I slightly agree with the rocker-richard 2002, even though I enjoyed this film. I say enjoyed, but I do skip certain parts of the movie when I watch it again. I always skip the plane section (Dull) and the ending (Dull and daft).
Tom Hollander isn't very good in this movie - I have since seen him in other movies and he is a fantastic actor - but in this he has no appeal, but then that may have been the point and the reason that Frank disliked him.
Frank and Lawrence were played very well, Lawrence played the faithful and loyal friend, the one they both enjoyed making fun off, Joseph Fiennes prortayed his character well and I felt for him.
Martha annoyed me immensly and I agree, I saw no "character growth" I thought her acting was very wooden.
Frank was a great character played by Rufus Sewell, Frank is hilarious and this was the first time that I had seen Rufus Sewell on screen.
Good film in parts but it did lack in storyline, I mean come on !! how many thirty something men do you know who have never had a fight before (especially men like Frank)
Oh and Ray Winstone was funny (But why didn't he ask why this strange man was at his house so early in the morning, if some stranger came into my house before my alarm had gone off I would tell them to get lost.

Ray did point out what time it was and that he'd been living there long enough that it was late to be welcoming him to the building but when Lawrence asked if they might have some tea, I guess he thought that'd be nice...
Englishmen are always up for a cup o' tea, right?! ;)
Hugh Grant and the director of Love Actually are heard preparing and enjoying some tea as they are doing their audio commentary for the DVD!
