To not understand how it’s only TODAY that I’ve ever watched Love Actually

[Careergoals]

And it was bloody lovely!

I genuinely don’t know how I’ve never seen this despite being 51. In my defence I’m not much of a film lover by DD had heard about it and decided to put it on.

So many big names in it, it was fab.

My heart actually broke for Emma Thompsons character though, what a shit of a man. Wonder if he did sleep with that woman.

I would say you'd done very well to avoid that smug, misogynistic travesty of a film until now!

I love it too. It is my favourite Christmas film.

I am 55. I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing, Top Gun or Love Actually!

Everyone on here hates it, I like it though. Where the fuck's my fucking coat? 😃

I love Love Actually, (but I still haven't seen The Holiday)

This. It's horrendous. BUT if you watch Die Hard immediately afterwards you get to see Alan Rickman (SPOILER ALERT) falling to his death and that almost makes up for his dreadful treatment of Emma Thompson.

It’s one of my favourite films. Expect a lot of nasty comments though - MN hates it.

I love it!

Indeed. It made me cringe.

Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman were the only good thing about that dire film.

But like all of the storylines, it's just a series of misogynistic cliches. Why couldn't Rickman have been the one sobbing about how his wife might be having an affair with an attractive colleague?

I used to love it but good it is awful the more you watch it.

I'm not keen.

There are so many significantly better films.

Try a few of these OP!

Ah I had no idea it was hated on here. I loved it 🙈

I only saw The Holiday last year - now one of my top 3 Christmas films. Loved it.

When you say your DD had heard of it - had you not heard of it before?

Yes I’d heard of it but DD 21 hasn’t until people in her work were talking about it. She wanted to watch it so as I’d never seen it I did too

My sister plays it every Christmas and one year I was at her place and had to sit through it. I was squirming with boredom and distaste bordering on disgust the whole time.

I'm 51 and never seen it 😀

Also never seen Love Actually 😜

You're not missing out on much.

The best Xmas film is Muppet Christmas Carol. The end.

Oh for goodness sake ignore my comment. It was about another film 😂😂😂

Yikes!

Now THAT is worth a watch!
