MY REVIEW
In today's time there are many Rom-Com movies made each year. Most of them in their effort to make the audience laugh, forget about the story. Love Actually is one the rare multi-starrer Rom-com that doesn't do injustice to the story.



Set during the time of Christmas, the movie follows the life of  8different couples and their situations all centered around love. Love is the main theme of the movie interwoven with laughter, sadness and entertainment.

Seeing the movie you know that a lot of effort has been made in developing the script. 8 stories, each quite unique and distinguished from the others. The situations involve different kinds of love. From the prime minister of UK falling for a girl to a widowed father helping his step son get the love of his life, the film has it all. This movie is a kind of feel good. You just feel like hugging your loved ones after watching such a film.
The story as I said has been written really well with quite the right actors.

The direction is really good as well. Curtis is known for these kind of films. Notting Hill and Mr Bean were some of his works I admire. The fact that this movie has even been written by him shows his immense talent.
The movie has quite a cast. Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Emma Thompson, Liam Neeson, Keira Knightley are some of the many actors in this movie. With such a cast you cant expect to not be  entertained.

This is one of the best Rom-Com movies I have ever seen. Do see this.


MY RATING 8.5/10
