Christmas (and romance) are all around when you watch Love Actually online in 2021. Set in the weeks leading up to the holiday, the film weaves together several stories that touch on different kinds of love, ranging from a first crush to a heartbreaking betrayal to abiding friendship. And the bonus is that the vignettes are connected!
Love Actually features a huge ensemble cast of stars — some of whom were relatively unknown when they appeared in the movie. You've got established veterans like Hugh Grant and Emma Thompson, but also up-and-comers (at the time) like Keira Knightley and Andrew Lincoln.
One of our choices for the best Christmas movies — though admittedly there are some problematic elements — Love Actually is still a Christmas classic. And like other seasonal favorites, it's packed with great music. Watch Grant's Prime Minister bop to "Jump (For My Love)" to Joana belting out "All I Want For Christmas" at the school pageant.
