Rating: Null/10 (2 June 2004)

It's about time someone made a romantic movie that speaks to adults. "Love Actually," with its seemingly unrelated yet interwoven tales of love, actually shows what love is like...and that it doesn't always turn out with hearts and flowers and the guy getting the girl in the end. Whether it's unrequited love, first puppy love, love for your siblings or the love that endures between people who've been together for a long time, this movie covers all the bases. And although it didn't turn out "perfectly" in the end, I laughed a lot and was left with that warm, fuzzy feeling that a good movie provides.
How wonderful that the plot included "older" couples, so often left out of today's movies about relationships and romance. And what a couple (Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson). Nice performances all around in a great story, and a holiday movie to boot!
