One of the best Christmas movies

Rating: 9/10 (17 November 2006)

I tend not to be a sappy person but this movie gets me every time I watch. I enjoy the diverse cast. My only complaint would be too much cheesy music in the soundtrack (read: Mariah Carey). I enjoy the stories of love, the setting of London and humor presented. I consider it a must see for those who enjoy the holiday season and romantic comedies. IMDb says I must write more, OK. I particularly enjoy the Emma Thompson/Alan Rickman story. They seemed the most realistic to me. A long time married couple who must deal with one spouse's flirtation with infidelity and the consequences of people's actions. I enjoy how their situation is handled. Also, I really enjoyed Hugh Grant's story line. When I say I enjoy the diversity in the film I mean the ethnic, age and size diversity that the director incorporates. It's hardly represented in many movies and the reality is that there are many types of people and they do all fall in love. I'd say to all the naysayers about romantic comedies that you may be surprised by this movie. It's actually heavy on the comedy as well.
