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?

YANBU
I don't mind a shit film but Love Actually is a miserable waste of everyone's time.
Does Richard Curtis hate women?

Funny how I thought of Love Actually before even opening the thread! Absolute drivel.

Is that Jezebel article meant to be funny or clever or something?

I thought the Jezebel article was spot on.

Loved the Jezebel article. It's basically my entire opinion on the film from start to finish.

Never seen it, will probably keep it that way

This film is AWFUL. It's horribly sexist and yes you should hate it. All the women are subordinate to the male characters and its just insulting to watch!

Loved the Jezebel article. It's basically my entire opinion on the film from start to finish.

Agreed.

And I'm sorry [not sorry] but I will pass comment on KKs big teeth and jutting jaw if she is going to insist on acting with these rather than the more traditional mode of utilising various facial expressions and voice projection rather than shrill shoutiness.
