there are so many emotions from the film, these are interesting and completely different stories that are interesting to watch. I especially liked Billy Mack for his witty and funny lines
It is a pity that the plot about a girl with a sick brother and handsome Carl did not develop. I hope that she will still think about her happiness too.
PS: in an alternate universe, Professor Trelawney and Professor Snape turned out to be married...:-))))
And about the girl where the fate didn't work out...
I'm reviewing it for the second time, because I forgot that I watched it at all) I didn't regret watching it a second time🙂
A very cool movie, that's the best thing on New Year's Eve))
I advise you to watch it🎄🍻🥂
A cozy Christmas movie
How many attempts were made later to remove something similar, but it's not the same, of course.
I know the movie by heart, but I'll watch it again and cry over some of the moments.
Now nostalgia is also mixed in - everyone here is so young and beautiful...
And it's really sad that there's no happy ending in the pile of branches. This was probably the author's idea, given the title, but.. But in the end, I didn't even fully understand the moral, to be honest. Goodbye to cheating? Don't be silent if you're in love with a friend's girlfriend? Or do you do it differently? Of course, the author doesn't always have to speak for himself, sometimes he has to ask a question, and we have to look for answers for ourselves. But here it doesn't feel like these are questions to think about, I didn't catch such an idea. Plus, the answers are quite unambiguous at times.
It's a pity, but the movie is not for me at all. I'm ready for a bunch of cons, although I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings who likes the movie. I just didn't understand his meaning at all, his mood, and I wanted to knock some of the characters on the head.
"Exchange vacation" has already become a New Year's tradition for me. I will definitely review it. And I'm ready to turn it on now and watch it again. He's so warm
The Christmas poster and the cute title set me up for a cozy viewing experience, but... the film should not be called "Real Love", but "Real betrayal". It's the nastiest, raunchiest, and most uncomfortable Christmas movie I've ever seen... I'm wondering how such a huge number of famous actors agreed to star in this?!
In order not to be unfounded, I'd rather go through EACH character and his storyline. Let's start with a light one and go all the way to the tin:
1) A depressed musician, disappointed in life, with a broken career, who promotes drugs to children in an interview and threatens to undress on live TV (let's say it's funny for someone)
2) A man talks to a child about sex and helps him pick up a girl (Okay?)
3) Martin Freeman, starring in a movie (very festive and appropriate for a Christmas movie) with a girl who ends up going on a date with him (that's love! I wonder who her next shoot will be with?)
4) A red-haired, narrow-minded and lustful guy who no one gives, and therefore he calls all British women prim and leaves for America because the girls there are more accessible (how cute! Change yourself? stop acting like a puberty person? how to communicate with girls? Noooo. To pick up American women from the oldest profession – ooooh yes)
5) The Prime minister falls for the maid and starts hitting on her, but then he sees another guy hitting on her. And what does he do? Right! Fires the girl. Because what? Only he dares to hit on his subordinate! The offended man then misses her and runs to return her (how romantic! And tomorrow she'll forget to put sugar in his tea, and he'll fire her again. Here it is – real love with the boss! In constant fear of being fired)
6) A married writer kisses his wife and goes out of town to write a book in silence. But a foreigner is brought to him, with whom he has an affair. He falls in love and leaves his family (oh, how wonderful and romantic!)
7) A man is in love with his best friend's fiancee. Maniacally filming only her face at the wedding. She sees this, understands everything, and when he finally decides to approach her, she immediately kisses him (and what about her best friend? How is he feeling? Did the girl really love him? Oh, it doesn't matter, exactly, because that's what Real love is!)
8) Well, the juice: Alan Rickman's hero. A man cheats on his wife with his work colleague. Right in front of his wife. Nothing stops the mistress, she calls him, glues him, and he is happy. He buys a gift for his mistress, while sitting at the Christmas tree with his wife and children (mmmm, how festive, delicious!)
That's all. 8 plot lines of the film with their brief description. Well how? It's very cute, isn't it? In a Christmas way! And most importantly, with such an important moral! If you fall in love, forget about obligations, forget about family, friendship, and conscience. After all, this is Real love. Feel free to change! Hurt your loved ones! True love has no barriers!
I'm so disappointed and angry. I honestly don't understand. People, tell me, maybe I really don't get it... Someone explain. You are welcome... Did you really like this story, which consists of continuous betrayal under the guise of a holiday? What's going on... How can this be romanticized... How can this be justified... I understand that love cannot be controlled, but what about the feelings of others? Is it possible to act so cruelly and selfishly with loved ones?..
