I really liked this

Rating: Null/10 (30 November 2004)

This movie was great. It would have been a good one to see at the theater. The film follows several characters and what happens to them in the weeks before Christmas. It follows their love lives and some of the characters have interactions with each other at the end at a school Christmas play. There are some humorous and touching scenes. I particularly liked the washed up singer, Billy Mack, as he promoted his Christmas song all throughout the film. How could you not laugh when you see the music video and what he does when the song reaches number one. And my next favorite character was Hugh Grant as the prime minister who has the hots for one of his assistants. Then there are some more serious relationships between a husband and wife and two co-workers, who try to hook up but the girls crazy brother keeps interrupting them. Then the very sweet relationship involving Colin Firth as he falls for his non-English speaking helper. The other really funny guy was Colin Frissell who goes to Wisconsin to find some hot American girls. It's like Wisconsin, but he goes to a bar there and finds some LA looking women. Very funny.
FINAL VERDICT: I highly recommend it. It has a lot of great stories and is funny. And all the stories make sense in the end.
