Love Actually Is All Around
 
Introduction
'It seems to me that love is everywhere. It isn't big news - but it's always there. Fathers and sons, mothers and 
daughters, husbands and wives, friends and strangers..... I f you look for it, you'll find - I think - that love actually 
is all around us .... ’ 
It is not long before Christmas - a time for families, a time for love. 
Peter and Juliet are getting married, but not everyone is so happy. Jamie loses his girlfriend. Mark is in love with 
a girl who will never be his. Sarah's love for her brother makes it difficult for her to find a boyfriend. Harry's love 
for his wife, Karen, is going to be tested by a beautiful new employee. Daniel's wife has just died. Billy Mack, the 
ageing rock star, is alone after a lifetime of singing about love. And the new British Prime Minister is a very 
lonely man. 
So is love really all around us? Can these people find it? Is there enough magic in the world for everyone, even at 
Christmas? The film Love Actually (2003) stars Hugh Grant as the Prime Minister, Alan Rickman as Harry, 
Emma Thompson as Karen, Colin Firth as Jamie, Liam Neeson as Daniel, and many other famous British actors. 
It was written by Richard Curtis, who has also worked on other very successful films like Bridget Jones's Diary 
(2001), Notting Hill (1999), Bean (1997) and Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994).
