Love Actually is the best romantic comedy movie all around. You wouldn't get bored watching it a thousand times. It tells the story of so many people that in the end we could see are actually all connected to each other. It is a unique movie that tells about various people's story, all based on their love lives. It shows that love can be bitter for a wife who found her husband cheating behind her back but decided to move on and let it go, it can be sweet for a lonely writer who fell in love with a Portuguese woman who worked for her and having trouble to even communicate with, it can be funny for the British Prime Minister who had a crush on his own maid, and could also be touching for a guy who had to let his love of his life get married with his own best friend. All stories tell about love, and it shows that love could be so complicated and indescribable at times. It could drive people crazy, make people do stupid things, and cause various types of emotions, but bottomline, the simple message they wish to deliver is that if you look hard enough, you will find that love actually is all around.

Love Actually is the simplest, wittiest, and most down-to-earth comedy romantic movie. It doesn't offer you fairy tale-like stories that wouldn't happen in a million years, or exaggerated stuffs that will eventually bore you halfway through the show. It is honest, it is smart, and it is true.

Rating: 5/5 Stars
