It is Valentine's day and people, singles or in a relationship alike, gets some story of hook-ups, break-ups and make-ups.
****
What I like about this film was every character received spotlights on their stories. There are good stories, and there are bad, good goes to *SPOILER ALERT* Ashton Kutcher's supposed engagement and bad goes to the two Taylors non-sense romantic subplot. Lots of love stories are predictable and usual except the gay thing twist. |

One of those flicks where the cast sells the films image and marketing. Not as amusing or entertaining as Love Actually. Obviously the number of characters lacks development so the plot confuses. Chris Rockhas a simplistic story made complicated and lentghened. Definitely nothing memorable and easilly forgetable. |

The creators of this film obviously wanted to emulate Love Actually and develop a romantic comedy of interconnected storylines. The problem is that they went overboard and there are too many competing storylines for any of the characters to be truly fleshed out. As a result, most of the stories (with the exception of the older couple) are merely a string of cameos of famous actors who spout off romantic cliches and resolve their plots in unconvincing, convenient ways. |

Out of all the films of 2010, this was by far one of the most disappointing. Sure, its great for a "Six Degrees of Separation" game, but other than that, the star power behind this film was not enough to carry this poorly-devised "tapestry" of stories. There were interesting plots, such as the Julia Roberts/Bradley Coooper story arc, and the Topher Grace/Anne Hathaway story; and even the Emma Roberts arc was acceptable, but really? Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift - Pointless. Ashton Kutcher/Jessica Alba was boring and everything else...Urgh. Too much hype, not enough payoff. |

Yes - it IS Love, Actually in the US |

This was hugely disappointing. The talent they had for this movie was pretty great, but the script really let them down on this one.
They basically took "Love, Actually", dumbed it down, removed the funny bits and most of the romance, added a few so-called twists and tried to pass it off as their own work. Ok "Love, Actually" wasn't totally original, but this movie lifts a lot from it anyway. The multi story structure, the "cute kid in love", betrayal and infidelity, a man in the media's spotlight, and even the required "stopping someone from getting on a plane" bit. Just too bad they couldn't write it better.
I didn't really care about any of the characters, nothing heartwarming about most of it (except the last little bit), the attempts at comedy were awful, the highschool kids were... |
