Just finished watching Love Actually.
Question:
Am I the only person in the English-speaking world who finds it depressing to sit in front of this film and witness – first hand – the quality of writing that Richard Curtis produces?
His scripts are so annoyingly… excellent.
Writing like that… it shouldn’t be allowed.
What hope is there for the rest of us, as long as Richard Curtis continues to produce writing of this standard?
Even if the RomCom genre isn’t your bag and you don’t like this film, you have to appreciate the standard of writing that went in to building this brilliant piece of entertainment.
Bastard!
Shouldn’t be allowed. 🙂
B.
I agree.
I know that there are working class heroes out there who find Curtis’s Notting Hill set comedy infuriating but he is simply one of the best writers in the world today. He produces the sort of consistency that one usually only sees coming out of a whole stable of HBO writers over the pond.
Apart from his classics like Four Weddings and Love Actually (to name but two) you also have the fact that he co wrote one of the best ever English sitcoms i.e. Blackadder. Yep, he makes me sick.
