I think Love Actually is now one of those ‘Christmas’ films. It is much better with the presents but it is also really nice to bring along a tray of chocolates or pastries wrapped with all the fancy paper, bows, etc.

Hi Bianca. The film is a bit cheesy but is quite easy going. If it wasn’t for Hugh Grant (who I dislike) it would be one of those great Sunday afternoon films, for me. We do have it on DVD so we can even watch it in English!

Gotta love Alan Rickman. He does grumpy so well!

There is actually an advert over here parodying that kind of gift wrapping. At one point, a guy is hoisted down to sprinkle something into the box, and another guy is sent off to get a box to put the box into.

But I agree, I think the gift would look so much better like that than just wrapped.
