'It's amazing the way it's entered the language,' Bill Nighy told Sawyer. 'It expresses all these different complicated types of love that we all long for, can experience or have identified with.' But I think the reason is, is that it's so human,' said Martine McCutcheon, who plays Natalie, the woman who falls in love with the Prime Minister. I mean, it's been decades now, I can't believe I'm old enough to even say that. 'I am surprised just how long this film has been in everybody's hearts. The film's stars are continually warmed by the love for their film.

Well worth the watch.Thomas Brodie-Sangster talks to Diane Sawyer about the 20th anniversary of the movie 'Love Actually.' (ABC News) Definitely a film that every romantic heart should see, and even if you don't have that romantic heart, like me, you'll still enjoy yourself. It's truly heartfelt and I especially enjoyed the child's love story. It's not a hard movie to like, like a lot of romantic comedies. My favorites were Liam Neeson and Bill Nighy, but each and every cast member was terrific. The cast includes Bill Nighy, Colin Firth, Alan Rickman, Emma Watson, Keira Knightley, Liam Neeson, and Hugh Grant amongst others and each actor lends a different piece of the huge puzzle that is being pieced together. All the seemingly different story lines converge upon each other on Christmas Eve at a school Christmas musical. The relationships vary from married couples to friends to a child's first love, but all keep the same theme even if there's a different tone to each of them.

The film follows very different relationships in England around Christmas. The big cast and multiple story lines made the film feel a lot shorter than its over two hour runtime. It's a romantic comedy centered around the Christmas holiday and it's one I thoroughly enjoyed. It was never one I was excited to watch, but by circumstance I did and I'm happy I did. Love Actually is a film that surprised me. Let's go get the shit kicked out of us by love. It is a feel-good movie and bound to be criticized, but it's ok to feel good once in awhile :), and this is certainly one of the better done romantic comedies. The shots in London are gorgeous, and the comic relief provided by the aging rocker Bill Nighy is funny. The overall theme of the movie, that 'love actually is all around', even though we often focus on the incidents of hate in the world, is inspiring. The movie is filled with all those little moments we can identify with - secret longings, flirtation, and first kisses - but also those that are bittersweet, and those that disappoint us.

Hugh Grant the Prime Minister going door to door to find the sweet and sometimes foul-mouthed Martine McCutcheon. Thomas Sangster, the little boy, talking to Liam Neeson about the 'total agony of being in love'. Colin Firth watching Lúcia Moniz walk out of his life, and then later both of them learning each other's language. Andrew Lincoln's card scene with Keira Knightley. There are just so many wonderful scenes and lines.

Weaving through so many story lines could have left the viewer confused and unsatisfied with any of them, but director Richard Curtis pulls the right strings and keeps us entertained from beginning to end. It's not perfect or anything, and probably gets a little too syrupy towards the end, but it's romantic, funny, and the star-studded cast is outstanding.
