About
You’ll probably enjoy Love Actually if you like big, interwoven holiday romance stories with plenty of laughs and feels; Not for you if you dislike overstuffed romance plots or find dated, insensitive humor hard to tolerate, especially compared with The Holiday or Four Weddings and a Funeral.
Pros: charming ensemble cast; heart and holiday spirit; often funny | Cons: many subplots; uneven character development; some uncomfortable jokes
