A Definitive Ranking Of Love Actually Characters
This time of year is reserved for a few things in particular: drinking egg nog (spiked or otherwise), listening to seasonal music of the modern age and yesteryear, and, sure, spending time with family. So while surrounded by a lot of people eager to get into the Christmas spirit, one activity is essential (and has been since 2003): watching Love Actually—the holiday film that has spawned so many pale and incompetent imitators since.
And with a parody of one of its most iconic scenes in last week’s Saturday Night Live, it’s officially Love Actually season. So what better way to kick it into full gear than ranking the film’s many, many characters, from worst to best? In this spirit, with a hot seasonal beverage in hand—and because, at Christmas, you tell the truth—sit back and enjoy the truest ranking of Richard Curtis’s Love Actually characters. There are so many storylines in this thing that we’ve decided to limit it here to 20. So please, feel free to let me know any and all grievances with this list: I take Love Actually very seriously.
