JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 So I have to admit I used to love watching "Love Actually" during Christmas. It used to be one of my favorite movies. Now it makes me cringe. It's like some privileged frat boy wrote it. I counted five fat women jokes and two transphobic jokes. Hell the movie pretty much opens with a transphobic joke. The movie is such a product of it's time. It's almost too ridiculous. Then the women in this movie are just treated horribly. The underappreciated wife who gets cheated on is also the the underappreciated little sister of the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister falls in love with his, I don't even know what her position is, she brings him tea and files to read, oh and she is about 25-30 years younger than him. Then the guy who is obsessed with his best friend's wife. Like WTF. Going to his best friend's house asking her to lie about him being there and giving her a love message. Like why is he written so we feel sorry for him but the office "other woman" is written for us to not like. I'm officially over it. Is there any Christmas romance movie I should be watching from now on?

Shawniqua Mendes 3,937 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 The Holiday is much better christmas romcom imo And Jude Law is so good looking in this film Wolałabym być sucha, ale przynajmniej jestem mokra.

MJHolland 12,725 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 YES THANK YOU I watched this movie for the first time 2 years ago with my boyfriend at the time and his friends who adored the film. They had been hyping it up for daysss beforehand. I had basically your same reaction/takeaways and when I started to mention them I was low key attacked Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for me it was because I hadn't watched it completely for like three years that it clicked just how bad it is.

Ivy 12,591 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Omg I hated that movie when I first watched it I thought it was so sexist and everyone was making such bad choices. But then the second time it somehow grew on me and I liked it But I haven't watched it in a few years and I didn't remember the bad jokes the meow in zombieboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumi 3,512 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I watched it this year expecting it to be bad, I was not disappointed. Just so many no´s, a movie like that will never be made again. Like the dude that went to the US and had "lots of hotties" just because he was british? underneath the pine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
