To not like Love Actually.

tallsmallmum · 17/12/2023 13:04

yeah it's rubbish 👊🏽

baileybrosbuildingandloan · 17/12/2023 13:05

And?
I loathe Dirty Dancing and Pretty Woman but don't feel that I need to tell people.
We're all different.

FictionalCharacter · 17/12/2023 13:05

I thought I was the only one! Yes I really hated that film.
(I hate Four Weddings too, always thought I was the only woman in the known universe who didn’t like it!)

AlwaysForksAndMarbles · 17/12/2023 13:05

There are lots of things I don’t like: toffee apples, racism, standing in dog muck, football… the list is very long. It includes lots of films. I always imagine that everyone else in the world has a similar list. People are different and like different stuff. Is that news to you?

YANBU and this stopped being a hot take about 300 years ago.

KnittedCardi · 17/12/2023 13:05

You have no soul 😂

EmmaGrundyForPM · 17/12/2023 13:06

it's absolute dross. The Emma Thompson/Alan Rickman storyline is well acted, but the rest of it is shit.

HappyHamsters · 17/12/2023 13:08

Yeah it's rubbish and totally over acted except Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson characters

Precipice · 17/12/2023 13:09

Then don't watch it? Unless someone in your house is constantly watching it, there seems to be little reason to spend time thinking about it. I've never seen it and have no plans to.

It’s terrible! Hate it and don’t get the appeal at all.

ChanelNo19EDT · 17/12/2023 13:09

Have you seen that tiktok @OrangeWoolCardiWrap a guy who is supposedly watching love actually and talking to somebody off camera. He has a romantic expression and is saying "awŵww the priminister is trying to sleep with one of the women who works for him, after calling her fat, awŵw" and he sums up each "romance" in the film in the same way, and they're all inappropriate!

Kimmeridge · 17/12/2023 13:10

Is this a thing now. Start a thresd announcing something you don't like. No reasoning no discussion just 'I don't like'

Does it matter?

Priminister???

MrsJellybee · 17/12/2023 13:15

It’s utterly toxic. The Kiera Knightly / Andrew Lincoln storyline is horrific.

Never liked that Bridget Jones thing either.

Sounds good to me.

Daftolive · 17/12/2023 13:17

I’ve never seen it.

ImFineThankYouSusan · 17/12/2023 13:20

I know it's shit but I can't help but hate watch it once a year while I am wrapping presents.

Barmecide · 17/12/2023 13:21

This comes up literally every year, and this year there’s already a lengthy thread about it.

No, of course you’re not being unreasonable. It’s execrable, misogynist dreck.

Look up the well-known Jezebel article if you haven’t already.

CheerfulBunny · 17/12/2023 13:21

Nope, you're not alone but it's one of those films everyone says they love. I've always been a contrary bugger - I can't stand Notting Hill either. Hugh Grant is alright but his horrible, braying Hooray Henry mates in it.. groo!
(I didn't think much of Elf tbh, but I realise I'm very much in a minority there. I'll get my coat)

QueenMegan · 17/12/2023 13:37

Anything that shows normal.people living in Belgravia Posh boy slumming it with a pretty poor girl. Fuck Cinderella she should have worn trainers
We dont need rescuing

tennesseewhiskey1 · 17/12/2023 13:39

Don’t watch it then.

toastofthetown · 17/12/2023 13:47

Why would disliking a piece of media be unreasonable. There are plenty of films I don’t like. I don’t assume a group of strangers care on the other hand.

Why do people say this. 'I thought I was the only one who hated X'

Do people genuinely think they're the only one to dislike some mainstream film?
