We bought this video in a batch on sale because my wife loves Hugh Grant, and I think he's a decent actor. Not only didn't we regret the purchase, we needed a second copy because the first was wearing out from so much usage!
The various story lines are very cleverly woven together. Each vignette stands alone, yet is connected in a "Butterfly Effect" way with others, so that we see the protagonists in one story being supporting characters in one or two others. This one is the friend of that one. That one works in the other one's office. That one's child attends the same class as some other child with his own story. (The "first love" tale is sweet.) And so on. Most of the acting is bang on, too.
The thing is that with so many plots, there's something for everyone and for every mood; if it has to do with Love, you'll find it in Love, Actually. One caveat, there is a homosexual relationship that was cut, and which you need to watch in the Deleted Scenes. I wish it had been kept in, because it deals with a dying lover, which no other story line has. (Though there is a story line with Liam Neeson about finding love again after the death of one's beloved, which is close. And brilliantly done - he's a great actor in my book.)
