I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes...

Rating: 10/10 (30 August 2004)

I have seen so few movies that capture the many facets of love. This is ONE of those films. It is a poignant montage of the many loves we encounter in life and it is delivered in a very funny and heartwarming way by the finest ensemble of UK actors lead by Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Kiera Knightley, Colin Firth, Liam Neeson and the very funny Bill Nighy who really knocked my pants off with his rendition of love is all around retitled :Christmas is all around'. With a soaring soundtrack by Craig Armstrong there is really nothing you can hate in this movie. It is a very modern view of love and relationships in the 21st century. In this day and age when most romantic comedies are simply shallow, Love actually delves deeper (but not to the point of being boring) into the more wonderful circumstances that surround the feeling of being in love in all its many forms be it puppy love, forbidden love, blind love, familial love, etc. its all here. Indeed, when I finished watching it I really felt that love actually is all around

Two very enthusiastic thumbs up. 10/10 Excellent romantic comedy.
