Love Actually is a Christmas-themed romantic comedy with an ensemble cast that includes such actors as Colin Firth, Kiera Knightly, Emma Thompson, Bill Nigh, Martin Freeman and Rowan Atkinson involved in 10 stories showing different aspects of love playing out at the same time and almost all interrelated. Popular music and some Christmas tunes help move the tales along while the various couples form, friendships are reaffirmed, families try to mend, and mostly happy endings are arrived at by all! Sometimes trying a bit too hard and with little surprises, Love Actually is a crowd-pleaser that's meant to just warm the heart and be a sweet, fluffy diversion awhile. Not for cynics.

Karen: Tell me, what would you do in my position?
Harry: What position is that?
Karen: Imagine your husband bought a gold necklace and come Christmas gave it to somebody else...
Harry: Oh, Karen...
Karen: Would you wait around to find out if it's just a necklace, or if it's sex and a necklace, or if worst of all it's a necklace and love? Would you stay, knowing life would always be a little bit worse? Or would you cut and run?
Harry: Oh, God. I am so in the wrong. The classic fool.
Karen: Yes, but you've also made a fool out of me, and you've made the life I lead foolish too.
