Critics Consensus

A sugary tale overstuffed with too many stories. Still, the cast charms.

A cringe 10 for the price of one bulk holiday sale of the most well-worn rom-com tropes.

AV Club

Love Actually provides enough happy endings to make the audience forget that romance and Christmas miracles don't always work out.

The tagline for Love Actually is "The Ultimate Romantic Comedy." Perhaps. But not in the sense the producers intended.

The ensemble nature of Love Actually has always drawn audiences into the festivities. Of course, that also means some narratives work and others do not.

Rated: 4/10

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.

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.

A holiday classic offering the perfect blend of sentiment and humor from a stellar ensemble cast. Even better seeing it in the theaters again this holiday season.
