Disappointing.

Rating: 4/10 (10 June 2004)

It has been too long since I have seen an overlong display of sap, drowning over every heart the world over. 'Love Actually' will work at every chance it has to get you drawn in, with several stories from a large cast hoping that one of them will make you feel for the movie. It's all fluff really, and the cramming in of all the stories create one indifferent movie, with no time to really care about most of the characters.
The stories of several couples and their love are told around Christmas time.
For a romantic comedy, there is very little of the latter. Because of the length of 'Love Actually,' next to none of the charm works! It's boring and drives home its only point, that love is all around, so many times that you might as well take the film, throw it in the fridge, let it age and serve it at your next cocktail party with the red wine. Be prepared for a mind-numbing experience, with little chuckles.
