To say the guy in Love Actually who dumps the woman with the brother is an arse?

You know the one. I mean WTAF? Why even write that?

You have unrequited love for years, you get together, woman has brother with care needs so it's over?

It's a 15. What else were you expecting?

Well exactly, we just thought it was a Christmas film and we're not expecting the porn. That will teach us to check the PG rating.

I’m sorry but if I had 2003 Rodrigo Santoro on my bed in his boxers ready to give me a good time, my brother could be on fire and I wouldn’t pick up the phone.
but then I don’t like my brother very much

Going to blow your mind that some people’s jobs revolve around critiquing films. I’m sure you invest your time in something or someone that others would deem a pile of shite.

I'm one of those people who's job revolves around critiquing films (and music and games and other facets of pop culture) and it's not a bad job at that 😂

Very envious. Fancy a job swap and you can be a childrens social worker for a bit? 😬

Same 😂😂

I watched it again recently, feeling like something light and Christmassy. Other than the opening scene, the gorgeous Liam, and Emma T, I can't see any redeeming features. The amount of tacit dislike towards women, and weird attitudes towards consent and what should be appropriate boundaries, are quite staggering. It was too uncomfortable to keep watching.

Not sure if anyone's shared this review yet but it's a few years old and every year me and my friend share and read it to wind ourselves up about this bloody film that I love to hate watch.

Ah the Jezebel review. Can always rely on that to appear.

Is it even Christmas if the Jezebel article isn't linked!
