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

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.

Wonder if he did sleep with that woman.

Emma Freud confirmed a few years back that he did, I'm afraid. She's wearing The Necklace when Hugh Grant is travelling through Wandsworth, which I think we were meant to take as confirmation.

Yes, and doesnt she swirm about in just knickers and bra and open the door to Hugh grant in said pants and bra, saying you're not who I think you are, are you?

Hate the Joanna Page toplesss scenes, so uneccesary. I know it was a different time but they really jar in this film.

Yeah, utterly pointless and cringe and I would hate kids to see that

Creep and the slut in the office and buying her the jewellery rather than his wife.

All that sanctimonious judgement and you think the use of “slut” is acceptable?

Well, her role is to seduce an already married man. And opening her legs and acting horny, dancing and grinding against him at the office Christmas party saying its all for you sir, is that not slutty and him a creep?

She may be perfectly nice in real life but the role is to portray a horny woman wanting to sleep with a married man. It's facts.

I will never not be bothered by the Laura Linney storyline... every time I see it I get frustrated. She could have/he could have/the staff at the facility could have... urgh!! So annoying and yes, so sad.

This just reminded me I meant to watch it today.i always feel heart broken for Emma Thompsons character too, and agree his is very much a shit of a man.

There are so many things wrong with this movie.

The chap obsessed with his mates wife. And the fact she kisses him while her husband is upstairs and she lies its Carol singers

The two people pretending to have sex om every scene is just so cringe. And frankly gross.

The other young lad obsessed with going to America to have sex with other women.

Creep and the slut in the office and buying her the jewellery rather than his wife.

Calling the lady with dark hair fat, chubby and huge thighs when frankly she's gorgeous and curvy and not a bit fat is VILE.

The fact is a 12 is a rubbish rating too. Definitely should have been an 18.

All of this. Plus it's not funny

Awful film. Still disgusted that Keira Knightly was cast as a young wife while she was still underage, and in such a creepy grim storyline (husbands supposed best friend in love with her) 🤮🤮🤮🤮

I agree it's a Mumsnet 'thing' to hate it but I love it!

I hope you've seen The Holiday...if not, watch that too.

I love LA , watched it with DD ( adult) on Dec 1st as she hadn;t seen it all the way through for years .

"Eight IS a lot of legs , David" is one of her favourite quotes .

Love Hugh Grant , his dancing scene is the best bit ( also watched Heretic last week , Hugh Grant has still got it )

Didn;t like The Holiday , cannot abide Jack Black trying to do a cute "who me , shucks" face .
I have reached the age of 58 before I saw it and I could happily go another 58 before I see it again.

They ( Amanda and Graham) met , slept together twice , DTD once then she met his daughters in the space of two weeks . All the Red Flags Flying there Shock
