Rather brilliant, actually!

Rating: Null/10 (18 November 2003)

I fell in love with this film as soon as I saw the sneak previews. I love all of Richard Curtis' films and had high hopes for this one. I was not to be dissapointed.
Within the first five minutes I already had tears in my eyes - and lads, don't let that put you off. I was rather overwhelmed by the feel-good factor - not sentiment. The only way to describe the feeling I experienced while watching 'Love Actually', is it's like running to the top of a hill and shouting for joy at the top of your lungs. Or, to quote from another Grant vehicle, 'About a Boy', Love Actually left me with 'a warm, fuzzy feeling'inside.
This isn't a chick-flick, this isn't a tear-jerker, it's a happy, optimistic, festive fun flick which will leave you feeling as satisfied as if you'd just eaten a three course Christmas dinner. Go see, drool over the men or women or both, laugh out loud and I promise you, you'll walk out the cinema with a smile on your face, and the world will seem a better place to be...if only for a while.
