Enter Love Actually, a film she has raved about for some time and thought would be a good holiday film to curl up to last night.
I'll say this: Of all the films I've seen that strain too hard for significance, have too many underdeveloped storylines jockeying for my fading attention, strand a small army of otherwise good actors in an implausible swamp of cloying schmaltz, and are embarrassingly transparent in their manipulations . . . this is the best one I've seen in the past 72 hours, at least.
I liked it apart from the American woman's story line which just irritated Laura Linny or something.
And whats with the creep with the cards stalking his best friends Mrs!
