This Movie Gets Me Every Time

there really are not a whole lotta movies i can watch over and over and again and again, but "love actually" has a sweetness to it that isn't sappy and a smartness that makes me smile and laugh every time i see it. what's really interesting is that i'm not one for holiday movies, especially ones full of christmas music, but i'm positively in love with this flick (sans the laura linney and emma thompson story lines). everyone including emma is fabulous, and it's one of the few hugh grant movies where he truly shines.

and for a non-mushball like me, i can say this--love is, actually, all around us.
