00:00:00.318 --> 00:00:01.085
- She was standing there like,

00:00:01.085 --> 00:00:02.020
this was Keira Knightley's
face the whole time.

00:00:02.020 --> 00:00:02.786
She was like--

00:00:02.786 --> 00:00:04.248
- [Woman] She ran out and kissed him!

00:00:04.248 --> 00:00:05.526
- Yeah, 'cause she was like, "I'm gonna

00:00:05.526 --> 00:00:07.024
"peck you on the cheek,

00:00:07.024 --> 00:00:09.520
"so you fucking stop this bullshit."

00:00:09.520 --> 00:00:10.843
- It's the Holiday Season.

00:00:10.843 --> 00:00:12.480
Folks are gathered around
with their families

00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:14.163
watching their favorite Holiday movies.

00:00:14.163 --> 00:00:15.963
But what is the best Holiday movie?

00:00:15.963 --> 00:00:17.483
Some people would say, "Love Actually."

00:00:17.483 --> 00:00:19.329
Other people, not so hot on it.

00:00:19.329 --> 00:00:21.407
Is Love Actually the new Holiday classic?

00:00:21.407 --> 00:00:22.359
It's debatable.

00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:25.197
(triumphant orchestral music)

00:00:27.606 --> 00:00:29.383
- I'm here to tell you why this is

00:00:29.383 --> 00:00:31.007
actually one of the worst movies.

00:00:31.007 --> 00:00:32.703
- I love Love Actually.

00:00:32.703 --> 00:00:34.398
- Love Actually just gets me angry.

00:00:34.398 --> 00:00:35.384
- Love Actually is the best.

00:00:35.384 --> 00:00:36.857
- I'm gonna critique the
fuck out of this movie.

00:00:36.857 --> 00:00:37.460
(laughing)

00:00:37.460 --> 00:00:39.839
(foreboding orchestral music)

00:00:39.839 --> 00:00:41.500
Let's start with the
actual film scructure.

00:00:41.500 --> 00:00:42.602
- It's barely about Christmas.

00:00:42.602 --> 00:00:44.286
Yeah, okay, it's during
Christmas time, whatever.

00:00:44.286 --> 00:00:45.981
But it's not like we
sit there and watch them

00:00:45.981 --> 00:00:47.142
around a Christmas tree.

00:00:47.142 --> 00:00:49.440
- It's like, "Let's get this cavalcade

00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:51.367
"of big celebrities,

00:00:51.367 --> 00:00:54.119
"throw them in mediocre story lines,

00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:56.359
"and then just like get
off on watching people

00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:58.298
"happen to cleverly connect at points."

00:00:58.298 --> 00:01:00.480
- A lot of the characters
were really creepy.

00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:01.839
It wasn't romantic at all.

00:01:01.839 --> 00:01:03.383
Like you have that horny Prime Minister--

00:01:03.383 --> 00:01:04.764
- He's not that horny!
- He didn't want to

00:01:04.764 --> 00:01:06.157
get involved with his secretary.

00:01:06.157 --> 00:01:07.457
He found her sexually attractive,

00:01:07.457 --> 00:01:08.723
so he fired her.

00:01:08.723 --> 00:01:11.300
- I wouldn't be down to clown with that.

00:01:11.300 --> 00:01:12.960
I would be like, "This is a little weird,"

00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:14.661
and I might be like, "Where is HR?"

00:01:14.661 --> 00:01:16.298
- Let's get into this Rick Grimes scene.

00:01:16.298 --> 00:01:18.701
This story line is the absolute worst.

00:01:18.701 --> 00:01:20.581
The only reason he's using those signs

00:01:20.581 --> 00:01:22.579
is because her husband is in the house!

00:01:22.579 --> 00:01:25.214
- Imagine you just got married to a guy,

00:01:25.214 --> 00:01:27.153
and then your best friend
shows up at your door

00:01:27.153 --> 00:01:27.991
with a sign saying,

00:01:27.991 --> 00:01:29.461
- Well, the thing is.
- "Don't tell Chloe that

00:01:29.461 --> 00:01:30.891
- Then I would never find out,
- I'm here.

00:01:30.891 --> 00:01:32.318
because he didn't tell him. (laughs)

00:01:32.318 --> 00:01:34.404
- Also, what a terrible
wedding videographer.

00:01:34.404 --> 00:01:35.367
You're paid for one thing,

00:01:35.367 --> 00:01:37.579
you had one job, Rick Grimes.

00:01:37.579 --> 00:01:38.872
Shoot the fucking wedding.

00:01:38.872 --> 00:01:40.023
And everything turned into this

00:01:40.023 --> 00:01:41.765
creepy-ass closeup of Keira Knightley?

00:01:41.765 --> 00:01:43.425
- I would be like, "What the fuck?

00:01:43.425 --> 00:01:45.619
"Who are you?"
- You do not lust after

00:01:45.619 --> 00:01:47.178
your best friend's girl, especially when

00:01:47.178 --> 00:01:48.072
they're getting married.

00:01:48.072 --> 00:01:49.952
That's just like, block
that shit off, buddy.

00:01:49.952 --> 00:01:51.089
- Then there's this little kid

00:01:51.089 --> 00:01:52.831
that decides he's in love with someone

00:01:52.831 --> 00:01:54.839
after like pretty much
never speaking to her,

00:01:54.839 --> 00:01:55.734
which is fine.

00:01:55.734 --> 00:01:57.219
But, he decides to go to the airport--

00:01:57.219 --> 00:01:57.974
- You wouldn't be able to run through

00:01:57.974 --> 00:01:59.658
any security for that.
- I will say that this is

00:01:59.658 --> 00:02:02.166
post-2001, this is post-9/11,

00:02:02.166 --> 00:02:03.408
so that kid probly would have been

00:02:03.408 --> 00:02:05.869
tased the fuck out of.
- Woah.

00:02:05.869 --> 00:02:08.967
(foreboding orchestral music)

00:02:08.967 --> 00:02:10.908
- First of all, in Love Actually, you have

00:02:10.908 --> 00:02:12.568
one of the best casts ever.

00:02:12.568 --> 00:02:13.646
- You never get bored, because

00:02:13.646 --> 00:02:15.273
there's always something
different to watch.

00:02:15.273 --> 00:02:16.909
- You just feel so many things

00:02:16.909 --> 00:02:18.186
in watching this movie.

00:02:18.186 --> 00:02:19.556
- Mostly disgust. (chuckles)

00:02:19.556 --> 00:02:21.135
- I think it's self-aware, you know?

00:02:21.135 --> 00:02:22.830
- I know that some people think that scene

00:02:22.830 --> 00:02:24.850
with the guy from The
Walking Dead is creepy.

00:02:24.850 --> 00:02:26.533
Yes, it is slightly creepy,

00:02:26.533 --> 00:02:29.354
but it is also very romantic,

00:02:29.354 --> 00:02:31.247
and he's still being good to his friend,

00:02:31.247 --> 00:02:34.648
because he's not trying to
pursue the friend's wife,

00:02:34.648 --> 00:02:35.774
he's just trying to let her know

00:02:35.774 --> 00:02:37.028
that he doesn't hate her.

00:02:37.028 --> 00:02:39.210
- I was a Film major, okay,

00:02:39.210 --> 00:02:41.334
I'm appreciating it for what it is.

00:02:41.334 --> 00:02:43.168
- It's a frickin' Holiday movie,

00:02:43.168 --> 00:02:45.526
like calm down everybody,
it's just a bit of fun.

00:02:45.526 --> 00:02:46.814
- Martin Freeman is in it.

00:02:47.664 --> 00:02:49.045
He's one of the best people ever

00:02:49.045 --> 00:02:50.687
and he's so adorable.

00:02:50.687 --> 00:02:52.915
- Isn't he like a sex
stand-in in this movie?

00:02:52.915 --> 00:02:53.829
- Yeah.

00:02:53.829 --> 00:02:55.013
So?

00:02:55.013 --> 00:02:57.428
- A lot of the film is
actually very British-based,

00:02:57.428 --> 00:02:58.809
which might be why some

00:02:58.809 --> 00:03:00.551
Americans don't really understand it!

00:03:00.551 --> 00:03:02.163
- You gotta watch it with Mom.

00:03:02.163 --> 00:03:03.370
You gotta watch it with your Mom,

00:03:03.370 --> 00:03:04.683
you gotta watch it with your sister.

00:03:04.683 --> 00:03:06.770
I don't have a sister, I
just pretend I have one.

00:03:06.770 --> 00:03:07.991
- I never watch it any other time

00:03:07.991 --> 00:03:09.432
of the year, 'cause
it's a Christmas-y movie

00:03:09.432 --> 00:03:10.650
and it gets me in the spirit.

00:03:10.650 --> 00:03:12.658
We all cry and laugh and get angry

00:03:12.658 --> 00:03:13.738
together about it.

00:03:13.738 --> 00:03:16.455
- I also got to hear, "All
I Want For Christmas Is You"

00:03:16.455 --> 00:03:18.207
by Mariah Carey in like,

00:03:18.207 --> 00:03:20.112
an amazing falsetto voice

00:03:20.112 --> 00:03:22.456
and it totally inspired me to sing that

00:03:22.456 --> 00:03:23.896
as an 11 year old

00:03:23.896 --> 00:03:25.475
at my Christmas party.

00:03:25.475 --> 00:03:26.786
- I don't go into Christmas movies

00:03:26.786 --> 00:03:28.888
expecting the next Citizen Cane.

00:03:28.888 --> 00:03:31.953
But this gave a well-rounded, fun

00:03:31.953 --> 00:03:33.810
experience that I can come back to

00:03:33.810 --> 00:03:35.551
year after year, and it doesn't get old.

00:03:35.551 --> 00:03:39.047
(triumphant orchestral music)

00:03:39.047 --> 00:03:41.554
- Basically, all the men
in this movie are trash.

00:03:41.554 --> 00:03:43.940
- Oh, you need a closing argument?

00:03:45.837 --> 00:03:48.008
- [Woman] Oh my God.

00:03:48.008 --> 00:03:49.803
So rude! (laughing)

00:03:50.987 --> 00:03:52.663
- Love can be crazy,

00:03:52.663 --> 00:03:54.888
the movie shows that.

00:03:56.398 --> 00:03:58.189
- Love as it actually is:

00:03:58.189 --> 00:03:59.907
weird and messy.

00:03:59.907 --> 00:04:01.347
Just let people enjoy themselves.

00:04:01.347 --> 00:04:02.693
It's a fun movie.

00:04:02.693 --> 00:04:04.447
- Love Actually makes no sense.

00:04:04.447 --> 00:04:06.606
There are so many
stories crammed into one.

00:04:06.606 --> 00:04:08.812
It's a completely rambling story.

00:04:08.812 --> 00:04:10.227
- [Woman] Just like your board.

00:04:10.227 --> 00:04:12.805
- In the end, between the
battle of good and evil,

00:04:14.675 --> 00:04:17.818
love actually wins.

00:04:18.961 --> 00:04:22.147
(triumphant orchestral music)

00:04:23.674 --> 00:04:25.473
- [Woman] You were told
seven words or less.

00:04:25.473 --> 00:04:27.435
You can't count.
- I just didn't count,

00:04:27.435 --> 00:04:29.095
I chose not to.

00:04:29.095 --> 00:04:30.930
- Just like you chose
not to like the film.
