Love Actually | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Radheyan Simonpillai CBC Radio A cringe 10 for the price of one bulk holiday sale of the most well-worn rom-com tropes. Dec 11, 2023 Full Review Love Actually | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Scott Tobias AV Club Love Actually provides enough happy endings to make the audience forget that romance and Christmas miracles don't always work out. Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Love Actually | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Christopher Orr The Atlantic The tagline for Love Actually is "The Ultimate Romantic Comedy." Perhaps. But not in the sense the producers intended. Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Love Actually | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Stephanie Archer Film Inquiry Set to the backdrop of Christmas, Love Actually finds believability in the unbelievable, crafting an environment where anything can happen and the greatest risks should be taken. Jan 12, 2024 Full Review Love Actually | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand The film is all but stolen... by Bill Nighy as a washed up rock star goofing his way through his holiday TV and radio appearances as his seasonal song climbs the charts. Jan 6, 2024 Full Review Love Actually | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness ... Curtis and company remind us that love, actually, is everywhere no matter the time of year, period, or place. That’s what helps make it a staple watch this and any other time of year.

T This always gives me good feels! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/04/22 Full Review Susan R Love everything about it except the p*rn filming scenes.. never understood why that was necessary. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/07/22 Full Review Angel One of the best feel good movies ever! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/14/21 Full Review Tal One of my Wifes favorite movies! I wish yall would play these films more than twice a week. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/14/21 Full Review Brian A favorite of my wife and myself, never tire of seeing it! absolutely fantastic! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/14/21 Full Review L. N Possibly the most syrupy, written-on-the-back-of-a-beermat scripts in the history of cinema. Cringe-worthy dialogue delivered from some of the greatest actors of our time (and why they agreed to it is a mystery to me. Did they read the script before they signed up?). Why and how did Richard Curtis become a writer working for an audience that is the least discerning group possible? Contrived, saccharine, soft, simplistic and just plain painful. Makes Notting Hill look scalpel sharp by comparison. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review Read all reviews

This means every last review from critics was positive.
