More Actually

I went over to my parents for dinner and to watch Matrix Reloaded with Dad before we see the final installment later today. I’m still a little confused by the whole plot, but it took six viewings of the first one before I finally got it.

Anyway, Mom and I discussed Love Actually a little more - it still sucks. Simply awful. Really.

But we agreed there were some bright spots and there were several places where we laughed out loud - mostly the scenes with Hugh Grant, the scenes with Colin Firth were very sweet, Emma Thompson is just brilliant. That’s why it was so disappointing, because the rest of the movie was like some bad Cinemax soft core pr()n in some places.

***MORE SPOILERS FOLLOW IN THE MORE SECTION***

UPDATE: Movie Mom gave it an A. *ARGH* There’s no accounting for taste, I suppose. The one quote that alarmed me a little:

    Families who see this movie should talk about how the characters handle their feelings of loss, longing, and fear.
Yeah, “families” who see this movie should not include children under the age of 17 because it’s rated R - for good reason.
    Families who enjoy this movie will also enjoy the other Curtis movies as well as classic romantic comedies with more emphasis on romance than comedy like Moonstruck, Roman Holiday, and The Philadelphia Story.
I’m horrified that this crap was compared to those classics. Ick. Stick with Four Weddings... and Notting Hill if you have to see another Curtis movie.
