Such a frustrating disappointment
Absolutely brilliant
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Do not be fooled by the name of this movie like many unfortunate viewers have,the title will make you feel like the movie wont be that bad but it is really terrible. If you wanna keep watching romedies avoid this one. The premise and style is all Love Actually and the crux lies on the story that has Ashton Kutcher and that girl from Ghosts of the.....That particular story was terrible and had no substance at all. The others were shallow and stupid and you dont like any one of the stories or the characters. Particularly terrible was the one with an old couple and the one that has Bradley Cooper(in his worst role) and Julia Roberts(still playing Vivian from Pretty Woman). The only one worth its time was the one with Jamie Foxx. The gap between the different stories is so long that you forget the stories but you are glad you do.
First of all the reason I wanted to watch this movie because of the great line up of cast. Anne Hathaway, Jamie Foxx and loads more. Why wouldn't you watch this movie right? Well that was clearly a mistake and the longest hour and a half ever! I am going to now give you 3 reason to stay clear of this movie 1. Anne Hathaway is personally one of my favorite actresses. She is great in movies such as Princess Diaries, Devil wears Prada and many more. But in this movie I felt like her talents were discarded completely. Also her character was not suited to her at all. 2.Taylor Swift is a great performer on stage but not on the acting stage.I think that she should just stay singing. She is a terrible actress except for her role in the Lorax. She had no skills and it looked like through the entire movie she was reading off of cue cards behind the camera. 3. The story line is so weird. I personally didn't like this movie because of the main reason the story line. If you do ever watch this movie ( and why would you?!) you will know what I am taking about. It had no point what so ever and made no sense at all.So there you have it the worst movie ever.
As said in the Summary, this film is trying to imitate Love Actually (LA) and failing abysmally.People of all generations with love interests and stories etc that are only there to draw a crowd of all ages. Except for the teen-aged love stories which are absent in LA and might as well have been absent here too - blatantly obvious they are only there to further Taylor Swift's singing career (since she can't act and her song is in it).This film has too many characters and spends too little time on most of the relationships for them to even matter in the scheme of things.In addition to this the producers of this film were unoriginal when naming characters and the plots for said characters: A male chasing after a female in the clichéd airport scene where he hopes to not regret telling her something (also done in LA). A character named Julia in this and a character named Juliet in LA. A character named Kara in this character named Karen in LA. A character named Harrison in this who is cheating on his wife and a character named Harry in LA who is cheating on his wife. A phone sex operator in this and two porn stars in LA for "comedy" (done better in LA). A single parent in this and a single parent in LA. A child who says he needs to tell his love interest how he feels by himself when asked if he needs help (done in both).This film threw in a token gay relationship which was really quite pointless and was akin to the president in LA and the staffer when their relationship was made public. They didn't even have the guys kissing or anything - maybe the actors didn't want to, but this makes it unbelievable and apparently "token". Talking of token, both this and LA have the token "dark skin tone and white skin tone" relationships with adults and children.The people in this film fell in love so quickly it was ridiculous and went out on dates just because they had no one...typical Hollywood agenda there.
The movies where more than five famous actors are playing in, are usually boring and complicated. This one is no exception. Too many stories are taking place on 14th of February, on Valentine's day. It shows many aspects of love, between many couples, some of them without chemistry - actually they seem not to belong with each other. The endless changing of the story is confusing and tiring - in my opinion, if the movie had fewer stories it would have been better and easier to follow through. All in all, a romantic story that is being referred only for valentine's day, very complicating and confusing with too many stories about love.
