But he is NOT in anne of green gables. That was a different actor playing Gilbert. We got off topic there. Colin Firth was in Pride and Prejudice, Bridget Jones Diaries, What a Girl wants...

He played Jamie in Love Actually- the author with the housekeeper.

Loved this movie too.

Will have to read what everyone said later. Does anyone know who the actress was who played the beautiful blonde married to the black guy? What a babe!

SPOILER

What was the result of the necklace infidelity? The sister of the prime minister (Hugh Grant) and her husband (the mid life crisis philanderer). Did they ever really do it or were they just about to? How does a marriage recover from that? Most don't. Are we to assume this one did?

Interesting that the prime minister would be having "an affair" with a chubby girl, a la Monica Lewinsky. Art imitating life. But of course he was single so he could go out with anyone he wanted.

I think I'm already forgetting some of the subplots. The movie isn't sticking with me and I just saw it. I still recommend it though. Felt good leaving the theatre.

Newman, so the movie isn't sticking with you? and you're "forgetting some of the subplots?"
that's funny. Happened to me also....immediately.
But, not to worry, there was so much to take in, laugh at and enjoy it was well worth the time and money. I've seen The Missing since then and inspite of it's rave reviews I preferred Love Actually.

Newman - that was Keira Knightley (Bend it Like Beckham, Pirates of the Caribbean).

My boyfriend and I recently saw Love Actually and both really enjoyed it. I think it was one of the better movies we've seen in some time.

Also loved Anne of Green Gables. When I thought Gilbert was going to die, I wept 'til I could weep no more. Well, maybe not quite that long, but was sad and afraid he was a goner.

Happy Holidays to all!!!

Lyra, thanks. I've heard good things about Beckham and Pirates.

I liked Love Actually better than Masters & Commanders. It's a thumb upper.

OK, I just watched this movie on DVD over the weekend. What a charming, delightful movie. If you have chance to watch "Special Features", DO SO! Look for the deleted scenes part, and you'll laugh your head off!!!!

Saw this on Sunday during my monthly movie binge. It was about what I expected, i.e., cute without being anything too special.

I watched this movie last night and enjoyed it so much that I am going to watch it again. A 'feel good' movie and that is my personal preference.

I got around to watching this last night... I liked it! The old rock singer was a hoot, from start to finish. The Prime Minister wasn't the one who was Clinton-ish with his assistant, the US President was - Billy Bob Thornton was good and icky in his few minutes onscreen, I have never liked him and now I really don't . It wasn't a short movie, but went quickly with several different stories going on at the same time, all sort of related and coming together in the end, and though most were your happy endings, a few weren't. This is one I could watch again.
