Dylan, please look up the alternate take of the ending airport scene. The little boy was originally written as this excellent gymnast, and they have him flipping all around the airport to get to the girl. The only problem is, they got a GROWN MAN who was visibly larger than the child doing the flips. It is HILARIOUS.
DYLAN he flirts because he said the only women he could ever like after his wife passed is Claudia Schiffer and the women in the movie IS Claudia Schiffer! :D
Love Actually is like running a race and being like “this was a horrible decision I’m never doing this again” then a year later you’ve forgotten how much it sucks and sign up again
I don't feel like explaining my enjoyment of _all_ the different plots (although I agree on the kiera knightly one, the story itself is not bad but the conclusion is insane in a way I don't like) but the martin freeman one is one of my favourites because it's so sweet and understated. They are in these fairly extreme positions where they are stand-ins for erotic movies but then they so innocently talk about their days and if _maybe_ the other would like to maybe go on a date sometime and their date concludes so sweetly. I do know a bunch is cut out of international (non-European) version because it's a bit explicit, so you might've seen a version with most of it cut. Also, it's insane but the little boy (the step son) and Kiera Knightly differ only 5 years here. Crazy.
As a Brit, we enjoy dark, dry humour (sweeping generalisation) which is the kind of comedy this goes for. It goes into different types of love, like Bill Nighy and his manager, or the woman and her brother. Everything you say is wrong with the movie is completely valid though, but we don't really care in the end because its a good time. Not ridicuoously hopeful like other Christmas films. Anyway loved the video! It's funny seeing an American react to our weird British movies like when you did About Time.
Love this movie. It chronicles so many types of love stories and not just the good parts of love but the pain, betrayal, loss, and grief. Sure it's corny. Sure it doesn't always make sense or come to happy endings but idk makes me happy every Christmas.
This movie is good because it's not like "a christmas prince" 'cause even if some of those characters are annoying, they feel real. They each have sort of an arc and it's cool how they all kind of know each other. The thing I love the most is actually the Alan Rickman-Emma Thompson storyline. It doesn't have a good ending and it is sad and heartbreaking but it just feels so real. I don't need movies with characters who don't have a soul. Love actually will always be my favourite christmas movie just because it feels alive
Dylan the name of the movie is love actually, as in how love realistically is (staying together after adultery or prioritising your brother over yourself, being in love with your best friends girl). It's not sunshine and roses and that's why it's a classic, especially at Christmas when people can feel this the most! You should see some of the axed plotlines!!!
@@propogandalf you can find them online, must be some on youtube.. they are all weaved into the story but had to cut for time 😢 Dylan should do a follow up on those!
Love Actually is a mess and everyone makes stupid decisions. That's what makes it completely relatable. It's also funny and ridiculous. We like "Just in cases" 🥺
Not a fan of this movie but the whole communicating in 2 languages is a thing. My mom can understand spanish but can't or is to shy to speak it. Her spanish friend can understand my mom's lowgerman dialect. They would talk entire evenings like that, each in their own language. It's so interesting to watch/listen😅
True ... In southern India there are 4 languages ... we speak ours but can't speak the other 3 (but we understand them)! Confuses the hell out of north indians!!
I've done this with people when we both speak/understand the languages we're using but initially neither character is meant to speak any of the other's language, the fact they're saying related things is coincidental so it isn't really the same thing at all.
In the movie they don’t understand eachother at all, they simply are so alike and made for eachother that they always talk about the same things at the same time without knowing it, that’s the point of the relationship.
Ahh Dylan it’s such a great movie.. because it doesn’t resolve everything, it doesn’t spell everything out for you, it leaves you the space to come to your own conclusion and it’s a good attempt to show real, imperfect people with issues and weird solutions and behaviors. It’s not like these generic and flat hallmark movies and I love Love actually for that! The beginning and end is beautiful, the plotlines that are all kinda connected through the people working together, being friends or family are so fun and the messy, blunt, shameless cheesy stuff in between is just brilliant and hilarious to me. There’re so many cool and fun nuances in there I’m surprised you didn’t catch! Like the p***n set workers that are actually really shy and not getting in bed right away but get engaged (I personally know people who got married after knowing each other for a week and who are happy after 15 years together.. it happens). The plot about the sister taking care of her brother where she feels so responsible and so much love for him that she puts her own happiness aside to be there for him. It’s sad but it’s also fricking beautiful and important to show these kinds of issues (mental health, schizophrenia), love and family working through that. And I bet Karl and her got a second chance later on;) sooo yeah, I just love this messy, uninhibited, sad, hopeful, quirky movie and it feels perfectly imperfect and more real than the soft washed christmas movies (which I can still enjoy). I would just criticize some aspects (from todays point of view obviously) like the fatphobia/bodyshaming and the "suck it up" comment towards Liam while grieving.
I'm bummed Dylan skipped the Bill Nighy and his platonic/maybe-not-platonic friend-scenes. Especially the last one, that was so sweet. I really like this movie, excluding Keira and the Creep obviously.
I always thought that Keira Knightly kissing Andrew was not a romantic kiss, but more a “thank you for this gesture, here’s a token of my appreciation.” Also, I think Colin Firth’s character wasn’t married, just dating/living with the cheating girl, which is why he just said, “Alone again”.
I think a hug would have been more appropriate for that gesture. Because now they'll always have this boundary-crossing secret from Chiwetel's character
That is an enormously inappropriate response to a romantic gesture made by someone outside of your marriage, not only towards your spouse, but also in terms of the signals it sends to the outside party.
I love the relationship between the Portuguese girl and the man because even though they couldn't understand each other they had the same thoughts on almost everything (which is why it seemed like they did understand each other). It's the sweetest example of soulmates. And no, she did not forgive Alan Rickman in a month, she obviously has resentment and tension on her face and in her voice when he comes back. It's just so many different examples of love, like how instead of choosing Karl she chose her brother. And by the end of the movie the little boy calls him "Dad" for the first time. And also Kiera Knightly giving him one kiss, as a thank you and forgiveness and understanding, and then he consciously chooses to move on. I love all of the stories (except the pop singer, he's so annoying).
@@solus8685 Right??? like hes so obnoxious but in a self aware and funny way. I appreciate what he brings to the movie bc it makes it feel more like a parody of super happy mushy gushy stuff (which makes it more tolerable to watch)

my mom and I have a tradition of watching Love Actually together on Christmas Eve. I look forward to it every year and it's foolish but it means so much to me. So happy to see you watching it this is hilarious
I was just thinking the other day that Dylan should review Love Actually but didn't want to recommend since he doesn't like that. So glad he finally did!!!! Thank you!!! ❤
UK watcher here -loved this reaction it had me rolling with laughter. Your constant surprise at how crude humour was so delightful. Going into this thinking it's a fun sweet movie is the funniest thing possible. This is like a classic over here
We have the polish version of this movie in Poland, but with completely different plot. It became so iconic and popular that we had 6th part this year. And most of the plots in it is continued with the same actors through last 13 years. It's called Letters to Santa (2011) in english I believe.
6th part!? My gosh i only remember 4 of them when have i missed the newer ones? I actually like the first 2 a lot, if only there was english subs for them because they are classics indeed!
@@T.FlorenzThat definitely helps. I didn't like Colonel Brandon the first few times I watched it but he's really grown on me. He's actually quite selfless in his love/admiration.
the fact that Dylan didn't get that it was Sarah's brother who needed her, even when the movie made it super clear, cracks me tf up. never change, Dylan! 😂
Unrelated, but I just came to the comment section to say that I finally watched the OC, and it's really incredible, best show ever. Thank you Dylan, now I understand you after years of hearing your references.
42:29 My explanation: it says love is all around, not that necessarily all of it is deep or wholesome love, just love. Obviously not all the story lines are perfect, Ive never liked the Karl one and Colin to America is a bit redundant but cute cause at least it shows anyone can have love you've just got to find it. Thomas Brodie-sangsters is one of my favourites I don't care if he's like 10 (the character that is, Thomas was 13), I had a crush when I was 6 and felt like my whole world came crashing down when his dad got posted to Canada so had to move, the fact that he is so young means that she probably really is his whole world and he works so hard to prove it to her and how can you not find the airport gesture lovely. Bill Nighy gives us a platonic storyline between him and his manager and I think part of the charm may be lost on you as it may just be the people I know but generally brits have a soft spot for Bill Nighy. You glossed way over Rowen Atkinson and his endeavour for truth to come out between Alan and Emma Thompson, helping love through aiding Thomas brodie-sangster. I also refuse to accept the hate of Colin Firths storyline, they can't understand each other, it's meant to be ironic like the bit with the eels, but the whole him walking through the town and the music swelling like it's beautiful. Hugh Grant as the prime minister will never not be funny especially the dance scene. And lastly me and my mum will never not cry at the final airport bit, my dad was army (now retired - not dead as I have accidentally made someone think before) and we've been stood there many a time waiting for him to come out of the gate after god knows how many months so that bit with all the clips of families always hits a spot. I've probably missed bits but I'd say overall that's why I love it.
The Emma Thompson emotional damage in this one is REAL. There are storylines in here that I love and ones that I really dislike. BUT I do like that Rodrigo Santoro had more speaking lines. I remember my mom wanting to see this movie because we would see our Brazilian actor in a big foreign movie. 😊
Im five minutes in and as someone who watched this movie kinda every year and is, not from UK, but from Europa and feels maybe a bit more familiar with this kind of bluntness and watching sth that’s so uninhibited - I laughed my ass of so many times already watching you react to it😂 thank you for that, highly needed that and appreciate it.
Who is gonna tell Dylan that the actor of a kid thats “8 years old” is only 5 years younger than Keira Knightley in this movie lol

Ah yes, the one time of year we all come together to hate on Alan Rickman for what he did to Emma Thomson
Watching Sense and Sensibility (1995) is the antidote 🥲
Eh he gets his in Harry Potter AND Die Hard
@@T.FlorenzThat definitely helps. I didn't like Colonel Brandon the first few times I watched it but he's really grown on me. He's actually quite selfless in his love/admiration.
the fact she wore red lipstick, red earrings and a red cardigan to match the ruby in the necklace 😭
9:57 "he doesn't love her, I can see it in the way he parts his hair"
5:00 That buffer was so funny 😂
My mum and I watched this movie year after year during Christmas!!! So happy you're watching it
Also 37:42 is the craziest noise I’ve ever heard Dylan make and that’s saying something 😂
the pure disbelief of 37:41 has me losing it
movie commentary "Monday" ayeeee perfect loll
dylan… it is her brother… my god… listen to the movie FOR ONCE😭😭😭
Also crazy the kid Thomas Brody Sangster was 13 in this and Keira knightly was 18 so only a 5 year difference!!
the fact that Dylan didn't get that it was Sarah's brother who needed her, even when the movie made it super clear, cracks me tf up. never change, Dylan! 😂
Immediately thought of Dylan’s reaction to Colin going to Wisconsin when I saw the thumbnail 😀
As a British person I can confirm we are naturally sad, tea is laced with antidepressants and that’s why we drink so much of it
love actually is an absolute classic
This is just what my Monday needed. It's going to be a good week.
This movie shows all aspects of love, positive or negative ❤💔
38:43 I laughed at the maze runner reference xD
13:28 Dylan, it’s dark and rainy every day in the UK. We have a right to be depressed and miserable all the time 😭
THIS IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE THANK YOUU
ok but why, is my question
@@syd07136no literally why and how?
Y'all I don't like this movie either but everyone has their own taste
my family and i just watch it on loop during Christmas!
Not people being puzzled at someone enjoying something they don’t enjoy. You do you and enjoy it girl
Watching from the UK makes this 100x more enjoyable
Fr
watching from the uk
can't believe i woke up this monday morning and saw this amazing video on a monday, while im watching this on my chair, on a monday!
love actually: "that necklace there, how much is it? its 270 pounds"
dylan: "ooh its heavy damn"
made me laugh uncontrollably
Unrelated, but I just came to the comment section to say that I finally watched the OC, and it's really incredible, best show ever. Thank you Dylan, now I understand you after years of hearing your references.
I’m surprised he hasn’t done a Friends and watched them all and recorded it. It’s what I’ve been waiting for
@@EGCFChe did a friends review about a year ago that’s pretty good
@@kemboreo Best video he did
@@kemboreo im pretty sure that's the video they referenced by saying "doing a Friends"
@@EGCFC he has actually but I don't see how that's related to my comment
As a Brit, dark humour is a must for survival here.
i always get so excited when i’ve seen the movie before, this is a fantastic monday
Dylan, dylan, dylan, ill never say this to another american as long as i live..... but think less!
My favourite RUclipsr and favourite movie IM SO HAPPY
42:29 My explanation: it says love is all around, not that necessarily all of it is deep or wholesome love, just love. Obviously not all the story lines are perfect, Ive never liked the Karl one and Colin to America is a bit redundant but cute cause at least it shows anyone can have love you've just got to find it. Thomas Brodie-sangsters is one of my favourites I don't care if he's like 10 (the character that is, Thomas was 13), I had a crush when I was 6 and felt like my whole world came crashing down when his dad got posted to Canada so had to move, the fact that he is so young means that she probably really is his whole world and he works so hard to prove it to her and how can you not find the airport gesture lovely. Bill Nighy gives us a platonic storyline between him and his manager and I think part of the charm may be lost on you as it may just be the people I know but generally brits have a soft spot for Bill Nighy. You glossed way over Rowen Atkinson and his endeavour for truth to come out between Alan and Emma Thompson, helping love through aiding Thomas brodie-sangster. I also refuse to accept the hate of Colin Firths storyline, they can't understand each other, it's meant to be ironic like the bit with the eels, but the whole him walking through the town and the music swelling like it's beautiful. Hugh Grant as the prime minister will never not be funny especially the dance scene. And lastly me and my mum will never not cry at the final airport bit, my dad was army (now retired - not dead as I have accidentally made someone think before) and we've been stood there many a time waiting for him to come out of the gate after god knows how many months so that bit with all the clips of families always hits a spot.
I've probably missed bits but I'd say overall that's why I love it.
my celebrity crush (andrew lincoln) + my favorite youtuber = best day ever
me doing a double take n watching the full ad cause dylan looked TOO GOOD
I share the same sentiments with this movie. There’s too much going on and there are barely any wholesome plot lines. It gives me anxiety.
"Let me see some death'... but also 5 seconds later "I like my Christmas movies with a side of innocence" 🤣🤣
Father is not letting us starve frfrfr
My favourite RUclipsr watching my favourite Christmas movie this is the highlight of my year lmao
as a british person, dylan you're spot on about the constant sadness :)
The Emma Thompson emotional damage in this one is REAL. There are storylines in here that I love and ones that I really dislike. BUT I do like that Rodrigo Santoro had more speaking lines. I remember my mom wanting to see this movie because we would see our Brazilian actor in a big foreign movie. 😊
Does Dylan not realize it was Laura Linney's brother who kept calling?
Im five minutes in and as someone who watched this movie kinda every year and is, not from UK, but from Europa and feels maybe a bit more familiar with this kind of bluntness and watching sth that’s so uninhibited - I laughed my ass of so many times already watching you react to it😂 thank you for that, highly needed that and appreciate it.
I was having a bad day dylan..... thank u for making it better
Lol, i heard that this was a really good movie, glad I got the Dylan review before i saw it.
Posted one minute ago is crazy, I’m so excited for this!!
14:46 Bill Nihy's character is the only one who actually shows real love at the end!
