Amazon.com:
With no fewer than eight couples vying for our attention, Love Actually is like the Boston Marathon of romantic comedies, and everybody wins. Having mastered the genre as the writer of Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, and Bridget Jones's Diary, it appears that first-time director Richard Curtis is just like his screenplays: He just wants to be loved, and he'll go to absurdly appealing lengths to win our affection. With Love Actually, Curtis orchestrates a minor miracle of romantic choreography, guiding a brilliant cast of stars and newcomers as they careen toward love and holiday cheer in London, among them the Prime Minister (Hugh Grant) who's smitten with his caterer; a widower (Liam Neeson) whose young son nurses the ultimate schoolboy crush; a writer (Colin Firth) who falls for his Portuguese housekeeper; a devoted wife and mother (Emma Thompson) coping with her potentially unfaithful husband (Alan Rickman); and a lovelorn American (Laura Linney) who's desperately attracted to a colleague. There's more--too much more--as Curtis wraps his Christmas gift with enough happy endings to sweeten a dozen other movies. That he pulls it off so entertainingly is undeniably impressive; that he does it so shamelessly suggests that his writing fares better with other, less ingratiating directors. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - This movie is love...
There is a lot going on in `Love Actually'; a whole lot. That is a good thing, for that means that there is more to love, and love I do, for `Love Actually' is kind of like the ultimate romantic comedy. The film revolves around eight couples (not always in the most conventional sense) as they strive for love during the holiday season.
To get into every aspect of this film individually would take too much time and space, plus it would take away from the whole surprise and joyous mystery ... Read More
Rating: - It actually is just about love.
Love Actually is bookends with scenes of people reuniting in airports. The point of these scnes and ultimately the film is that love is all around us. I think the director is making a direct statement of hope and optimism in light of the tragedies of September 11th, which had just recently happened. I suppose all the most reason to place these scenes in airports. The movie is, of course, not about airports. The movies is a collection of stories all about people falling in, falling out or overall just ... Read More
Rating: - Wonderfully entertaining!
Wonderfully casted and brilliant comedy. An incredible ensemble of talent seep through every crevice of this production. Hugh Grant is his normally charming and funny self. This is a wonderful holiday movie and gift for everyone!!!
Rating: - For all romantic women
I love love love this movie. And yes, you can watch it over and over again (unless you can't remember where you stuck your copy). The soundtrack is also incredible and I could listen to it over and over again (if only I could remember where I put it). These are some of the best actors and the story lines are lovely and brilliant.
Rating: - Love Actually - about love, not a love story
Love, Actually is a wonderfully-acted, charming film about the nature of love in all its forms. It's less a "love story" than a look at how we humans treat love, value love, fear love, triumph with love, and live with losses due to love.
Sad, happy, funny, poignant, heart-breaking and elating stuff!
