Enough bad language to sink a battleship!!!

Rating: 1/10 (24 May 2006)

This is supposed to be "one of the best British films of the recent years"????!!!! Well, maybe only because just about every notable British star of today is in it. Yeah....and every single one of them has to say F*** at least once, even the Portugese maid (translated in the subtitles, naturally!) Is this much cussing really NECESSARY in a romantic comedy, and a Christmas one at that?! But then again, what else one might expect from a movie with Hugh Grant as the center of attention? It's one thing to put up with filthy mouths in a movie with a good story, like "Bridget Jones' Diary", and another to get a ear full of it in some corny, not funny and utterly overrated movie such as "Love Actually". My only regret is that this was the very first movie I ever saw with Colin Firth, and though at that time I had no idea who he was, his storyline in this movie was the most tolerable of them all. He is now one of my top favourite actors, and had this movie exhibited a little more class, he would have become my favourite actor much sooner.
