Run, don't walk, to this movie. It was everything the reviews said and so much more. It made me laugh, cry, and want to cheer. I am a sucker for a good romantic comedy but this was wittier than your average. There are many different love stories woven into this movie and all are perfectly performed. My husband and I actually had the "car ride home" conversation about which was the sweetest SL. He liked it alot too. I strongly suggest this movie for those who want some holiday cheer a little early. Besides, how can you go wrong with Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, and Liam Neeson?? Can you tell I liked it?? LOL

I can't wait to go see this and now that I have your glowing review, I'll go as soon as possible. I too love Hugh Grant and Liam Neeson and Colin Firth (My Mr. Darcy!) but I also think you can never go wrong when Alan Rickman is in the movie. I adore him! I also am a sucker for a good romantic comedy and I love British films. Can't wait..thanks for the info!

I'm sorry, mamie, but he is MY Mr. Darcy!! My mom, sisters and I watched Pride & Prejuduce 5 times in three dyas over xmas one year. We are all in love with Colin Firth. I did omit Alan Rickman and should not have. He is fabulous.

I think every woman watching Pride and Prejudice fell in love with Mr. Darcy! I keep saying I have to buy the dvd because I watch it every time it's on!

OK, Mamie, you and I are gonna have to fight AGAIN! It is MY Mr. Darcy!!!!!! Pride and Prejudice was wonderful, but so was he in Bridget Jones' Diary (playing the character, Mr. Darcy)

Ok, now that's a line from one of my favorite series, "Anne of Green Gables". Don't tell me that you know this!!!!!

Mid, I just don't know to laugh or cry...I love the tv series of Anne of Green Gables..she tells Diana that they are kindred spirits! The acting in that one was so good! I watch it whenever it is on..I love Anne and Gilbert! This is too cool!

For the last time, he is MY Mr. Darcy! You guys can have eachother. I take Darcy. You girls are too funny. My best friend got me hooked on Anne of Green Gables and we call eachother kindred spirits. What chicks we all are! LOL...I remember watching the first and second movie in one night and getting so upset when I thought Anne would end up with the old guy( comparatively). I was crying at the prospect of it. I called her at 4 am and said "if she goes with the old guy, I am going to kill you for making me watch this!" But my god, was it good.

You know all along that she belongs with Gilbert and then it looks like he might die..it was heart wrenching but it worked out in the end , thank God!

I watched it SO many times with my daughter, who read the series of books more than once. She was able to recite the dialogue from the books, which coincided exactly with what they said in the movie. Sigh...good times. Ummmmm...what was this thread about? LOL

You're right, Mamie. Fab, Mamie and I will share Mr. Darcy with you if we can all share Gilbert. Deal?

OK, there is enough to go around. Sounds like a deal. To get back on topic(lol), if you girls love Colin Firth, you'll love him in Love Actually. He plays a part unlike his others. He is not the least bit arrogant in this. I think his part was very vulnerable, even. He had as many good oneliners as Hugh Grant too. It was fabulous!

Colin was on The View (which I missed ) but my sister said he was very funny. He had Joy cracking up.

Lyra, he was too darn cute for words! How can a childs love story make me cry?? He was THAT good. Midlifer, you won't be sorry. It is 2 hours and 6 minutes long and you don't want it to end. My husband liked it. He is still talking about it.

Just saw this movie today. I left the theater in a very happy mood and realized I had had a smile on my face for more than two hours. Lovable characters acted by wonderful actors. The NY Times panned it, but as someone said "put your pseudo intellect aside, this isn't Shakesphere", no, it's New Merry England at it's best - and naugahtiest - as only the Brits can play it. But it is rated R, and the graphic sexual scenes are acceptable only because of their humor, but be forewarned.

i loved this movie too! i just love british humor. and hugh grant...well, i just think he is hilarious and always charming, and to me that makes him handsome. i should know which one colin firth is since i was obsessed with anne of green gables, myself, but i guess i didn't pick up which one he was....was he the one that had the portuguese housekeeper? that kid was just adorable, and i loved hugh's girl, too, i already forgot the character's name. everyone (adults, that is) should see this. it was awesome. touching and hilarious!
