Synopsis

Unforgettable, ungettable, regrettable, ecstatic, exciting, unexpected, unwelcome, inconvenient, inexplicable, inelegant, unequalled.

Love actually is all around.

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...
To a writer (Colin Firth) escaping to the south of France to nurse his broken heart who finds love in a lake...
From a comfortably married woman (Emma Thompson) suspecting that her husband (Alan Rickman) is slipping away...
To a new bride (Keira Knightley) mistaking the distance of her husband's best friend for something it's not...
From a schoolboy seeking to win the attention of the most unattainable girl in school...
To a widowed stepfather (Liam Neeson) trying to connect with a son he suddenly barely knows...
From a lovelorn American girl (Laura Linney) seizing a chance with her long-tended, unspoken office crush...
To an aging "seen it all, remember very little of it" rock star (Bill Nighy) having a stab at an end-of-career comeback in his own uncompromising way...

Love is causing chaos for all.

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 examines eight separate but intertwining tales of love, grief, discovery, longing and disappointment with romantic, hysterical and bittersweet consequences for anyone fortunate or unfortunate enough to be under love's spell.

Acclaimed screenwriter RICHARD CURTIS (FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL, NOTTING HILL, BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY) now steps behind the camera for his directorial debut on his latest project, LOVE ACTUALLY - the ultimate romantic comedy that weaves together a spectacular number of love affairs into one amazing story.
