But now Richard Curtis's star-studded film Love Actually has been attacked in a volley of hate comments from young, woke critics who have lambasted it as creepy, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic and even fat-shaming.
One critic describes Love Actually as an 'icky depiction of multiple mediocre men being vile to female characters and generally having their behaviour rewarded'Last year The Mail on Sunday told how woke youngsters had called for the hit film Grease to be cancelled – describing it as 'racist, rapey and slut-shaming'.
After Love Actually was this year repeatedly shown on both ITV and Netflix in the run-up to Christmas Day, youngsters took to social media to say how they thought the plot revolving around Miss Knightley's character Juliet was creepy and romanticises stalking. One user cited the moment Mark arrives at Juliet's front door with a series of signs proclaiming his love for her, saying: 'The Love Actually door sign would be a lovely one if it wasn't so damned creepy.' Another said: 'There is a stalker who is romanticised.'
