Wonderful Film!

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2006)

I am your typical male. I like sports movies, action movies, gore/horror movies. So when I sat down and watched Love Actually, I was a bit biased. The title gives the impression that this is a chick flick. It is. What the title does not tell you is that this is a fantastic film. Not just for women (or overly emotional men), but for everyone. If you've ever been in love, if you ever hope to be, if you never think it will happen to you, this film is for you.
The relationships that are portrayed are so real. This film made me want to yell at the TV (yes, I watched it first after it came out on DVD). I wanted to root for some characters, yell at others, and cry for the rest.
It has been a long time (maybe ever) since I cried during a movie. However, when Karen opens her gift and it is NOT the necklace, I felt her pain. The way the film moves between relationships and sets you up, is masterful.
This is the best holiday/relationship/comedy film I've ever seen! Highly Recommended!
