Side bar:
Everyone gushes over Love Actually being this timeless romantic movie. That movie pisses me off to insane levels.
@cmjh10 Since you are unaware of the film it portrays several different relationships all around Christmas. Everyone thinks it's one of the most romantic movies ever but it drives me nuts.
The "Love Triangle" portion of the movie is maddening. If you actually care about her, then do something about it or shut up. Don't half ass it and leave their relationship up in the air.
The relationship with the Portuguese housekeeper is kind of cute, but communication is one of the most important aspects of a real relationship. It's romantic that they fall in love without it, but also kind of naive.
I absolutely can not stand to see Alan Rickman (RIP) as that contemptuous dill hole. The way he treats his wife makes me want to vomit.
The Hugh Grant portion is actually enjoyable.
While the portion with Sam the drummer boy is cute, that kid is way too serious about a girl for his age.
The Laura Linney portion is just depressing. I guess it's somewhat realistic though
The part with the softcore adult film actors is actually pretty funny.
And I guess the Billy Mack portion is amusing
So 3 out of the 8 stories are worthwhile.
