Love Actually is not a new romantic comedy it is 10 new romantic films in one. Set in contemporary London in the two months before Christmas it weaves together a series of touching and hilarious stories, which end in not one, but lots and lots of romantic climaxes on Christmas Eve. Love Actually is actually short for Love Actually Is All Around and that is the argument of the film - that everywhere you look, love is the driving force in people's lives. From prime ministers to ageing rock stars, from a stony headmistress to a monolingual Portuguese housemaid, the film looks at funny, sad and stupid sides of love in all shapes and sizes.
