... a christmas classic, out of the chute!

Rating: Null/10 (1 November 2003)

Finally something fresh for Christmas. Sure, it takes 20 years to determine whether a film becomes a classic. Trust me: the ingredients are there: Character chemistry, fresh writing, memorable antics ... It's a feel good film and a mirror for whether you've got the right stuff in your own love life. "Classic," agreed Frank Capra's spirit, "just in time for (every) Christmas."
It's the first chick flick (they make no bones about it) that's 2 hours 8 minutes long where 'No One' gets killed and 'nothing' explodes that I actually liked. Scratch that. ... Loved Actually!
If you miss it in the theater (huge mistake), know you'll be seeing it again for decades to come right around this time of year. ... enjoy.
