To not like Love Actually.

[OrangeWoolCardiWrap]

Never liked it. Never will.

Lots of people don't like it, big deal

I'm not a fan of it either

A film about workplace sexual harassment, cheating on spouses and male entitlement to the affections of a female just because they have chosen them. YANBU. Richard Curtis is a nob, actually.

Would you say 'Don't read it then' about Mein Kampf?

Well. This has triggered a lot of people.

I don't think people are triggered. But a thread about not liking Love Actually is one of the most predictable Christmas threads on MN. Maybe in between a thread about hating Christmas Eve boxes and another about not wanting to attend a work Christmas party.

All Richard Curtis films are cringey.

Avatar was overrated too.

I liked a couple of love stories featured. Emma Thompson/Alan Rickman and the woman and her beritger (she was in love with Karl). The rest, no.

The pornography couple, as the reality would have been starkly, horribly different. Not cosy and sweet as depicted.

Andrew Lincoln's story was quite creepy.

The rest is probably just a bit rubbish and in places inappropriate now.

I picked YABU.

1. Because I like the film.

2. Because I don't care that you don't.

The 'it hasn't aged well' brigade' make me like 🙄 YAWWWWWWWWWN!

Now that I can agree with. I saw it in 3D at the cinema when it came out in 2009, and the 3D special effects were AMAZING. You were totally immersed in it. BUT, the story was average and it was three quarters of an hour too long.

WTF are you on about? Do you know what people being 'triggered' even means?

Love it personally. Lots of horrible storylines that aren’t very PC so don’t fit today but I still love it nevertheless. It’s super cheesy, just as Christmas should be.

*that should have read woman and her brother! I've no idea why it was autocorrected to beritger.

🙄

Loved it for years but have gone off it in recent years.

Love it! Can see it hasn’t aged well but I don’t want to think that deeply about it and just see it as a cheesy Christmas film

Yep, it does every year. What ever you do don't make any negative comments about Alan Rickman 😅

Woo hoo another Love Actually is Shit thread. Now it's Christmas!

I don't like Maltesers.

I saw that TikTok this very morning!

Kind of ruined it for me 😭 I like the film and watch it every few years. He is right tho on all points!

You sort of just did...

Good lord. I didn’t literally mean only one. This is just a lighthearted chat thread, not an academic debate, as far as I’m aware.
