Comedy is all around

Rating: 7/10 (20 December 2010)

Richard Curtis creates movie magic with this romantic comedy set at Christmas. He combines at least seven stories beautifully and introduces us to the same sort of manic and lovable people that we have become accustomed to in his other films.
From ageing rock stars to the Prime Minister this film has it all. As with all of Curtis' comedies there is enough sap and sentiment to sink a ship but really at Christmas we want to be made to feel warm inside and this film certainly does that.
Not all the stories work but the majority do in order to make this film an instant classic that can be watched every year at Christmas time.
