Love Awfully

Rating: 1/10 (25 December 2013)

I'm genuinely surprised to see such a high score for this film. Even as a cheesy Christmas love flick it's truly terrible.
Two hours of hackneyed clichés of British life interspersed with wholly unrealistic situations. Such as the writer who falls in love with a Portuguese woman he can't speak to or the misogynist Brit who goes to America to find easy girls, or worst of all Andrew Lincoln playing a guy who is borderline stalking his friend's WIFE Keira Knightley, and she's flattered by it.
The film winds up being some sort of horrid self parody, making out that love is the true meaning of Christmas and mocking the Christmas cheese hits while commercialising the holiday period itself.
There's so much talent involved that you start wondering what on earth went so wrong. Two hours of your life that you'll never get back.
