Love actually (Love is actually all around) - Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Emma Thompson, Richard Curtis

Threat advisory: High - High risk of entertaining activities

Movie propaganda

Very romantic. Very comedy.

Igniting laughter, wreaking havoc, breaking hearts, daring commitments, forcing choices, catapulting spirits, forging inroads, creating risks-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 re-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 junior manager (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) jonesing for an end-of-career comeback in his own uncompromising way.

Love, the equal-opportunity mischief-maker, 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 bitter-sweet consequences for anyone lucky (or unlucky) enough to be under love's spell.
