Love Actually

If that's the one where they dance on the bonnet of cars at the beginning then I'm with you. No one gets out and twats them. No one. Just leap onto my bonnet, go on, today's cars are made of 50 inch steel, nothing will break.

Interestingly that scene took 6 months to make and they damaged many cars in the making
 
Never seen it and all Richard Curtis films sound crap. In the bits I’ve seen of them, even with the numerous quality actors they have, nobody really excels other than being themselves. Just boring stories.

Whole thing is a complete mish mash
Flicks between so many lives that you can’t connect to any of them
A PM (Hugh Grant) knocking on doors to find Martine McCutcheon
A bloke knocking on the door to tell Kiera Knightly he loves her via Bob Dylan style notes (whilst her boyfriend is sitting on the bloody couch!)
Alan Rickman falling for a weirdo was probably the highlight, good acting from him and Emma Thompson.
Ending is just some weird Airport scene where a few of them hug.

2 and half hours of pointless TV

Alan Rickman looks positively ashamed at being in that film in that airport scene at the end. Oh and then the end credits, eurgh pass the bucket. It’s a shame Alan didn’t turn into Hans Gruber and take them all out. I’d watch that.

Which ones?

It’s ridiculously London-centric and middle class, like almost anything Richard Curtis produces, but it’s not the worst thing I’ve ever seen. Thought it was ok.

Creepy was probably going overboard but off the top of my head (haven't watched it in years):

- The wedding cameraman's pursuit of his best mates wife.
- Colin Firth wanting to marry the maid despite never having a conversation with her and then her father being okay with what he thinks is selling her into slavery.
- Alan Rickman cheating on his wife with his dodgy secretary.

Don't know whether I need to spoiler that after nearly 20 years.

There's more storylines that I think are bizarrely dressed up as 'romantic'.

I suppose that's my main issue, it being called a romantic holiday classic when it's just not.

Agree about the second two, but thought the best man one wsa about friendship as well as romance. Sometimes, you can’t help who you fall in love with.

So one of your best mates knocks on your door - Mrs Moustache answers and his written on A5 notes how much he loves her.

I bet you would find that ‘really nice’

He was trying to explain that he loved her, which is why he was so cold with her, but nothing could or would ever happen, because of his friendship with her husband. So, yes if a mate of mine did that I’d see it as a sign of the strength of our friendship, albeit I’d rather not know about it, for reasons of awkwardness.

I’d kick his head in!
Bang out of order to do that
And her fella seemed a nice chap

I have huge issues with this film and believe it should be cancelled.

- Hardly any persons of colour in the film
- none of the storylines feature LGBTQ+ couples
- someone flies to USA for the sole purpose of picking up American women in a bar. Er hello, carbon footprint much?

It’s a skidmark on our cultural underpants

Is this a joke aimed at that tit Jeremy Vine ?

Hopefully one day I will be in touch with my feminine side enough to watch it.
I can't imagine I will ever be in touch with my feminine side enough to admit that I watched it.

You've watched it at least twice already haven't you, go on, admit it
