If you think about it, this movie is a small term paper on the different kinds of "love" one could find around us.
There is puppy love, love between parent and child (doesn't matter if it's a foster parent), love between siblings, lust that is mistaken for love, unrequited love, love being tested in a marriage, romantic love, and love between two aging friends who decide to stick by each other.
The movie takes us on a field trip to discover or get re-acquainted with these forms of love and the emotions that go with it: exhiliration, confusion, joy, anxiety and even pain.
Most of my favorite scenes here include Bill Nighy. I had hoped that the DVD would have a music video of the full version of "Christmas is All Around" that is separate from the movie. Sadly, it does not.
