Would have turned it off, but...

Rating: 1/10 (1 June 2012)

I wanted to be able to write a review on how utterly bad this movie was and especially considering the impressive cast.
Love actually is all around us is what the film opens with. Then proceeds to try and pull the wool over our eyes by showing stories mostly consisting of lust, immaturity, misogyny, and stupid self-indulgence.
A maid who doesn't speak his language takes her clothes off and has a tramp stamp – all that is needed for true love for writer whose wife cheated on him. Spends 3 seconds at his family's house at Christmas but leaves to be with the maid and propose marriage when they haven't even had a real conversation.
Prime Minister who disses American President because he kisses girl that works in the office from the wrong side of the tracks.; they call her chubby, which she clearly isn't; then he "redistributes her" from the office. But he dances around like Tom Cruise so isn't he cute and relatablenot. Gets a Christmas card and goes to find her door to door (100 of them); because the Prime Minister clearly has no one who could get her address in 3 seconds flat.
Wife who just got married has an affair with photographer friend of her husband. But don't worry about her, she remarks how pretty she looks in the video.
Boring wife and husband with young coworker woman sexually attracted to him. She figures out he is cheating with chick 20 years younger.
Hideous plot line about a widower who just buried his wife and is worried about his son's behavior. The kid's terrible problem is that he is in love – his is like 8 yrs old and this is his focus. No sadness at Christmas missing his dead mom, just playing drums to get the attention of a girl; staring at her creepily. Encourage your 8 yr old to ignore security and run around alone in the airport - what an awesome dad. I found the kid to be an evil troll after this movie without any crying for his mother. He will grow up to be an uncaring vapid adult.
Old weird has-been singer trying to make a comeback.whatever. Bored.
Weirdo 2 – going to America to get laid. Gets lucky his first night in America with 4 hot chicks who take a stranger home and have an orgy.see true love. "Love" is actually all around us y'all. Remember the beginning of the movie told us.
Naked movie stand-in couple – just for the nudity obviously.
The only story I cared about was Laura Linney who had feelings for her coworker and everyone knew it. She had a special needs brother that needed attention. She was absent from the ending – what a waste.
Ending – everyone hugging at the airport – because you know, when I think of the airport, the first thing I associate with it is hugging happy people.
