Should be called Naff Actually

Rating: Null/10 (22 December 2003)

Ok I admit I am not really a fan of sloshy romantic comedies having disliked Notting Hill and Bridget Jones' Diary. I went to see 'Love Actually' partly to please/acompany my wife and partly because of the impressive cast list.
It was entirely predictable from the typecast Prime Minister (Hugh Grant) who always plays himself to the ten year old love struck boy. At ten most boys don't even realise girls exist so it is extremely rare for one to fall head over heals in love.
I am not sure how seriously the writer meant us to take the film but it was the comment by Mr Grant during the opening seconds of the film that almost made me vomit. After that I knew it would be down hill for the rest of the film.
There were a number of amusing scenes but for the most part I sat there waiting for the credits to appear.
