Critics Consensus

A sugary tale overstuffed with too many stories. Still, the cast charms.

Love Actually provides enough happy endings to make the audience forget that romance and Christmas miracles don't always work out.

The tagline for Love Actually is "The Ultimate Romantic Comedy." Perhaps. But not in the sense the producers intended.

This is almost perfect but it's 15 minutes too long. "Love Actually" is one of my favorite holiday and romantic comedies!

Love Actually is aided by its charming cast of A-list British stars and the storylines that are executed well, though the flaws are still present.

A holiday classic offering the perfect blend of sentiment and humor from a stellar ensemble cast. Even better seeing it in the theaters again this holiday season.
