Plot

Set almost entirely in London, England during five frantic weeks before Christmas follows a web-like pattern of inter-related, losely related and unrelated stories of a dozen or more various individuals with their love lives, or lack of them. The central character is the new bachelor prime minister David (Hugh Grant) who cannot express his growing feelings for his new personal assistant Natalie (Martine McCutcheon). The prime minister's older sister Karen (Emma Thompson) slowly grows aware of her husband Harry's (Alan Rickman) flirtation with an office worker named Mia (Heike Makatsch). Karen's friend Daniel (Liam Neeson) is a recently widowed writer whose 11-year-old son asks for love advice about a girl he has a crush on. Meanwhile, Jamie (Colin Firth) is another writer who leaves his girlfriend after catching her cheating on him and travels to France to write a novel where he pursues a possible romance with his non-English speaking Portuguese maid Aurelia (Lucia Moniz). Also, Harry's American secretary Sarah (Laura Linney) questions a romance she pursues with the office hunk Karl (Rodrigo Santoro), but her personal family problems get in the way. Other secondary characters involve a photographer who pursues his best friend's new wife Juliet (Keira Knightley), a pair of movie stand-ins, named John and Judy, who grow closer after their simulated love scenes, a libidinous chum who wants to travel to Wisconsin, USA to score with women, and a burned-out former rock star named Billy Mack (Bill Nighy) who is the main connection between all stories involved.

Comments

Delightfull Homage to Love, 29 May 2005 Author: Claudio Carvalho from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil In London, from five weeks before Christmas up to a month after Christmas, the lives of different persons are linked by love. The Prime Minister (Hugh Grant) and the member of his household, Natalie (Martine McCutcheon), his sister Karen (Emma Thompson), her husband Harry (Alam Rickman) and Harry's secretary, Mia (Heike Makatsch), Harry's employees, Sarah (Laura Linney), a woman with a serious problem in her life, and the designer Karl (Rodrigo Santoro), the writer Jamie Bennett (Colin Firth) and his Portuguese maid Aurélia (Lú,cia Moniz), the grieving widow Daniel (Liam Neeson) and his son, Sam, a porn actress and her colleague, the singer Billy Mack (Billy Nighy) and his manager, the just married couple Peter (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and Juliet (Keira Knightley) and their best man Mark (Andrew Lincoln), a British young man that travels to USA, trying to score women in that country. "Love Actually" is a delightful homage to love. There are different situations, some of them dramatic, others funny, sometimes touching but never corny. The interconnection of the stories has a perfect timing. The cast is a constellation, highlighting the shining beauty of Keira Knightley and the nice role of Hugh Grant. There are many wonderful moments, such as the collective interview of the Prime Minister and the American president, or the moment when Karen finds that her Christmas gift is a CD of Joni Mitchell, or when Mark declares his secret love for Juliet, or the relationship of Daniel and Sam, or when Daniel meets Carol, or when the manager of Billy makes a comment about Elton John, or the narration in off in the beginning of the movie. I believe I could list many other magnificent moments, but better off the reader of my review rent or buy the DVD and have a good time. My vote is nine.Title (Brazil): "Simplesmente Amor" ("Simply Love")
