Definitely Good Film for the Christmas Season

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2011)

There have been mixed reviews about Love Actually and I have to say that it's not the case that it shouldn't be mixed. This film doesn't flaw nor does it bail on anything it makes itself out to be. The actors all are really believable in their roles, the story involving Christmas was a really good idea. Blending in romance and having the use of comedic and emotional scenes to top it off were all a blast in this film. The cast are excellent, again.
I do remember watching this as a kid but I only remembered a few small parts of it. Because the film was set on Christmas, setting it off, I decided to try it out again, now being older also, wanting to watch it near Christmas time. It also used to premiere on channel 10 a bit.
The film sets during the Christmas season where there are mix up's of all these couples trying to get together and enjoy this joyful time of the year for what it is. The film stars some of these actors: Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Bill Nighy, Emma Thompson and Keira Knightley. There are many more but the list would go on if I mentioned all. What I will say is that "Mr. Bean", Elishia Cuthbert and Billy Bob Thornton make small cameo appearances.
I love nearly every character. They just pull of their roles really well and the casting of them was an excellent mix. I mean who could have thought that Liam Neeson would mix with Hugh Grant? I didn't know that all these actors coming together would make this film so special.
I also love many of the scenes. Either emotional or comedic but either way, I found it to be enjoyable, EITHER WAY.
Anyways, this is a film which deserves to be highly rated and those who don't like it too much must have cheesy films glued to their brain. This is a comedic masterpiece. Everything is put together so well, and when I was getting into it, like "About a boy" when the title credits ended, I was already into it, loving the characters, loving the scenes and praising the story for what it was.
If you watch this film, you must watch it near or during the Christmas break. That's what I did and I'm so glad I did. This film goes for just over two hours and amazing thing is that if you're hooked to this, it won't feel like two hours.
This film is an easy 9.5/10
