HOLIDAY MOVIE COUNTDOWN! #6

#6. Love Actually (2003)

Life is not a fairy tale; it's filled with good times and bad. When times get tough, people usually turn to those they love for support. As Hugh Grant states in this movie, "If you look for it, I've got a sneaking suspicion that love actually is all around."

Love Actually portrays the different lives of a group of couples in the weeks before Christmas. As depicted in the movie some relationships endure, others struggle throughout. Some miss out on their chance with others and some find comfort where they least expect it.

Love Actually is witty, entertaining and has you falling in love with most of the richly scripted and developed characters. If you're looking for a movie where everyone lives happily ever after, this may not be the film for you. But if you're looking to watch a romantic comedy that has a bit more truth to it than most, sit back, relax and fall in love with this engaging work of art.
