The Kelces doing ‘Love Actually’ is the Christmas gift you need right now

Jason Kelce recently led the charge for the Grinch over “Love Actually,” the 2003 ensemble holiday film that has become a modern Christmas classic. (See the video below.)

On Tuesday’s episode of “New heights” podcast he co-hosts with Travis Kelce, the Christmas tale of multiple romances received a few choice brickbats from the football hero’s siblings.

“‘Love Actually’ might be the worst Christmas movie I’ve ever seen,” Jason Kelce said. “I don’t even know that’s up for debate.”

Said his younger brother, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end: “I didn’t feel Christmas at all during the movie. … I didn’t understand how much it was really connected to Christmas.” Despite that, Travis Kelce said he found the movie entertaining. (A cautious move, considering his girlfriend, singer Taylor Swift, once said so was her favorite movie.)

Jason Kelce, the retired Philadelphia Eagles center, said the movie has “the worst family values ​​ever attached to Christmas,” noting that one arc had a woman cheating on her boyfriend (Colin Firth) with his brother.

He also took issue with Firth’s character then finding love with a Portuguese housekeeper (Lúcia Moniz) despite a huge language barrier.

“These people fall in love with each other without being able to speak. What the hell are we talking about?” he said. “It was terribly unbelievable. … I prefer more of the Shakespearean love where they actually communicate and there’s some romantic interaction.”

His wife, podcaster Kylie Kelce, who had declared the film “one of my favorite movies, period,” sarcastically remarked of her husband, “he’s an advocate for communication.”

“He wouldn’t know romance if it smacked him square in the face,” she sneered.

Fast forward to 8:58 for the critical breakdown:

For those who might need to get up to speed on the film, here’s a taste of the trailer:
