I feel the same about Breakfast at Tiffany's though, it was far more depressing than I expected Anyway I thought Love, Actually was pretty gross

blue squares posted:Why? In trying to depict love as this beautiful universal experience, Love, Actually instead props the concept up on this impossibly high pedestal. I mean when the movie isn't talking about romantic love it does pretty well, such as the little kid and his dad or the office employee and her dependent brother, but then several of the relationships portrayed are between powerful men and their subordinates and I've never really been in the mood for those awkward gender politics. The fat woman who isn't fat at all (but we'll make tons of bad jokes about it regardless), the flirty secretary who felt like less of a character and more of a guilty power fantasy, and the housekeeper who is effectively silenced by the language barrier and is probably just a rebound anyway, were all pretty prominent and also not good subplots. There's also Bill Nighy and his manager but I liked them  (insert more fat jokes here)

Similarly Will Smith is a babe so we can forgive him being a manipulative proto pickup artist
