About this deal

Ten years after its release, the smash hit movie from the makers of ‘Notting Hill’ and ‘Four Weddings and A Funeral’ continues to spread joy all around, warming people’s hearts, getting better, richer and funnier every time you see it. A few ended too abruptly or with little fan fare, but the bulk of the plots are wrapped up in such a way that it's impossible not to smile. I never really bought Hugh Grant as the Prime Minister, but his unlikely and funny relationship with Natalie (Martine McCutcheon) added a spark to the film.

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. Luckily, the opening scenes for each story are short but slowly become a bit longer and more involved, so by the middle of the film I found myself caught up in the lives unfolding on screen.

There is a great scene in the film which you have probably already seen in an internet meme and that's Hugh Grant (who plays the British Prime Minister in the film) dancing to 'Jump (For My Love)' by the Pointer Sisters.

These London lives and loves collide, mingle and climax on Christmas Eve-again and again and again-with romantic, hilarious and bittersweet consequences for anyone lucky (or unlucky) enough to be under love's spell. Love Actually:Audio Commentary with Richard Curtis, Hugh Grant, Bill Nighy and Thomas Sangster; Deleted Scenes With Introductions by Richard Curtis; Music Highlights; Christmas Is All Around Music Video; The Storytellers.

All star cast including Hugh Grant, Bill Nighy, Colin Firth, Liam Neeson, Emma Thompson, Rowan Atkinson and Alan Rickman. Even at a deliriously happy moment when she is becoming intimately acquainted - for the first time - with a shy colleague from work. I found myself enjoying two storylines in particular, both of which have a touch of humor to make them a bit more fun than the strict romance storylines of several of the others.

There's more--too much more--as Curtis wraps his Christmas gift with enough happy endings to sweeten a dozen other movies. All that really needs to come through clearly are the voices and the music, both of which fit the bill perfectly.If you are in the North America, look out for US/Canadian flag icons on popular product listings for direct links. 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). 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. To a new bride (Keira Knightley) mistaking the distance of her husband's best friend for something it's not.

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.A wayward husband woos his secretary, only to learn how foolish he is, while the Prime Minister falls for his servant. In the process, it sidesteps comparisons to the original by simply going off in a different direction, and works well because of it.
