This year, just take 2 hours from your life and watch Love actually. At worst you'll lose two hours of your life but will at least be rewarded with God only knows. It's such a great film. And I definitely wouldn't count it as a chick flick, just english comedy/drama/romance at its best with some of the best actors you've got right now. Liam Neeson is in it.
Or just watch something good for two hours instead.
Richard Curtis Aaaaaaghh!! Oh look, there's some slightly quirky middle class people doing slightly odd things whilst being terribly English about it all. **** OFF!!!!
Sorry . Really don't like anything he's done (apart from Blackadder ofc).
