It seems to
me that everyone has a tradition of doing some special things with friends just
before Christmas, like meeting to have a herring, looking for presents, going
skating or cooking Christmas’ specialties. In my case, we are baking
gingerbread, drinking mulled wine and watching „Love Actually”.

„Love Actually”
is a typical British romantic comedy about the time before Christmas. It
consists of ten stories about love. The main characters experience the power of
love: the joy of being in mutual love or the despair of hopeless love, or the
feeling of loneliness. The story proves that love leads our life. The movie is
on the list of movies, I believe, that must be seen before Christmas. It makes
me laugh to tears, especially dancing Hugh Grant. It evokes deep emotions. The
movie’s soundtrack is also amazing. The song „Christmas all around” is really
cool! But remember, you need to see the movie to fully enjoy it.
An interesting
fact is that the airport footage was made at Heathrow. A team of cameramen spent
a week there. They filmed some real reuniting of families, friends and lovers.
“Love Actually” was the most often rented DVD in the UK in 2004. And do you
know how many times they said: “actually” in the movie? Well… twenty-two times!
If you like to read about more surprising facts, you can find them here:
I also
recommend doing the test „Which Love Actually character are you?” I did the
test and to my big surprise it turned out that I was Natalie. Each character in
the movie is positive, so don’t worry about a score J
I have
found a funny trailer of “Love Actually 2”. The trailer was made as a joke,
since there is no sequel, unfortunately.
“Love Actually”
is a wonderful and cheerful movie. It teaches us that both failures and
successes are needed to fully understand life. Everyone has his or her own path
in which there are happy and sad moments, but it is our life and that what
really matters.
The movie helps
to forget about problems and makes people happy, so it is perfect for the time before
Christmas. In today’s world, full of indifference to feelings, the movie is
like a beautiful pearl waiting to be found…

I’m not a person who likes boisterous parties and I rather prefer in that time walk through snowy alleys and takes photos. Unfortunately the weather is variable and we don’t have any snowfall this time.
Yes, I’ve watched this movie last year (I remember, it was broadcasted on Christmas). The first thing which I saw was showed (like on tray) many of personalities before Xmas of different people from different social backgrounds. Movie present us behaviors and perplexities and also amuse us (e.g. scene when Rowan Atkinson plays vendor who is packing a gift for one of main character). If they should make next episode? I think it would be too much similar to first movie and predictable.
Unfortunately I haven't seen the movie, haven't even heard about it so not much I can say there. But I might just watch it this Christmas!
As for the move I can’t tell anything because I haven’t seen it , so naturally I don’t have an opinion about them making a sequel.
My family doesn’t usually do anything special. We all just travel home and talk about our lives a bit, eat and watch comedies on television :)
I clean eveeeryyything.

Actually, no.
Do you think they should make a sequel?
Why not, but let me see the first part first :) I heard from many people that it's pretty good movie.
I never saw the movie and I don't really want to. I don't like romantic comedies, cause they are stupid and make you cry... which I don't do.
