I believe this made it on my list of favorite films.  Love Actually is one of those movies that just clicks with me, despite the seeming contradictions associated with a guy who writes about zombies, crooked cops, and the end of the world. I was just in a deli wherein the radio was playing “Wherever You Will Go” - a song that I would otherwise castrate as a sub-par Matchbox 20 ditty (the band is apparently called The Calling) - and I immediately recollected its inclusion in the film. If I should ever find myself back in the position of writing an ensemble rom-com, Love Actually will certainly be my template.  Additionally, as I’ve said before, each of the storylines included in the picture could’ve been individual films in their own right.  Ergo, if I don’t go the ensemble route, perhaps I’ll just steal one of those.
