Love Actually

Has anyone seen this? It was good but so soppy. I went with a girl who I used to go out with and she cried all the way through and then moaned on the way home about being single. She dumped me, might I add.

On films, what's The Cat in the Hat like? I'm hoping it will be a hit in Britain despite the fact Dr Seuss is a very low key children's book.. The Grinch was massive.

I want to see this movie--LOVE ACTUALLY.

Honestly.

Bulldog.

I saw it and really liked it for the most part. I thought they had maybe one story too many. And it was just a little too long. It definately made me want to go back to England.
I also saw the Cat in the Hat over the weekend. Absolutely dreadful. Not at all in the spirit of Dr. Seuss. Avoid it at all costs.

I saw it Wedneday and loved it. I want Colin Firth. *sigh*

I thought I'd LOVE it - - - saw it Wed and it was ok. Cute. I love Hugh Grant so that's a plus...but there were definitely too many story lines. Although I must say I saw it w/ a guy I'm "seeing" and left feeling rather tingly to say the least.

I'll address them in the actors names since I don't remember the characters' names...

What was the point of Laura Linney's storyline? They didn't even conclude it (like they did everyone elses). Is hers the only life that sucked at the end?

How could Keira Knightley, playing a married girl, randomly kiss that guy?

How ugly was that necklace that Alan Rickman bought?

And did you not cry when the little kid was running through the airport? AHHHHHH!!!

>> It definately made me want to go back to England >>

Lol. Do you think love is coming your way in England? Why do you think the guy went to Winsonsin to find sex?! To be fair, the film is a great publicity boost for our capital, I knew loads of the locations.. it's like when I came back from New York I purposely watched Home Alone 2 to point places out!

Madame X - I agree with all your points. That necklace was $460 and it sucked. I think the Laura Linney thing though was to show that no matter how much he hurt her she just had to go on in the name of .. love.

Personally I thought the worst storyline was the Colin Firth one.. it was badly written (the language jokes in the lake were dumb) and she wasn't that great looking anyway.. I think he must have been mesmirised by her body!

I read in all reviews about there being too many storylines but I thought it worked really well, for example, I didn't want to see much more of the porn actors cos they weren't interesting or anymore of the devoted sister to her brother cos it was sad or anymore of the old rock star because he was too samey.

Oh, and a great British thing was the real famous people in it - Ant and Dec, Parky, Dr Fox.. I don't think you'll have heard of those people?? They're TV/radio presenters.

I preferred Notting Hill to be honest, I laughed much more.

Jake.

Jake...
I just think it was seeing all of those London locations so beautifully shot that made me long to go back. Plus I've never been there during Christmas.

As far as Laura Linney. I don't care if God himself was calling me on my cell...I would not have gotten out of bed with THAT man!

I saw this movie last night and loved it! I left with the biggets smile on my face. I could have done without a couple of the storylines - the guy who went to Wisconsin and the porn people. I would have liked to see more of Hugh Grant (homina homina...) and Colin Firth (growling noises...) and wanted a bit more on the storyline with Kiera Knightly. But overall I'd see it again and I'll probably be buying it. It has a great soundtrack as well!

I think Joann came back to England to visit him. What I was confused about was where was Emma Thomaosn husband coming back from at the end of the movie?!

Ah, the reason this was in is because the guy who played him is very famous over here.. everyone loves him. Just like everyone laughed when Rowan Atkinson turned around.. everyone laughed at him. He's great.

I agree with Master, but I thought Hugh's cheek-shaking dance number owed a certain debt to Kevin Klein's solo turn in IN AND OUT--which was designed to tell us about that character's inner dancing queen. Either Hugh has been around, or his choreographer was winking at the audience.

SPOILER: As for the Laura L character -- why, why, why would her poor brother be given 24/7 cell phone privileges in a bin, and be allowed to be ALONE with his sister if he was violent?! Sorry folks, I love Laura in anything, but there were logic holes there that made her stoic plight hard to buy.
