I hate hate hate this movie, yet I own it and totally watch it when it comes on TV. Oh, but I hate it so much. HAAAAAAAAAAATE.
P.S. That Brazilian dude is crazy hot.

i totally hate this movie too and thought i was the only one! i have been redeemed.
however i do like reading this condensed version- the accents in my head are far less annoying!
Ultra-Condensed Movies: bringing people together through mutual hatred. Sigh.
You forgot the good part -the random Martin Freeman soft core porno scenes! Why was that in there?!?!?!?
The scene where the kid goes to the airport - I wanted to punch the TV screen. I've never seen anything so cloying in my entire life (besides every other scene in the movie). I feel a little sick thinking about it right now.
Wow, I can't believe I forgot those porno stand-in parts. SO RANDOM. I mean, we all love Martin Freeman, but seriously...what?!?!
I actually thought that was the only slightly genuinely funny part of the movie. But then when she was all "All I want for Christmas...is you" I threw up my Junior Mints.
If you want an interesting opinion on this movie, I would suggest reading the NY Times review of it. They're right, this movie is crazy misogynistic.

Wow, I've never seen this movie but I always had this idea that every person on earth loved it. How wrong I was!
Thanks for the read (much more fun than the film). I hate this film too and am heartened to read that I am not alone. It's that awful funeral scene with the Bay City Rollers 'Bye bye baby' that really gets me. That scene alone showed R Curtis was well and truly taking the p*s.
