I HATE it. The characters are psychopaths.

It’s incredibly Richard Curtis with all the good and bad that entails. Some of the stories are ok, and I would’ve like to have seen more about them (usually the ones featuring the better actors - Alan Rickman, Bill Nighy etc), but he just tries to do too much and it’s very, very cloying and sickly sentimental by the end.

Never seen it ... just bits in the usual clips and trailers ... this promoted me to say ... No its not for me.

Yet a question asked in Friday nights quiz about "which song was the Prime Minister played by Hugh Grant dancing around his office to in Love Actually" and although we have never seen the film we got the answer right ... "Jump" by Girls Aloud ... must have heard it before or seen the clip and somehow it stuck.

It’s a moderate slice of harmless Richard Curtis film hell . Though “ 4 weddings” was a passable effort .While he’s made some horrendous sickly over sentimental guff , he has a pardon in perpetuity for his co writing of Blackadder .

Cannot abide Richard Curtis films. Full of the same old luvvies, inhabiting Jamie Oliverland. Sickly sentimentality with a counterpoint of gratuitous use of the “f” word throughout.
