One of my all time favourite films. I love watching this around Christmas time because it always leaves me in such a Christmassy mood. I think Hugh Grant plays the role of Prime Minister very well in this movie and I always laugh at the part where he is listening to the radio and a song that I forget the name of comes on and he starts dancing. It's so funny when he gets really in to it and he is under the impression that he is on his own and noone can see him and the shock he gets when he sees one of his assistants is standing behind him, watching him. There are many different story lines in the film and in most cases it would never work properly and the person watching would probably not be able to keep up with all the different things going on, but in Love Actually they are all in some way linked and it works extremely well. Like for example how Emma Thompson who in the film is having marriage problems and is dealing with her husband haing an affair is the Prime Minister's sister, so it all links in. I really liked the use of many story lines because it kept me really interested in the film. I would definitely recommend this film as it is outstanding.
