Love Actually (2003)
8/10
A movie as great, unbelievable and corny as love, actually!
5 February 2008
Well, first to all who find this movie unrealistic...it is! It is as unrealistic as two grown humans (knowing the statistical rate of failed marriages, the average divorce costs, the trouble coming with living together...) falling in love with each other.

That said, I may continue. This movie shows us that love is all around us. And this message it delivers loud and clear. I will not analyze each of the many plot lines, I will just say, that each contains one or several aspects of love. Though some may be corny and exaggerating, you have to admit that each contains a bit of truth. I for myself can give you examples for each and every scene from around my circle of friends. One plot line in particular is the one concerning Karen (Emma Thompspn) and Harry (Alan Rickman). Many find that this episode only shows the effects of getting your love broken, but it shows too: the love of a friend (Karen to Daniel after his wife's funeral), the love of a mother (the deleted scene with the "Horrible Bernard"), the love of a sister (to the Prime Minister).

A great movie with great acting, though as a German viewer, I didn't know many actors before this movie.The actors really carry the movie, and I believe that they all had a great time on the set.

This movie is a real uplifting experience, which should be shared by all. Watch it in company of your friends, watch it with your beloved, watch it alone ....but watch it!
