Synopsis

Love is: 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 you...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.

''The best ensemble acting this year so far.''
