Love Actually

One of my favorite movies is the great romantic comedy, Love Actually. My favorite kinds of movies are romantic chick flicks and this one fits me perfectly. I still remember when I first saw it in theatres in 2003 and buying it right away when it came out on DVD. With the many love stories going on in the story, you are so entertained and almost in tears through out the movie.

Love Actually is a movie about love, no pun intended. It's a movie that displays love within seven different love stories. It takes place around Christmas and ironically enough everyone seems to fall in love on Christmas. This movie makes you want to fall in love and watch it over and over again. I have learned that this movie relates to men and women. I know a lot of boys my own age that happen to really like this movie. Even though it is a romantic comedy, usually in the likings of girls, love is what really gets to people.

With a great cast: Hugh Grant, Bill Nighy, Colin Firth, Liam Neeson, Emma Thompson, and Kiera Knightley. They make the movie great. You end up in tears with how much emotion everyone puts into this movie.

Its a great movie to watch whenever, but especially around Christmas. This movie makes you want to fall in love and you find yourself cheering all the characters on as they themselves find love.

Critique the Critic Assignment 1

I read the review by Collin Covert who wrote about Superbad. I have seen this movie, thought it was great and hilarious and he agrees with me. He explains how the movie definitely brings you back to the '70s and how nerdy teenagers used to be in the '70s comedies. I didn't live in the '70s but got a sort of hip vibe from the great funky music they played through out the movie. He talks about how the jokes turn from raunchy into more adult like themes. I agree with what he's saying there because most of the jokes are pretty gross but some are hilarious to a more mature audience.

"Superbad" maintains that delicate balance of sweetness, empathy and vulgar
comedy. It's so packed with irreverent lowbrow wit that you scarcely notice how
it quietly shifts from gross-out jokes to adult themes.

By reading what Covert had to say about the movie would definitely make me want to see it. He says mostly positive things and that makes me believe even more that this is a fantastic movie. Covert really talks about the plot of the movie and sort of gives a little description of each character. I think he nails it perfectly. The plot in this movie just gets better as it goes. The movie is based on two best friends who are about to graduate who decide they should lose their virginity. The movie takes place during one day and that day they are invited to a party where one of them is expected to bring liquor for everyone at the party. Things come up during the day and makes you wonder if they will ever get their hands on the booze or even make it to the party. The two boys take you on a hilarious adventure and you find yourself cheering them on as they go.

Jonah Hill and Michael Cera play Seth and Evan, best buds soon to leave for
separate colleges. Anxious about graduating and disconnecting, the chubby
motormouth and his bright, timid pal shoot for one final bonding experience --
losing their virginity.

Covert explains how Jonah Hill and Michael Cera are perfect for the parts. Superbad was the first movie I have ever seen either of the two act in before and I agree with Covert about saying that they were perfect for this movie. Now that I've seen it I can't see any other teenage actors perform like they did. In this outrageous comedy your face could seriously become sore from laughing. I wouldn't recommend this movie to kids but defnitely to teenagers.
