About Love Actually
Written and directed by Academy Award® nominee Richard Curtis (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Bridget Jones's Diary and Notting Hill), Love Actually is the unforgettable holiday classic from Universal Pictures/Working Title that has had audiences laughing, crying and hugging since it first premiered in the U.S. in 2003. Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Laura Linney, Keira Knightley, Emma Thompson, Martin Freeman, Andrew Lincoln and Bill Nighy lead an illustrious all-star cast that charm and delight in this heartwarming romantic comedy about eight couples whose lives intersect shortly before the holidays. The film's hilariously unpredictable plot examines how love inspires experiences that are alternately exciting, unexpected and unequalled. Since its debut 18 years ago, Love Actually has become a new holiday classic, and according to Entertainment Weekly, “one of the great Christmas movies” of all time.
