Love Actually

(Note: This review refers to the Blu-ray version of the DVD.)

The directorial debut of British romantic comedy writer Richard Curtis is a star-studded Christmas comedy about love ... actually. The film skips through what seems like dozens of stories, following the romantic travails of everyone from the prime minister (a charming Hugh Grant) to a love-struck grade school kid and sketching ideas that only blossom into romantic heat in a few instances. It's a light holiday treat of romantic hors d'oeuvres, and a little spice provided by Bill Nighy as a washed-up rock star. Includes commentary, deleted scenes and featurettes.
