I'm a guy and this is one of the top 10 best movies I have ever seen!

Rating: 10/10 (13 May 2019)

I got Love Actually for $1 at a garage sale in 2017 I waited until January 2018 to see it, and I fell in love with it as I watched it! I've seen it about half a dozen times since!
Love Actually has 9 plots that go back and forth about love in London at Christmastime. Usually I would sit down and summarize each one, but instead I will suggest Googling Daily Dot's ranking of the plots and immediately discuss what I enjoy about the movie as a whole.
Romantic comedies are hit or slight miss for me. Religious convictions aside, I think it's stupid for sex to advance the romances in these movies.
People fall in love because of who they are, their character, their beauty-inner and outer, likes, interests, etc. and NOT BECAUSE THEY BANG EACH OTHER AFTER BARELY KNOWING EACH OTHER!
Love Actually does have some sex in it(Hence it's R rating), but there are all kinds of love in the movie. For example, a stepfather named Daniel gives his stepson advice about how to get to know his love, showing a father-son bond. Daniel also asks if the crush is a boy, hinting that he loves his son no matter his sexual orientation.
One woman has a boyfriend AND a mentally unstable brother, and she sacrificed her dating life for her brother. She could have done the cognitive and gave up her brother, but she knew family came first and her brother mattered more.
There is also some homosexual love, pointing out that romantic love comes in multiple forms as well.
Aside from the love aspect, other things make Love Actually fantastic. The movie's no Citizen Kane, but every moment is so entertaining and well written.
Ignoring a pointless plot with sex scene stand ins, there's not a thing I'd change about the movie. (I don't love that plot but I've been less annoyed by that overtime.) To me, Love Actually is perfect. (You'll get that later.)
By definition, Love Actualy isn't a masterpiece, but it is a masterpiece to me. It's so fun and endearing, no words can satisfy my admiration for it. When it comes to it's subject matter, this is love....actually!
