Hollywood Reporter's Kirk Honeycutt writes: "Curtis
imbues his tales of broken hearts and ecstatic

optimism that sweeps the viewer up."

of BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY, MR. BEAN, FOUR WEDDINGS AND
A FUNERAL)
CAST Colin Firth, Laura Linney, Liam Neeson, Hugh
Grant, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Denise Richards
General opinion's starting to make out that we live in
a world of hatred and greed - but I don't see that -
seems to me that love is everywhere.
Igniting laughter, wreaking havoc, breaking hearts,
daring commitments, forcing choices, catapulting
spirits, forging inroads, creating risks-ecstatic,
exciting, unexpected, unwelcome, inconvenient,
inexplicable, inelegant, unequalled.
Acclaimed screenwriter RICHARD CURTIS steps behind the
camera for his directorial debut on his latest
project, Love Actually-the ultimate romantic comedy
that weaves together a spectacular number of love
affairs into one amazing story.

--
DIRECTED and WRITTEN by Thomas McCarthy
CAST Peter Dinklage, Patricia Clarkson
Finbar McBride (Peter Dinklage) wants to be left
alone. But at four foot five, fading into the crowd is
an almost impossible task. Fin has responded to the
unsolicited attention that his condition attracts by
choosing a life of separation, alone with his one
passion: trains.
When Fin finds his isolation threatened, he retreats
deeper into his self-contained world by taking up
residence in an abandoned train depot in rural New
Jersey.
But much like the station agents that occupied small
town depots before him, Fin finds himself, however
reluctantly , enmeshed in the lives of his neighbors. A
close call with an SUV introduces Fin to Olivia Harris
(Patricia Clarkson), a forty-year-old artist
struggling with the recent death of her young son and
the subsequent breakup of her marriage. The hot dog
stand next door is run by Joe Oramas (Bobby Cannavale)
an inquisitive thirty-year-old with a talent for
cooking and an insatiable hunger for conversation.
