One of my favorite Fantasy Movies

Rating: 10/10 (2 December 2006)

I have seen this movie about 10 times and I will probably watch it another 50. The Brits are renowned for keeping their emotions bottled up. They agonize about embarrassing moments. They cringe at the thought of expressing their deepest hopes and dreams. Yet, one day a year, even the Brits will risk it all -- spilling out the truth - on Christmas. It's magic. Love Actually is about a proudly repressed culture that allows itself to erupt with passion, poke fun at itself, and for one day only - wear its emotions on its nation's sleeve. The story gently makes fun of America and Americans putting us on an equal plane so we can laugh at ourselves too -- and well we should. So many great scenes too. What can I say except that I carry this movie with me in my own DVD player -- my heart -- every day of the year -- especially at Christmas.
