Love Actually Review

 

Love Actually Review

Love Actually is a classic christmas movie that is set in england. It resolves around different stories of each character going through there only holiday story. One story is about Liam Neeson's character whose wife died and he's taking care of his step son, one is about Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson who are a married couple until one of Alan's workers wants to an affair with him, and you got other storylines about romance and you got Mr. Bean who many people believe is an angel helping everyone. 

Now the plot focuses on each character's own story and most of these characters do know each other and some don't. My favourite plots are these three are my favourite storylines. 

Daniel and Sam.

Daniel is a guy who lost his wife and now he has to care for his step son. I like this segement it shows Daniel stepping up and being a father to Sam and Sam is mourning his mom but he's the drummer of school play and he's in love with the lead singer. In the end, he gives his step son the courage to tell her how he feels which leads to a good airport scene.

This storyline is well written and you really feel for these two after losing a love one around the holidays. It's a good father and son storyline. 

Harry, Karen and Mia.

Now this segement stars the late Alan Rickman and man I do I miss that guy and it's funny he's playing a guy named Harry. In this storyline Harry is the manger of a designer company and he is a married man with two kids. However, his secretary wants to have an affair with him and he's notices it but his wife doesn't. Now one of the funniest scenes is Harry goes to buy a necklace for Mia and that's when we meet Rufus played by Mr. Bean and that scene is funny until he buys and his wife thinks its for her but its not as she gets Joni Mitchell cd. Later she confronts him about it and he tells he feels bad about it and that he was wrong to do it. Now in the end of their story Harry happyily hugs his children and Karen and him seem to be okay but it was later revealed by the director that Harry did end up having an affair with Mia. So yeah but overall this is a good story that ends bitter sweet. In honestly the secertary does deserve more of the blame she wanted to have an affair didn't care if he was married. 

Colin and Tony 

Now Colin and Tony's story is these two guys are trying to get girlfriends but they are unsucessful. Until Colin goes to the USA and he meets some ladies and they come back to England with them and Colin gets a date. I know its the weakest of the stories but I really love storyline it's funny. The other storylines were great too. 

The rest of the storylines are well written and this is a great christmas film to watch. I give it a 7 out of 10. 

Merry Christmas 

to all my viewers!
