Love Actually (2003)

When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none. However I was pleasantly surprised to note that the reference was very minor and not particularly cringe worthy either so I am not quite sure why it annoyed some people so much. A lot of the reviews here have disparaged the movie because they thought it was too glib about love and very unrealistic. Daniel is uncertain how to deal with Sam and his problems without his wife present, especially in light of a potential budding romance within their household. But I think you have to accept that the movie was made to make people laugh and bring the spirit of love into the Christmas holiday period. Daniel's wife has just passed away, leaving him to take care of his adolescent stepson Sam by himself. » Like most guys I would never have seen this movie on my own or with male friends.

As regards to the movie overall I quite enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it as an ideal date film. Jamie, a writer, is taking a writing retreat by himself in rural France. I actually felt like standing up and cheering when Hugh Grant as the Prime Minister finally tells the American president to his face and in front of the worlds press that Britain will no longer kowtow to American wishes but will have an independent view of its own. Benjamin Barry is an advertising executive and ladies' man who, to win a big campaign, bets that he can make a woman fall in love with him in 10 days. Often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. However for me the best moment in the film was the press conference given standing side by side by the American president and the British Prime Minister. Juliet and Peter have just gotten married.

It seems to me that love is everywhere. If you watch the film in that context then it does its job admirably well. As Richard Curtis must have known the movie had done okay but not great in the States. . So Bravo Richard Curtis for standing up for your principals; you are a hero! Others looking at the situation from the outside believe Mark is jealous of Juliet as he is in love with Peter himself.

They believe that Peter's best friend and best man Mark hates Juliet but won't say so to his or her face. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. However my girlfriend was in town and I thought a romantic comedy would make an ideal movie for us to see together. . . . .
