Most recently I watched the film Bridget Jones's diary, I look at the cover of this film, I immediately notice two familiar faces. What a coincidence.
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

For me, this is one of the most Christmas, touching and romantic films. And even though I know the plot by heart, it still brings me to tears every time)
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.

I recently reviewed it many years later - a wonderful film for the post-New Year holidays, creates a wonderful mood. There is a place to laugh, cry, and be wise...

PS: in an alternate universe, Professor Trelawney and Professor Snape turned out to be married...:-))))

I love this movie at the same time and at the same time I don't. The thing is that not all the plots from the film respond in the soul. I would cut out some of the stories boldly. But I still watch it often, because I love Colin Firth and his sweet love story, I like the story of the prime minister and the secretary, as well as a boy in love with a classmate, and also a rock star who makes you laugh with his antics throughout the film. I'm reviewing it for them.

I watched my favorite movie again. I'll never forget watching it for the first time when it first came out- it was incredible! A lot of intersecting plots, the brightest constellation of actors, English humor, a kind Christmas atmosphere!
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...

I read the comments and am very surprised that the film has found such a vivid response from people. Because, unfortunately, I have one impression - I was brazenly deceived by the words of a kaleidoscope of funny and touching love stories on Kinopoisk. A film without which it is impossible to imagine Christmas. After all, if there are funny moments (the story of a rock star), if there is something touching (the story of a little boy), then most of the stories make you want to cry and be indignant. Mostly, of course, from the story played by Alan Rickman..

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.

@vampironok666: For me, too, it was a one-time Christmas movie. Yes, it's very sweet at times. I liked the line with the Prime Minister the most) To be honest, I didn't really understand these unexpected inserts with the history of porn actors or whoever they were. It's like this whole family, Christmas movie, and suddenly these scenes seem out of place. I liked that in the end all the stories seemed to come together in this school performance. But still, this movie didn't touch me as much as, for example, "Exchange Vacation," which I've probably watched 10 times already.

@Iridescent19: funny coincidence: after watching Real Love, I went and watched vacation for the first time in my life) And so it turned out to be the most touching film with a couple of love stories. 💜

"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
And I liked the movie) it's kind, easy, and even if not all stories have a happy ending, real life isn't always a fairy tale. Kinopoisk released a trailer for Bridget Jones' diary after the credits, so I'm going to watch it) Hugh Grant is wonderful)

Rave reviews, high rating... I am in the deepest state of shock, reading the positive comments and seeing the high marks. Is this some kind of parallel reality? Is this a prank? A social experiment? What's going on?! WHAT A HORROR

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?..

@George_Lightwood: I'll correct you on point 6: the writer was cheated on by his wife at the beginning of the film, immediately after the kiss (with his brother), and only then did he leave to write a book and meet a foreigner, but in general the essence is the same - "real betrayal"

@Sibilla29: even better. I couldn't remember the names, so I thought she was referring to his brother in that scene. They say, let's go quickly, before your brother returns. Underestimated the movie! Double treason in one point. Well, that's fine
