GREAT

Rating: Null/10 (16 May 2004)

A great film.
There was more than enough great performances and Hugh Grant was , quite strangely, beaten in this by his cousin, talk about weeird. The film opens out with Hugh Grant voice overing shots of friends etc. meeting at Heathrow Airport, he reminds you of what make the world go round and following is a scene of a drugged out, rocked out ex superstar singing a crap cover of the single, Love is All Around in Christmas form.
The Characters Represent different kinds of love but sometimes I think that it's a bit unrealistic (I mean how likely is it that some kid would go charging off after a girl in the middle of an airport???)
There is tons of cheesy pop songs and a great performance by Olivia Olsen (Joanna) at the end, matching Mariah Carey's Performance of the song All I want for Christmas.
All set in a snowy freezing pre Christmas London, I think this film is great.
