To hate a much loved film with so much passion

[splendidisolation]

I hate the fucking annoying, saccharine voiceover at the opening airport scene
I hate Emma Thompsons irritating character and hammy acting
I hate Hugh Grants insistence on playing himself
I hate how we're supposed to find Martines character so salt of the earth and endearing- shes fucking annoying
I hate the Liam Neeson storyline and his weird relationship with his weird woolly haired kid who should be getting a life
Im left unmoved by Laura Linney
I absolutely cannt stand Keira Knightleys faux coy girlish smile and that entire weird stalker relationship
I can just about stomach Mr Darcy and his Portuguese squeeze...JUST ABOUT
Bill Nighy - once you've seen the song performed once you're like...whatever...zzzzzz

I find the whole film absolutely sick making and toe curling and yet every Christmas DM forces us to watch it.

AIBU?

Man JAW bloody typo

As soon as I read the title I thought of Love Actually. Don't get it at all.

Agree with you. It's one of Richard Curtis's worst films. Give Four Weddings and Notting Hill any day.

Emma T is OK in it, one of the few good performances.
Hugh Grant is Hugh Grant.
Martine McCutcheon is unnecessarily vulgar and self-consciously sweary.
Liam Neeson is wasted.
Laura Linney is ridiculous. She must have needed the money.
Keira K. is just plain awful in everything! Those pouty lips give me the pip.

Stoat The Shawshank Redemption is my all time favourite film.

Lala Land is a fucking awful self congratulatory wank

I love it.
It’s a lovely, romantic film, you don’t have to concentrate much and it makes me feel happy.

Ahhh I have found my people!!

Love Actually gives me the rage.

Unashamedly love it. Emma Thompson's agony at discovering her husband is cheating on her makes me sob every time I watch it.
However, just to throw my own controversial cap in the ring, I hate the following:
Dirty Dancing
Pretty Woman - 'cause you'd soooo fall in love with a man who pays for hookers
Titanic - spoiler alert: the ship sinks
Twilight - Emo twinkly vampires

The Sound of Music is wonderful. I cry very easily but even for me that film has remarkable powers. I start weeping quietly at the opening credits and don't really stop till it's over.

Gasp, you are not alone. Years ago, when they started showing the extended version of the movie on tv, I’d tear up as the camera focussed on the babbling brook you see well before Maria comes on screen.

I do have a huge problem with Truly Madly Deeply. Simpering hammy acting Awful

I've never seen it either. Is there snow? There's always snow.

It always snows in movie London at Christmas don’t you know!

I love “ Love Actually “ & we watch it every Christmas Eve. “ The Sound of Music” is one of my favourite films

What I really hated in LA was the kid who got to choose his animal for The Nativity play and he chose a lobster or octopus or whatever. All for the cheap visual laugh of HG sitting in the back of the car with him.

Also, how were the porn-standins connected to the other characters?

For Sound of Music lovers.

I can’t stand Love Actually, terrible film

Can I add

Grease
Dirty Dancing
Any Toy Story film
Each and every “Romantic Comedy” film ever made

The term “RomCom” gives me The Rage

oj its about differnt types if love i think its clever

but we all cant like the same thing

i cant stand avatar-theyre blue-and?

@andylion they knew the cameraman who was colins friend the one who goes to america

It's a pile of Shite ! Hate it

I am indifferent to LA but v.v.v.v.v. pleased to see hatred for Dirty Dancng on this thread I cannot STAND that film -- not envy!

Thanks, Gabs.

Does anyone know if the cut storylines are a DVD somewhere? Not that I’d buy it, just wondering.

La la Land, couldn’t finish it. Didn’t care and I like both RG and ES.

I loathe Mamma Mia.

It's also Keira Knightleys annoying pout face she pulls in every single movie.......

I have to also add Titanic, and Romeo & Juliet
Hate those movies (I know not Christmas ones )
But I absolutely HATE both movies and there are lots of other movies that people somehow love, that I also hate............

You are right, it's shite - as is Bridget Jones diaries, 4 weddings and a funeral, and all those Too Smuggy Smug Smug movies, full of overeducated, undertalented, wet, sappy, smug, people. Bridget Jones' Diary was one of the funniest books I'd ever read, but the Bridget of the books was funny, feisty, smart, and devil may care, not the sappy soggy version we got in the movie. Kate Winslett was the best Bridget Jones we never had.
