love, actually, is all around us... so goeth the opening line of this holiday flick about love, lust, loss, new love, old love, unexpected love... joy, sorrow, weakness, strength, surprise. there were stories within stories culminating in only two degrees of separation instead of the proverbial six. without actually telling the story, i will say it was a funny, tearful, bittersweet, heart-fluttering, thoroughly enjoyable ride that did not quickly leave my thoughts. the fact that some of my very favorite players were in this movie probably equaled the story in charm. needless to say, bill and i enjoyed our pre-christmas movie date. i expect the dvd will be promptly added to my collection upon its release. :-)
{contains the usual language, inuendo and several flashes of nudity one finds in romantic comedy these days - take it or leave it}
