[Uh … no. Not only is this a weird piece of advice for parents of adults, it’s creepier for parents of adolescents. There are any number of films that model better marital and dating relationships than one that features not just this soft-porn production scene but another relationship that attempts to romanticize the Bill Clinton-intern dynamic. “Love Actually” is a lousy movie on several levels, so families should treat themselves to better holiday fare than this manipulative and contrived dreck. — Ed]
