A Romcom perfected

Rating: 8/10 (24 February 2014)

Love Actually is just about an excellent Romcom which balances that Romance and Comedy perfectly to be one of the highest rated ever. A great film with some great actors and cameos with a great writer ,director and story which well just goes together perfectly. In my review I'll tell you why overall I found this to be a great piece of cinema and why you should watch it too if you haven't.
The story is intertwined and lot's of things go on at once, this makes for one interesting piece which I am sure you find delightful and heart warming at the same time. It is more romantic than funny but the humour flows at times and you can feel yourself laughing a lot and then feeling sorry for someone because there sad too, it has it's moments. Another thing with the story is that the intertwining doesn't confuse you and the characters always know each other but not too much to bother them in there side of the love mega triangle.
I loved the acting of the various actors on show with such people as Liam Neeson, Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman among the fantastic people on show. Liam Neeson I think stays with you with an emotionless performance that suddenly becomes emotional because of his son's problems in the story and your heart strings are pulled by the end in part well, you will see or know what I mean with Neeson's sweet little son. A great cameo from Rowan Atkinson as the jewellery store owner is one of the funniest bits of the film and annoys Alan Rickman so well, it great.
Richard Curtis who directs and writes this is just superb and one the best ever with Romantic Comedies. His idea is brilliant and comes to life not just with the great acting but also his great script and I feel he deserves even more acclaim for his work than he already does so. The script is gold and ever so smartly done by Curtis and Curtis is just the mastermind of the entire project as a whole.
The film is not without slight criticisms and I guess it is in the sense that it is not laugh out loud funny and sometimes the laughter can be cut short by an emotional scene which doesn't quite work so well in parts. Although the film hardly suffers from these tiny things and all together it is just Great so not much to write here in a critical sense of the film.
I think people who like RomComs should love this film as it isn't poor in that area although people looking for hilarious jokes are going to bore themselves here. The story is soppy and for those who hate loved up feel good films then please don't watch this or you will hate it, because that is the entire film in a nutshell. All kind of people should like it but some won't, it just what happens with film, not every film can pleasure everyone.
Overall it is great, it is only just there and just about steers clear of just being a very good movie. If you dislike it I would think it would still be an OK film so it worth a watch of course, sit back and if you have a lover then this is perfect for you because if anything it can make you near fall more in love than you were before.
