Is "Love Actually" the best or worst movie ever made?

This week both "Parenthood" and "30 Rock" took swipes at Love Actually. Do you agree with the TV writers or, like me, think it's the one of the best films ever made?

I certainly don't think Love Actually is the worst movie ever, but I do not like the film. Don't get me wrong-- I am a huge chick flick fan. I LOVE Hugh Grant, and Notting Hill is one of my all-time favorite movies. However, Love Actually just always gave me a bad vibe. I've watched it twice, and it happened both times even though I expected to love it before seeing it. Maybe it was the infidelity and such in the movie that rubbed me the wrong way. Regardless, I found the movie to be incredibly shallow and way too long.

I agree. I found it really overlong, almost painfully so, and kind of self-congratulatory.

I like anything Richard Curtis writes. I don't think this is the worst movie, or the best. I do know that I like to watch it every year and Christmas and that it makes me happy.

well, it is not the worst movie at all, as there are really bad ones out there. But I also don't think it is the best one either., it is a nice well made movie, on a scale of 1 -10 (1 horrible and 10 best) I would give it a 7.3

It's closer to being one of the best than to being one of the worst.

I can't imagine why anyone would think it's one of the worst. Sure it might irritate some people that were in a Scrooge-ish kinda mood and want to say "Bah, humbug" at the idea that love is all around, and want some gritty reality instead.

I think I read a reviewer somewhere who wrote that people who criticize it miss the point. It's not meant to be some kind of serious weighty drama, it is a modern fairy tale and a comedy. You don't criticize fairy tales for being unrealistic or simplistic, you just sit back and enjoy.

Now I don't think it's really one of the best films ever either, but it has lots going for it... lots of enjoyable moments... some great lines... very good performances... moments that make me laugh or smile... and even, dare I say it, some insights on love and relationships.

Personally I think you gotta love a film in which Hugh Grant gets to say:

"The SAS are absolutely charming. Ruthless trained killers are just a phone call away."

You can't say that, but this movie is really good, obvious for a comedy. If you are searching something more, you will not find it here. But it's a film that you have to see.
