A man has shared the nightmare of his first ever viewing of Love Actually in an hilarious Twitter thread.
Now, Richard Curtis' 2003 film starring Hugh Grant and Kiera Knightley - among others - is regarded by some as a Christmas classic, but it's clearly not for everyone.
Some have pointed out the strange age gap between Kiera Knightley and Andrew Lincoln - Knightley was just 18 years old when the film was released - as perhaps a bit weird, but there's a whole host of other stuff to look at, and that's exactly what comedian George Fox did.
He started off by saying: "My girlfriend made me watch the movie Love Actually for the first time ever last night and I would like to discuss what an absolute f***ing unceasing nightmare every single scene in it is.
"WELCOME TO MY TED TALK..."
He starts off by taking aim at Grant's character, the Prime Minister of England.
George ranted: "One of the main characters is your normal every day ACTUAL PRIME MINISTER OF BRITAIN. And his storyline is he wants to do the tea lady at Number 10.
"He literally just moved in and wants to pork the help and it is never framed as anything but the upmost rOmAnCe!?!"
Next up, he roasted Liam Neeson's story arc.
He continued: "Next up we have Liam Neeson whose wife just died. Leaving him to raise a stepson alone. In an early scene he breaks down crying and EMMA THOMPSON says "Get a grip, people hate Sissies.
"No-one's ever gonna s**g you if you cry all the time." This is THE DAY AFTER THE FUNERAL!?!"
As for Colin Firth: "Oh hey did you find the Hugh Grant storyline creepy? Well guess what. They have a completely different character with the EXACT SAME STORYLINE except this time the hired help CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH.
"WHAT F***ING NIGHTMARE IS THIS FILM!?!?"
So, there's a theme developing here. The film contains some serious British acting royalty, but none are safe from the acerbic criticism.
George went on: "Next up is Alan Rickman, whose secretary is a f***ing creep who should be fired on the spot but instead he buys her an expensive necklace?
"Emma Thompson finds the necklace and cries. OH DEAR EMMA THOMPSON STOP CRYING NO ONE WILL WANT TO S**G SOMEONE WHO CRIES ALL THE TIME!
"May I loop back to tell you that Colin Firths story ends with him PROPOSING to his cleaner that he has never had a single conversation with.
"Actually he first asks her father who thinks he is selling his daughter into slavery and IS TOTALLY FINE WITH THAT.
"This is hell."
Yeah, he really doesn't like this film, does he?
He concluded: "Finally we come to the absolute WORST part of the movie. Andrew Lincoln turning up at his best mate's house to tell his mate's wife he is in love with her, while his mate is in THE NEXT ROOM. This is after he spent their wedding filming his own w**k bank tape of her. I HATE IT.
"Not only has this AWFUL scene been unjustly turned into some modern icon of grand romantic gesture, but I also just found out TONIGHT that Keira Knightley was only 17 when this was filmed.
"What. The. Absolute. F***."
"Ban this film. Burn the negatives. Bury it in the ground. Salt the earth.
"THIS HAS BEEN MY CHRISTMAS TED TALK FOR 2020. THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT."
Wow, tell us what you really think, why don't you?
