Plot summary  & Comment:

Set in contemporary London in the weeks before Christmas, "Love Actually" tells one story which weaves together a spectacular number of love stories --sometimes romantic, sometimes sad, someetimes stupid -- all fun in their own way. Everywhere you look, love is causing chaos. From the new bachelor Prime Minister who falls in love with his secretary within the first thirty seconds meeting her to a loser sandwich delivery guy who doesn't have a hope with the girls in the UK; from a schoolboy with a crush on the prettiest girl in the school to his architect step-father with a crush on Claudia Schiffer. These London lives and loves collide, mingle and finally climax on Christmas Eve -- again with romantic and funny consequences for all.

Actually I didn’t expect the movie to be a really good one before I went to the cinema. But it turns out to be the best of the year in my opinion. It is full of love, warmth and tears. It can truly reflect the main theme of the movie” Love Actually is all around us.”

It’s a great date film and wonderful romantic comedy with great multi-segmented stories about many characters and how all their lives are connected. Most films fall on their face when they try to do this but this one keeps you spinning and guessing all the way through to the conclusion. The result is hilarious. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone who’d love to see a story that captures the pain, joy and soul-destroying beauty of Love.
