sap

Rating: 6/10 (22 February 2006)

Love, Actually is actually one of the few movies that has made me cry- I rented it, however, and none of my roommates had the patience for it's sappiness or it's britishness. The humor is more cutesy than anything. I suspect this is a "chick flick" because it features Hugh Grant AND Colin Firth AND Liam Neeson, and.. just about every British actor ever. Somehow, it manages to overkill with the cutesy humor and the sappy plot lines about relationships. Some great acting can be found in this movie.. namely, in Emma Thompson, whose character deals with something extremely heart wrenching that most people can relate to. Watch this alone to indulge in sappiness or around Christmas, but don't make your friends sit through it.
