Have you ever just been drawn into a movie?

Rating: 10/10 (7 March 2008)

Every now and then one comes across a movie which just enthralls. It doesn't particularly have to be the greatest movie, it really doesn't need to have the best plot, it may have actors you don't relate to in any way, but for some unknown reason you just can't seem to drag yourself away from it.
Love Actually is a great movie at drawing in people. I've seen it a number of times, and at various locations from the cinema to DVD to commercial television, I've watched it with various people and alone and it just seems to have a certain charm which is hard to put a finger on.
The stories are laced together through a number of various scenes and they all seem to come together perfectly in the end. Not every story has a happy ending, but then again life isn't always about a happy ending is it? I don't know what people expect from this movie that has an amazing cast and a number of cameo appearances from equally talented stars but take it for what it is, a clever insight into life and all its quirks......
I won't give away any plot lines but just keep an eye out for Keira Knightley who in a particularly revealing moment has the most amazing facial expressions that in an instant show what makes this movie so special. :) R.
