Love Actually - yes or no?

[WarmSausageTea]

I fancy watching something festive, and I’m wondering about watching LA. I saw it 10+ years ago, and wasn’t keen, but I have had gin and am feeling quite chilled.

So, LA, yes or no? And if no, can I have some cheesy Christmas film recs, please? (I loved Last Christmas and the three Netflix prince films.)

Thanks.

Yes! But prefer the Holiday!

Yes, love it and so much that my daughter is called ...

Love Actually is a great film! Really heartwarming and Christmassy ♥️

The best film ever. Makes me appreciate how love is actually everywhere , friends, family colleagues. A few cheesy bits to it but forgivable

I love it apart from the Juliett/Keira & Mark/Andrew scene with words written on a board with CD player, it is so stupid. The rest I love.

It’s not Christmas without tearing apart everything that’s wrong with Love Actually. It’s a terrible film but my favourite Christmas tradition has become shouting “NO SHE DOES NOT HAVE A PRETTY SIZEABLE ARSE” at the telly.

Yes! watch it! im still angry at alan rickman though

Awful sexist cringeworthy film. Martine's wooden performance sets my teeth on edge. Far better film are:

The Family Stone
The Family Man
Christmas with the Kranks

I used to watch Love Actually every Christmas but then I saw how horrible it really was. All the comments about how fat Natalie is. The boring scenes with Martin Freeman. It's just aged so badly. I can't watch it anymore.

I hate LA and the Holiday.

I love Last Holiday, because I'm obsessed with Queen Latifah. It is warm, cosy, silly and romantic. In fact I'm going to watch it tonight.

Love it. I haven't watched in a while though as I've seen it too many times.

A Christmas Story. Funny.

Love Actually is so bad it makes Elf look like Citizen Kane.

DS has a thing for the first Christmas Chronicles film, which has Kurt Russell as Santa — the second one is terrible, mostly because Goldie Hawn as Mrs Claus can’t move her face.

Otherwise, the traditional ones — Its a Wonderful Life, Die Hard, Muppet Christmas Carol, Trading Places, Meet Me in St Louis.

That Jezebel article is HILARIOUS

The irony of pp hating on Love Actually but admitting they love The Holiday - a movie about two pathetic women getting saved by Jude Law and Jack Black

I love Love, Actually, my favourite Christmas film. It's really not that deep.

Favourites are Bill Nighy and Rowan Atkinson, the Selfridges scene makes me howl time (despite who the gift is being bought for).

I didn't like it but when it was released, my first long term relationship had ended quite nastily so I think I was feeling very cynical about love!! It might be time to give it another chance.

It’s my favourite. I have a t-shirt.

I love Love Actually. Also Elf. And still love those American animated TV shows from the 50s and 60s (Rudolf the Red nosed Reindeer, Santa Claus is coming to Town, Charlie Brown Christmas...). Home Alone, Scrooged, Christmas Chronicles...

I like it too although it is quite old now and hasn't dated very well. But was of it's time.

Does Emma's character forgive her husband then? I'd forgotten that bit if so.

I can't bear the Holiday!

Never watched it, but know enough about it to know I have no desire to.

Yes. And I refuse to be embarrassed about it

I have tried to watch it three times over the years and turned off within 15 mins. Its far too over the top cheesy for me. No.

Bloody Awful

Love Actually is fab! We watch it every year & it’s so heartwarming. Don’t understand why people diss it!

I absolutely love this film. I watched it again today. It has funny scenes and also sad ones which is why I like it so much. I love all the different storylines and how they all come together.
