You've now got me thinking.
I've spent a good ten minutes trying to think of a more smug film.

And I can't. I thought Four Weddings might be a rival, but then I remembered that it's not all that smug, it just isn't fucking funny*.

I thought, perhaps, Independence Day might rival it, being two hours of loud-mouthed, godblessamerica, gung-ho bullshit. But no, it's just sufficiently over-patriotic to make me want to vomit the partially digested remains of Will Smith over every square inch of Hollywood.

But it did pose the question: who is more unforgivably smug? Hugh Grant or Will Smith?

(Oh, and I must also conclude that you're right: there is no smugger film than Love Actually.)

*_{Yes, Richard Curtis, you may have co-written Blackadder, but Four Weddings is two wasted hours of my life I'm never going to get back, you smug fucker.}
