Yeah, it was definitely a sub-par Love Actually (even more sub-part than Valentine's Day.) I don't mind romantic comedies which understand that they're just romantic comedies, but I'm not a fan of "see, we've realised an essential truth about the human condition!" It took itself a bit too seriously!

I absolutely hated Valentine's Day so I didn't have high hopes for this. Just as well as it couldn't disappoint. There is something to be said for going to a film will little or no expectations. I can now say that it wasn't as bad as I expected.

I barely recognised Michelle Pfeiffer and while I found her 'story' slightly strange, it was a lot better that some of the other tales being told. Wasn't convinced by Sarah Jessica Parker. Was Ashton Kutcher reprising his role from Valentines Day? - I wasn't sure if they were trying to make a clever connection there, but I have erased Valentines Day from my memory so found it difficult to spot if it was the same character.

However, that all being said, it was ok viewing and I liked the outakes. 5.5/10. I have definitely seen worse (and better thankfully) this year.

Seems this film is being trashed left, right and centre. Those calling it the worst film of the year clearly have not seen Adam Sandler's latest offering: Jack and Jill.
