**Maz** · 26/12/2006, 2:46 PM

Went to see it when it was in the cinema...pile of crap! I hated it, couldnt watch it again

**holidaysong** · 26/12/2006, 4:08 PM

I have seen it 4 times in 2006. I think it's a great film. I don't know how anyone could not like it! Heartless..

**theleprechaun** · 26/12/2006, 7:33 PM

can safely say that the first 20 minutes were some of the worst minutes of my life. i didn't suffer any more of it other than the first 20 minutes

Ya, watched it with the missus but I got a little confused midway through (I had a few festive Baileys insde me so I can blame them!!!) but I got back on track. I laughed out loud when I saw the two porn stars trying to chat each other up.

whats next up for discussion...........the great movies of Matt damon....the good books written by celia a hearn, or the good songs that are sung (bawled) out by c dion!

I know and appreciate Bill Hicks, but still like the above movies. Is there something wrong with me?

**Drumcondra Red** · 28/12/2006, 11:01 AM

Ah yes the age old arguement of "sure if you like these movies you clearly don't appriciate classic comedy/ movies etc..." Just because people enjoy something you don't doesn't make it wrong, I ****ing hate people with that mentality, its the same with music, what harm if people like stuff you don't??? Have a laugh about it don't be coming on here making out you're somehow better then others because you didn't have a chuckle and enjoy a film!!!!

bennocelt, it wasn't your taste I had the problem with, it was the language used to tell us you don't like Love Actually.

Seen it in the cinema and thought it was OK. Hugh Grant's always watchable, as is Martin Freeman. Bonus of Eliza Cuthbert at the end too. Wouldn't watch it again.

Like Drumcondra Red I can't understand people who get angry about people's tastes in music, films etc

**drinkfeckarse** · 28/12/2006, 12:20 PM

Decent enough film. Grant is always good in that type of role. Actually, has he ever played any other role that that of a kind of geeky upper class Englishman??

There is no emoticon to represent the dismay I feel at reading that statement.

as regards a good movie, did any of ye guys see that brazil movie last nith on C4 ..........City of God.......now thats a good movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**jebus** · 29/12/2006, 1:11 PM

Really don't understand people's reactions to movies like this. I mean my favourite movies of all time ranks Love Liza, Little Miss Sunshine, City of God, Bladerunner, Thin Red Line, Duck Soup, Withnail & I, and Cinema Paradiso amongst others, but I also enjoy no brainer popcorn movies like Love Actually, Superman Returns, Deja Vu, Saving Private Ryan, About a Boy etc. I'm not saying that movies like Love Actually, About a Boy, Deja Vu and the like will change the world, but as two hours of escapism they do the trick nicely.

And personally I thought that Laura Linney and Emma Thompson's respective characters in Love Actually told great stories, and were played brilliantly by the two actresses mentioned

**Dodge** · 29/12/2006, 1:29 PM

Parts of it were good but it was a bit of a mess overall. Tried to do too much IMO.

He played a great role in Jackie Brown or was that Divine Brown
