Featuring: Hugh Grant plus too many famous people to mention...
Director: Richard Curtis (who also wrote the script)
Since it is almost Christmas, this year I decided to take a look at this off-beat British comedy. Back in the day, Leonard Maltin had the following to say about this movie:
"It seems as if every Brit from the prime minister to a fading rock star to a widower is falling in love..." Hence, the title which actually refers to the lyrics of the theme song "Love Is All Around Us".
It is impossible to give a summary of the plot here (just look at the picture below) as there are actually something like ten loosely connected yet fully independent story-lines, all taking place during the last few days before Christmas. However, in the end I found it all very charming and heart-warming with an amazing sound-track to boot. This is just the thing to watch with all those near and dear to you this time of year.
I rate it at a very merry 4 out of 5 stars. Cheers until next year!!
