...matter how many critics bash this movie, chances are that hordes of romantics are still going to go see it, even if “Love, Actually” is ten times better. Though the latter film has as big an ensemble cast, it somehow manages to connect to a viewer, likely because the movie’s plot does not unfold over such a limited time-span...

"You know, I'd have to come down in one of those yellow baskets if that happened to me," said a wisecracking announcer. Naturally, replays of all the crashes conveniently popped onto the big screen at the bottom of the hill, where the crowd was gathered to watch the event...
