Love Actually
Love Actually is a 2003 romantic comedy film written and directed by Richard Curtis. The Christmas film features an ensemble cast, composed predominantly of British actors, many of whom had worked with Curtis in previous projects. An international co-production of the United Kingdom, United States, and France, it was mostly filmed on-location in London. The film delves into different aspects of love as shown through 10 separate stories involving a variety of individuals, many of whom are interlinked as the plot progresses. The story begins five weeks before Christmas and is played out in a weekly countdown until the holiday, followed by an epilogue that takes place in the New Year. The film was released in the US on 14 November 2003 and a week later in the UK during its theatrical run. Love Actually was a box-office success, grossing $245 million worldwide on a budget of $40 million. The film received mixed reviews and a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. A made-for-television short film sequel, Red Nose Day Actually, aired in two different versions on BBC One and NBC in 2017.

Hello. What the hell are you doing here? Oh, I just popped over to borrow some old CDs. The lady of the house let you in, did she? Yeah. Lovely, obliging girl. - Yeah. I thought I'd pop back and see... if she's better. This is good. Oh. Listen, erm, I've been thinking. I think we ought to take Mum out for... her birthday on Friday. What do you think? I just feel we've been bad sons this year. Sounds fine. A bit boring but fine. Hurry up, big boy. I'm naked and I want you at least twice... before Jamie gets home.
Love Actually
I've worked out why I can't find true love. Why is that? English girls. They're stuck up, you see. And I am primarily attractive to girls... who are cooler, game for a laugh. Like American girls. So I should just go to America. I'd get a girlfriend there instantly. What do you think? I think it's crap, Colin. That's where you're wrong. American girls would dig me... with my cute British accent. You don't have a cute British accent. Yes, I do. I'm going to America. Colin, you're a lonely, ugly arsehole. Accept it. Never. I am Colin, God of Sex. I'm just on the wrong continent, that's all. Bit of quiet... while we finish the lighting, guys. The traffic today was just... - Unbelievable. Judy, could you take the top off this time? Lighting need to know when we're gonna... see the, erm, nipples and when we're not. Yes, OK. Right. At least it's nice and warm in here. Not always the case, is it? I was standing in for Brad Pitt once... on Seven Years In Tibet... Yes, yeah. - Bloody freezing... Guys, time's tight... and we have to get the actors in. Fine. - I promise I won't look.
