Eight stories involving the love lives of more than a dozen characters are brought together over one Christmas and climax on Christmas Eve, from the recent widower Daniel (Liam Neeson), the failing marriage of Karen (Emma Thompson) and Harry (Alan Rickman), the ageing rocker (Bill Nighy) who just wants to get paid, through to the Prime Minister (Hugh Grant) falling for a member of Number 10's staff (Martine McCutcheon). The most heartwarming story is the father/son relationship of Daniel (Liam Neeson) and Sam (Thomas Sangster), who at first try to cope with the death of the boy's mother but who then find a bond in discussing Sam's crush on a girl at his school.

It's a feel good movie that takes a while to gather steam, but the film's pay off is well worth the trouble of getting to know all of the characters.And people are all different, some outgoing and extrovert, others shy and retiring, and many in between the two. This is not a film student's commentary, even though Curtis supplies several behind-the-scenes tidbits along the way.

I never thought I would say this but I think Love Actually may have actually (no pun intended) overtaken 'It's a wonderful life' to become my favourite Christmas film of all time.

Surprisingly, I would've liked to have seen more of each couple just to get to know them all more so the respective endings had a little more meaning.

From the new bachelor Prime Minister (Hugh Grant) instantly falling in love with a refreshingly real member of the staff (Martine McCutcheon) moments after entering 10 Downing Street. Boyfriends and girlfriends, husbands and wives, fathers and sons and rock stars and managers all combine to make Love Actually not just one story but ten very different ones.Also on tap are trailers for Along Came Polly and Peter Pan, Music of Love Actually with introductions by Curtis, and a music video for Kelly Clarkson's The Trouble With Love Is. He decides to use his special new gift to win the heart of the beautiful Mary, but finds that the course of true love can be hilariously difficult - even with the ability to try, try and try again. Es war nicht ganz einfacht, die Story vom "Phantom der Oper" in Paris konsistent weiterzuführen, und es gibt auch ein, zwei Dinge, die durch den zweiten Teil . There's more--too much more--as Curtis wraps his Christmas gift with enough happy endings to sweeten a dozen other movies.

I have grown to love this film, each time I see it, I seem to learn something more about love, (I know completely daft but that is how I feel)so much so that when my recording digital box deleted the film to make more space I was annoyed and quite upset. When I first saw this film at the cinema, my initial thoughts were the film was ok but not brillant.If you are in the North America, look out for US/Canadian flag icons on popular product listings for direct links.
