    Twenty years since its release, Love Actually, Richard Curtis’s 2003 Christmas classic, continues to stir up both affection and controversy. Bill Nighy’s portrayal of washed-up rock star Billy Mack, bashing his own festive rendition of “Love Is All Around,” captures the film’s self-aware humor. The star-studded cast takes us on a two-hour rollercoaster of love stories, deemed improbable, questionable, and downright daft by some. The movie faces an annual grilling for its unrealistic depictions of love, questionable character choices, and outdated jokes, with critics and even some involved in the film weighing in on its flaws. Yet, despite the changing times from dial-up internet to Apple’s iPod era, Love Actually maintains its status as a Christmas classic that sparks both nostalgic joy and spirited debate.
