--it is simply one of my favorite ones. I have to say that it is better appreciated after viewing it several times. The multiple stories, jokes, great one-liners, embarrassed looks, complex character relationships, and small moments become clearer on a second or third viewing. After the first viewing, you are left a little dizzy, but smiling and warm, as Richard Curtis (writer and director) intended. But,it would be impossible to see this film once and catch all the jokes, glances, and small bits that make it a rich concoction that truly is more than fluff. Mr. Curtis did not practice restraint in his writing or direction. He was a baker who probably tired to put too much into one cake--but it is such a lovely too much. The plot lines can be viewed as a layer cake. The sweet chocolate icing on the cake is the tale of Colin, and ordinary English bloke, who flies off to Milwaukee to find the promised land of sexy American girls who have wild sex with any male with an English accent. His success is absurb, delightful, and a dream come true that even my feminist soul could not deny him. The cake has several layers. In one the posh prime minister (played by Hugh Grant with an expertise that leaves no fingerprints)and his lower class tea lady (Martina McCutheon) with an amazing fluency in profanity; a widowed step-father supporting an 11 year boy through the adventures and pains of first love; and love-betray writer who finds fall in love with his Portuguese maid with whom he has no shared spoken language. These sweet layers are balanced by the more bitter tales. One involves permanent damage of bored husband's betrayal played with devastating subtlety by Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson. Another is just a heartbreaking story about things not meant between two fragile people where the relationship appears to hold so much promise A couple of other plot lines provide the nuts and the fruit in the cake and everyone is connected through friendship, work, family, or the geography of a London neighborhood.

Of course it is all too much, too sweet at times, too complicated, and too confusing. But, so is life and love and how much poorer we would all be without being reminded of that. So, lay your skepticism (although not your sense of humor)aside for a while and watch the stories go by. Then, later, pull out your DVD to watch again as Hugh Grant surrender his stiff upper lip to sing Good King Wenceslas to three little girls on Christmas Eve and dance down the steps at number 10 to Jump! Or see hear once more Emma Thompson's simple, resigned "Home" near the end to remind you how fragile all that silly happiness really is and that love sometimes takes the form of seeing things through. Love Actually is all the good parts in one Christmas candy box. Perhaps it is a bit overwhelming when first opened. But, you can it out again and the stories will always make you laugh, hurt, and smile. It is a funny, dear, and lovely film. I find it very silly to like it so very, very much. But, I am very glad I do.

  Great DVD, It is Love Actually!
Review created: 04/21/07

I limit buying DVDs for many reasons. First, storage is always problematic - towers of DVDs surrounding my electronics is not my idea of decorating and the thought of spending hundreds of dollars on a piece of furniture to store $20 items seems silly. Plus, I really, really have to love a movie to consider paying money for it and since Hugh Grant and Colin Firth are two of my favorite actors and Love Actually is such a great, feel good Christmas movie, I couldn't resist buying it used. Before purchasing, I verified with the seller that it was not a bootleg copy (I was told it was originally purchased in the factory shrink wrap from WalMart). I received the movie and enjoyed watching it to make sure there were no skips or sputters. Everything was fine and I will look forward to sharing it with others during the next holiday season. What a great film!

This has become my wife's favorite movie. It is rated R, so we bought an edited version so the children could see this quite movie, however too much was edited out. The opening and closing scenes remind you that people are naturally good at heart.

  Love Actually
Review created: 09/07/06

This is such a great film. I already knew many of the actors in it. Actually, I was mainly attracted to it because of Alan Rickman. He is such a talented actor. But he isn't the only one in this Holiday season' film. There is also Emma Thompson, who plays opposite Rickman. I love how she can do any type of character, and still be great at it.
