Model Direct's favourite Christmas Rom-Com, 'Love, Actually'<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Last year\u2019s Clothes Show Live Christmas Survey revealed that 1 in 3 men prefer rom-coms to action movies during the festive season. So we thought it only appropriate to give you some ideas. Read on for our top 3 Christmas rom-com movies\u2026<\/p>\n

The Holiday, 2006<\/strong><\/p>\n

Loved by practically everyone here at Models Direct \u2013 including the men \u2013 The Holiday has quickly established itself as a Christmas classic. From the Director of \u2018What Women Want\u2019, this festive film unites the best of the UK and US as it follows two women troubled with guy-problems – played by Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz. But, when they swap homes in each other’s countries, they each meet a local guy \u2013 played by Jack Black and Jude Law – and fall in love. \u201cThe Holiday is about leaving your baggage behind and opening your eyes to what\u2019s in front of you and what you\u2019re really feeling,\u201d said Jude Law.<\/p>\n

Four Christmases, 2008<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next on our list comes US movie Four Christmases. Think \u2018Meet the Parents\u2019, but at Christmas, this rom-com plays out around a theme that unfortunately the vast majority of us can relate to \u2013 divorce. The \u2018slapstick\u2019 plot follows Vince Vaughn and Academy Award winner Reese Witherspoon who play a couple pressured into visiting all four of their divorced parents’ homes on Christmas Day. Sound familiar? \u201cThis is a movie about the universal theme of the holidays: anxiety. Holidays, home and family have a way of bringing us back to our roots and exposing our vulnerabilities like nothing else. Which, of course, is fertile ground for comedy,\u201d said Director Seth Gordon.<\/p>\n

Love, Actually, 2003<\/strong><\/p>\n

The team behind Notting Hill and Four Weddings and a Funeral brought us this Christmas rom-com over 7 years ago now, and it\u2019s still one of our models<\/a>\u2019 favourites. A star-studded cast including Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Laura Linney, Emma Thompson, Bill Nighy, Alan Rickman and our favourite romantic actor Colin Firth, make up a series of individual storylines all dealing with love over the Christmas season in London. Billy Bob Thornton, Rowan Atkinson and Denise Richards also appear in cameos, making this multi-plotted comedy number one on our list. \u201cLove, Actually is a laugh-packed affair, with more than a few tears to be shed along the way, and a startling amount of bawdy raunchiness,\u201d said LOVEFILM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
