Those of you who would ever pay your weight in gold for just a pinch of a good mood, I invite you all to pre-Christmas London. I have seen this so many times and I can recite the lines by heart, and still Richard Curtis manages to carry me away, never to return. In Love Actually, there is everything, and so naturally there might be something that might not appeal to you. However, there is also so much amazingness in it that when I add up the bashful Hugh Grant and Colin Firth, the triumphant Bill Nighy, the unforgettable Keira Knightley, the discreet angel Rowan Atkinson, or the few seconds of a magical cameo by Elisha Cuthbert, there is too much perfection in one movie. The best romantic comedy and one of my top 10.

In every genre category, I have a film that comes close to or equals the ideal - simply a perfect movie. Among romantic comedies, this spot is taken by Love Actually, and it's worth noting that it won with ease. Sure, a nitpicker could argue that the screenwriter didn't concern themselves too much with logic - but since when is love logical? Top-notch casting, plenty of funny moments, and an amazingly positive atmosphere. The perfect film for a romantic evening for two. Overall impression: 100%.

An icon of the romantic comedy genre, set in beautiful England at one of the most wonderful times of the year, Christmas. An absolutely superb all-star cast (I won't name names because I would leave someone out), a well-done interweaving of the various stories, and an amazing soundtrack. When you watch this movie, it's like eating the most delicious dessert ever.

After the third viewing I can say for sure that this film is simply perfect, both touching and funny, non-violent, unobtrusive and made with such love that the adjective heavenly is not nearly enough. It's exactly one of those amazing films that I'm fan of here on FilmBooster and that is guaranteed to lift my spirits anytime, anywhere with its Christmas atmosphere and a plethora of familiar faces. Whether it's Bill Nighy and his quirky rocker, the modest and cheerful Prime Minister Hugh Grant, the head-over-heels in love and shy Laura Linney or the traditionally magnificent crown in the form of Rowan Atkinson’s salesman, all of them and many others instantly grow close to the heart and for two hours become such a part of it that they leave a lasting impression. But the one who excels the most is Curtis, the director. All the stories are perfectly intertwined and you are not confused for a moment, on the contrary, you suddenly feel that the world is much simpler and more beautiful. The boundaries of kitsch are attacked by the premise itself, but the final result is so original and tastefully filmed that only the biggest nitpicker could reproach any sentiment or slight cliché. Simply a beautiful, wonderful spectacle whose magic cannot be expressed in words.

A Christmas movie gift in which everyone who has ever been in love at least once will find something for themselves, whether they’re 17 or 40, black or white, good looking or not so good looking. Four stars for the fact that I didn’t completely identify with absolutely all of the characters (which is natural) and a secret 20 stars for the one segment that left me petrified and speechless. And also for the overall good-heartedness and love that everyone involved put into making this film.
