Bored actually! How Richard Curtis's Love Actually was SLATED by critics on its release, with the Hugh Grant vehicle branded 'a rather lengthy re-hash of all the things you've seen in Four Weddings, Notting Hill and Bridget Jones'

In the twenty years since it was first released Love Actually has established itself as a staple of the festive season.

For millions of Britons no Christmas would be complete without a screening of the film which stars Hugh Grant as prime minister in love with his secretary and Billy Nighy as an ageing rocker who will do almost anything for one last shot at the big time.

But the UK's film censors were less enamoured with the 'rehash' of a movie with one claiming they were losing the will to live while watching it.
