There\u2019s Something About Movies host Alan Carr has voiced his opinion on Christmas classic Love Actually \u2013 and it may prove controversial among fans of the Richard Curtis romcom.<\/p>\n
Speaking to\u00a0RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press ahead of the There\u2019s Something About Movies festive special, the Chatty Man star described the 2003 hit as \u201calright\u201d when asked for his verdict on the film.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is what it is, isn\u2019t it? You want a bit of escapism,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s alright.<\/p>\n \u201cIs it dated? It\u2019s weird how It\u2019s a Wonderful Life, that doesn\u2019t feel it\u2019s dated, where I feel Love Actually does feel a little bit, it does feel a bit of a time gone by. Whereas It\u2019s a Wonderful Life still chimes with you. It\u2019s odd, isn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n Tom Allen, who is a permanent panellist on the Sky Max quiz show, added: \u201cYeah, it\u2019s funny. I suppose it\u2019s sort of reminiscent of that late \u201990s\/early 2000s and Tony Blair and stuff.\u201d<\/p> \u201cThat optimism,\u201d Carr replied, before joking: \u201cWhereas the film Nativity, people will be watching that in the year 3021 and still going, \u2018What a marvellous performance!\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cWho saw me as a bloody theatre critic and being so good at it?\u201d he said, as Allen added: \u201cInspired casting!\u201d<\/p>\n Carr appeared in 2009 Christmas musical comedy Nativity opposite Martin Freeman and Ashley Jensen, making his film debut as theatre critic Patrick Burns.<\/p>\n He has been the host of Sky\u2019s There\u2019s Something About Movies since 2019, appearing alongside comedian Allen and team captains Jennifer Saunders and Michael Sheen.<\/p>\n There\u2019s Something About Movies Christmas Special will air on Sky Max and NOW in December.
