Mark (Andrew Lincoln) falls for his best friend’s wife, Juliet (Keira Knightley). The British prime minister (Hugh Grant) falls for a junior staffer. His sister Karen (Emma Thompson) suspects her husband (Alan Rickman) is having an affair. A washed-up rock star (Bill Nighy) learns the power of friendship. Richard Curtis’ fills his British Christmas rom-com with heart, humour, and holiday magic.

‘The movie’s only flaw is also a virtue: It’s jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs, until at times Curtis seems to be working from a checklist of obligatory movie love situations and doesn’t want to leave anything out.’ – Chicago Sun-Times
