Love Actually 2 would be green-lit if Curits writes it
The president of Universal Pictures has urged British director/writer Richard Curtis to come up with a follow-up to hit 2003 romantic comedy Love Actually.
The Huffington Post, 14th May 2012Richard Curtis's winsome romcom seems to be becoming a Christmas staple. Featuring a host of Britain's favourite actors including Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman and Bill Nighy, it delves into the personal lives of 10 very different individuals whose lives become loosely entangled in the run-up to the holiday.
The Telegraph, 23rd December 2010Actually, love isn't always quite enough
The film's form has been compared with Robert Altman's multi-story movies like Short Cuts but what it more closely resembles is the slick Terence Rattigan movie The VIPs which links the fates of various well-heeled types in an exclusive lounge at London airport. Love Actually nods to Rattigan's portmanteau film by beginning and ending with characters reuniting and embracing at Heathrow.
Philip French, The Observer, 23rd November 2003Love Actually
This whole movie is shortcuts, but not like Robert Altman. It's more like watching a 135-minute trailer for a film called "Love Actually".
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 21st November 2003Love Actually
You can almost see Curtis pressing the emotional buttons, but he does it so well you won't care. Warm, bittersweet and hilarious, this is lovely, actually. Prepare to be smitten.
Nev Pierce, BBC, 20th November 2003Love Actually
There are laughs laced with feeling here, but the deft screenwriter Richard Curtis (Four Weddings And A Funeral, Notting Hill) dilutes the impact by tossing in more and more stories.
