Last night saw Love Actually on our screens and Irish Twitter turned up to basically rip the film asunder.
The schmaltzy romantic comedy, which follows several intertwining stories, has become a holiday favourite down through the years. Although, in fairness, you wouldn't know it by looking at these.

I think Billy Bob Thornton would have been totally within his rights to invade Britain after Grant's behaviour in this... #LoveActually

Also, that's terrible casting by Billy Bob Thornton. The guy from Sling Blade playing a dumbass American president? No, sir.

The most positive thing I took away from #LoveActually was Martin Freeman and all the HOBBIT PORN scenes. <3 pic.twitter.com/1YpOngEgNe

As a general rule, there isn't enough HOBBIT PORN in the world. Remedy that, Internet.

The security at Heathrow is shit, God help the UK if a speedy terrorist ever rocks up. They can't even catch a 10 yr old. #LoveActually

Literally everyone in #LoveActually wears a turtleneck at some point in the film.

This film is directly responsible for turtlenecks going out of fashion. Only now is the turtlneck industry beginning to recover.

There hasn't been a school concert ever in the world where the audience get up and clap along. #LoveActually
— Suzanne Azzopardi (@TheAzzo) December 16, 2015
Not only does this film have unrealistic expectations about relationships, it's also got unrealistic demands for school concerts.

Bloody hell De Valera really isn't himself in this film #LoveActually

Why doesn't Bryan Mills kill everyone who gets in his way and why is Watson doing porn? This is the strangest episode of Sherlock we've ever seen.

Professor Snape is a cheating bastard, BTW. #LoveActually
— Lauren Williams (@Eleanorbirdy) December 16, 2015
What would you expect? He's an international terrorist AND he's in Slytherin.

Your yearly reminder that Love Actually is shit and Richard Curtis is the antichrist.

Really.
