However, once it gets into a groove, Love Actually is actually an entertaining movie.....That lengthy roster includes an aging rock star (a hilarious Bill Nighy), a cheesy writer (Colin Firth), a widower (Liam Neeson) and his stepson (Thomas Sangster), and a designer (Laura Linney) with an office crush.....The Picture Christmas may create a nice backdrop for love....The DTS-HD Master Audio track projects dialogue and music very well.....he pulled out the stops and the Rolodex, calling in every top British a ...

It's a very moving movie indeed.....Surprisingly enough, it is very concise and just real enough to make it a very good motion picture (not just a run of the mill romantic comedy).....Subtle yet powerful, Thompson makes you feel for her character....What is marvelous about her story is....all include incredible actors..... ...

DVD Talk
A sort of highly politicized riff on Lost In Translation , The Girl in the Cafe is admirable in its intention; Curtis's attempts at fusing his trademark witty characters with an urgent call to affect change doesn't wholly succeed, in part because when Gina ceases to be a person and becomes a mouthpiece for the screenwriter's views on global debt relief, it saps the film of its low-key, quietly effective charm. ...

Love Actually" is charming, warm, and delightful enough to make any Lifetime Channel fan ecstatic with joy while scampering for a box Kleenex. With as many somber points the film makes, its overall strengths are also its biggest weaknesses. ... Full Review

Hollywood Report Card
Otherwise, the film swings sometimes abruptly from light-hearted to broken-hearted serious -- averaging itself out with lows and highs in both drama and humor. With not much time to actually get to know the characters, excellent actors come to the call, and in fact, most do a find job there. ... Full Review
