Love Actually is All Around
Love Actually is a romantic comedy film that looks at love in all it's various guises. With comedy, tragedy, love and hope it helps to counteract the feeling of hopelessness caused by 911 and the Wars being waged around the world.
It is one of the best movies I have ever seen. After watching this film you will see love all around wherever you look.
I believe that the world would be a better place if we turned off the nightly news and looked for and showed our love for eachother instead. I challenge you to look around to see that Love Actually is all around.

'lf you look for it, l've got a sneaky feeling
you'll find that love actually is all around.'
Love Actually renews your faith in humankind.
Everyone should own and watch Love Actually.
The first time I watched this movie I thought it was very funny and heart warming and oddly that I wanted to watch it again. The second time I watched it I noticed that it described various relationships formed by love.
Now that I have watched it nearly a dozen times I find more and more intricacies in the plot lines and in the forms of love shown.
This film renews my faith in humankind, gives me hope for the future and inspires me to show my love for those around me.
Everyone needs to own the DVD. Share it with friends. Laugh, love and renew your faith in humankind.

Love Actually has the Most Romantic Men
The Men of Love Actually

Who is more romantic?

mrscookie says:
Oooh tricky one. I think the Prime Minister because he takes a big risk going after the "tea lady" and doesn't really seem to care when they get found out at the panto. (I still love Colin Firth though!!)

Jaime
BigGirlBlue says:
Oh, this is so tough. The whole proposal scene with Jamie and Aurelia was incredibly but the Prime Minister going door to door looking for Natalie (who is incredibly beautiful) was touching too. But I'm going to go with Colin Firth.

The scene when they're in the water and saying the same thing but don't realize it. Then he goes and learns her language. That's truly romantic!

Love Actually is All Around
Love can Actually be found all over the world
Martin Luther King's Dream is still alive. Though forces try to defeat peace, brotherhood and love of mankind. Movies like Love Actually help us to realize that there is still that spirit that Martin Luther King saw in people. Invite your friends and family to join you in watching Love Actually again and help to refocus on the love that brings that Dream life.

The world is most definitely full of love, but some people would rather look for the hate. I know that I am surrounded by love, but like most people I have to stop and remember it sometimes

Hugh Grant Lends Cancer Awareness
You might think all Hugh Grant can do is star in romantic comedies, but you'd be wrong he can also rock the sauce out of some pretty serious charity action. Indeed, Mr. Grant will lend his support to the British charity, Marie Curie Cancer Care beginning this Saturday. Hugh got an up close and personal look at the group when they helped his mother battle pancreatic cancer in 2001.
He says, "Mum was very determined - as apparently most people are in her situation - to die at home and it simply wouldn't have been possible without them. She was in quite a lot of pain and very weak and needed 24-hour care. They were just incredibly discreet and good humored, and above all, astonishingly kind."
Grant will help launch the Marie Curie Great Daffodil Appeal which encourages people throughout the UK to give donations for daffodil badges and wear them during the month of March!
