All rights reserved.| Movie Description Written and directed by Richard Curtis and produced by Duncan Kenworthy (the team behind NOTTING HILL and FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL) this zingy British comedy weaves a vivid crazy quilt of interlocking or unrelated vignettes all dealing with the subject of love over the Christmas holidays in London. The big name cast includes Hugh Grant as a prime minister who falls for a staff member, Liam Neeson as a widower counseling his son in the ways of romance, Laura Linney as a shy woman working up the nerve to ask out a coworker, Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman as a couple faced with infidelity, and Colin Firth as a writer who falls for his Portuguese maid. Additionally, a pair of porn film stand-ins bond on the set, an artist fantasizes about his friend's wife; and perhaps funniest of all, an aging rock star (Bill Nighy) tries for his comeback with a Christmas novelty song. The likes of Billy Bob Thornton, Rowan Atkinson and Denise Richards turn in cameos, helping making this film a throwback to those all-star, multi-plotted comedies of the 1960s and '70s, such as IT'S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD (1963), NASHVILLE (1975), and CALIFORNIA SUITE (1978). With Curtis' comedic credentials and the star wattage of pros like Grant, Neeson and Thompson, LOVE, ACTUALLY is a laugh-packed affair, with more than a few tears to be shed along the way, and a startling amount of bawdy raunchiness.

Top Reviews Review created: 09/27/05 by: 4 of 7 people found this review helpful. “Love Actually” is one of my favorite romantic comedies. It doesn’t cheap out by being overly gooey and takes advantage of its R rating to actually give us some blunt advice about relationships. With ten interlocking stories, it’s not perfect. It’s about impossible to keep that many stories and characters interesting in 135 minutes. I can think of two of the subplots that could easily have been discarded that would have made for a stronger film. The stories that do work, however, make up for the downtime. If you are a fan of movies like ‘Shortcuts’, ‘Magnolia’, etc. that weave multiple stories together, you may want to give it a view though it’s a different movie entirely. I would recommend it as something you and your significant other can watch together for an enjoyable evening. Review ID: 10000000000004585 Was this review helpful?

Superb actors, so the film is full of great performance. My husband and I watch this movie every X-smas and always when we need some encouragement in our life.
