As a collection of stories, it had some decent-to-good ones (and some terrific actors) but the poor/weak storylines were terrible and should have been jettisioned. I think it only got made because Richard Curtis, the writer, was hot hot hot at that point. It's as if he had a dozen ideas for movies, couldn't complete a full script for any of them, and mashed them together into this one holiday-themed mess. I do like many of the performances which are worth watching as individual scenes (Bill Nighy as the rocker, with his manager; Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson, heartbreaking; Hugh Grant is amusing enough; Laura Linney's character is so pitiable). But it's the overall waste of a talented cast that's the huge pity there.
