Love Actually movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: From top to bottom, Love Actually is a sparkler. Read more
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: [Curtis] is nothing if not capable of creating merry, madcap romantic comedy, and he punctuates the purposely hackneyed developments and labyrinthian structure with sly wit and sprightly pacing. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: ... a terrific film. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: It's no hardship whatsoever to sit through Love Actually ... But if Curtis could have sharpened his focus, and trusted his actors a bit more, Love Actually could have been splendid. Read more
Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune: Individually, the tales wouldn't stand up as short stories. Together, they make for sporadically amusing, ultimately wearying viewing. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: A patchwork of contrived naughtiness and forced pathos. Read more
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader: This is cloying, deceitful, and more or less irresistible. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: As bright and cheery as a string of Christmas lights. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Love Actually will delight moviegoers who think that more really is more. Cynics who prefer their twee without sugar are advised to look elsewhere. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: Though it would be dishonest to call this an unqualified success, it would be churlish not to tip the hat to Love Actually's genuine charm. Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: Curtis shows the same eccentric humanism and charm that gave him Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: Love Actually won't last you. Still, while you're enjoying it: Yummy. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: It's going to make a lot of holiday romantics feel very, very good; watching it, I felt cozy and charmed myself. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: The creators of Love Actually clearly believe that if a movie has enough charm, it doesn't need depth. In the case of Love Actually, they are absolutely right. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: If you're going to have your emotional responses shunted around like a gear stick, it might as well be by someone who writes dialogue as funny as Curtis does. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: Love Actually is to the romantic-comedy genre what a Sherman tank is to sport- utility vehicles. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: A highly engineered puffball. Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: Yet another pandering, half-baked romantic comedy. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: Curtis throws every gag he can think of at the screen and the ones that don't stick, he throws again and again. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: This movie is so unfunny, uninspired and unoriginal I swear it could have started out as a club-footed Coen Brothers vehicle for George Clooney. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie until, in the end, it went somewhat bonkers with what amounted to a communal love fest on Christmas Eve. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: It's too busy with too many stories to tell. But there's so much heart and silly fun and genuine sentiment here, delivered by an A-list of Brit and American talent that it's hard to fault. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: There are times when all of this goodwill feels a tad forced and artificial, but, on balance, Love Actually is appealing and genial with plenty of solid laughs, and worthy of a recommendation for those who appreciate this kind of thing. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs, until at times Curtis seems to be working from a checklist of obligatory movie love situations and doesn't want to leave anything out. Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: There are no fewer than nine interlocking and overlapping love stories in Richard Curtis' deadly epic sprawl of a romantic comedy, Love Actually. By the end of the movie, that's nine too many. Read more
Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle: Love Actually , Curtis' holiday-themed directing debut, abandons any pretext of sophistication for gloppy sentimentality, sugary pop songs and bawdy humor -- an approach that works about half the time. Read more
David Edelstein, Slate: It's terrific fun for an hour, but by the last of its 129 minutes you might find yourself going into insulin shock. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: A warm, benevolent comedy whose characters gradually become your dear friends. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: It pushes its 'love is good' message with such insistence, so many cheery pop tunes, airport hugs, coincidences and teary smiles, that it feels like one long commercial. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: A form of emotional hardcore. Read more
Todd McCarthy, Variety: A roundly entertaining romantic comedy, Love Actually is still nearly as cloying as it is funny. Read more
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice: When he isn't overreaching for absurdity, Curtis can write bouncy patter, but each character gets about 60 seconds before the movie jumps deck to the next love-seeker and the next moony pratfall. Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: If listing the cast of Love Actually is exhausting, it's even more tiring to watch it. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: There's enough that's right about Love to compensate for what's wrong with it. Read more
