The Brits are trying to make a point...

Rating: 2/10 (8 April 2006)

we pulled out all over top guns and then some and yet this fluff is all we could come up with. Like anybody would every believe a person like Kiera Knightley would marry a Black man. Portraying graphic sex in what should have been a family holiday movie? How classy! And those anti-American statements were just too tacky. While I don't know how true it is that an average American girl would have sex with the ugliest of Brits just because of his accent, I just found the Bill Bob Thorton president scene to be a bit much. Yeah, so Americans have stereotyped Brits for years as the villains in their films. That's not actually a stereotype y'know? You do the math. Anways, let's talk about the film if you care for my review. That stuck up Hugh Grant narrates how after 9/11 (yeah they're that tacky to use 9/11 to gain sentiments) people seem to understand that Love actually is all around us. Then the film proceeds to show all sorts of British relationships and how they all have their ups and downs. And they throw in a few Americans in negative roles just for affirmative action I guess. Who knows. The film stars Bill Nighy, Gregor Fisher, Rory MacGregor, Colin Firth, Sienna Guillory, Liam Neeson, Emma Thompson, Lulu Popplewell, Kris Marshall, Heike Makatsch, Martin Freeman, Joanna Page, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Andrew Lincoln, Keira Knightley, Bill Bob Thorton, and Laura Linney just to mention a few. A few wise Brits like Rachel Weisz and Catherine Zeta Jones wisely avoided this canker-worm of a film like a bad rash. They couldn't get Kate Winslet (that wise darling) to come her waste her two cents in it, so they stole a scene from Titanic and put it in the film. Yes, they are that tacky! I could sit here and list everything that's wrong with this pretentious overblown, over praised and overzealous film but y'know what? I'll rather go punch a wall.
