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.
Sorry if our line was firm but there's... no point in tiptoeing around today, then just disappointing you for four years. I have plans and I plan to see them through. Absolutely. There is one final thing to look at. It's very close to my heart. Just give me a second. I'll give you anything you ask for. As long as it's not something I don't wanna give.
Love Actually
Er, yes, Peter. Mr President, has it been a good visit? Very satisfactory indeed. We got what we came for... and our special relationship is still very special. Prime Minister? I love that word 'relationship'. Covers all manner of sins, doesn't it? I fear that this has become a bad relationship. A relationship based on... the President taking what he wants... and casually ignoring all those things... that really matter to, erm... Britain. We may be a small country but we're a great one, too. The country of Shakespeare, Churchill, the Beatles, Sean Connery, Harry Potter. David Beckham's right foot. David Beckham's left foot, come to that. And a friend who bullies us is no longer a friend. And since bullies only respond to strength, from now onward, I will be prepared to be much stronger. And the President should be prepared for that. Mr President.

The trouble with being the Prime Minister's... sister is it puts your life into perspective. What did my brother do today? He fought for his country. What did I do? I made a papier-mach� lobster head. What is this we're listening to? Joni Mitchell. I can't believe you still listen to Joni Mitchell. I love her and true love lasts a lifetime.

Joni Mitchell is the woman who taught... your cold English wife how to feel. Did she? Oh, well, that's good, I must write to her and say thanks. Which doll for Daisy's friend Emily? The one that looks like a transvestite... or the one that looks like a dominatrix? 'It's almost enough... to make you feel patriotic, 'so here's one... for our arse-kicking prime minister. 'A golden oldie for a golden oldie. ' Hold me I'll give you all that you need Wrap your love around me You're so excited I can feel you getting hotter Oh baby I'll take you down, I'll take you down Where no one's ever gone before And if you want more If you want more, more, more Jump for my love Jump in And feel my touch Jump, if you wanna taste my kisses in the night then Jump for my love I'll take you down, I'll take you down Where no one's ever gone...
