A good film that takes cheap shots

Rating: 8/10 (17 May 2004)

Love Actually is a good movie. I enjoyed watching the scenes go from one story too another, and how they all came together at the end. Not everyone ended up happily ever after, and the film left you wondering what happens next with all of the characters.
The only thing I did not like were the pot shots at America. It was blatantly obvious that the director had an axe to grind, and so he took as many cheap shots as he could in his film. I guess I thought that after the incidents on 9/11, Americans would receive love and support from our allies. Instead everyone has become a critic about everything we do, and we are forced to endure political agenda being shoved down our throats in the movies we go to see for entertainment purposes. Ah, silly me. I guess there really are a few British left that are still sore about what happened between our countries in the late 1700's. (Hey, I'm an American. I'm free to take as many pot shots as I want too.)
Political agendas and pot shots aside, this movie was very well made, and fun to watch.
Rank: 8 out of 10
