As the film blurb says, "Follows the lives of eight very different couples in dealing with their love lives in various loosely and interrelated tales all set during a frantic month before Christmas in London, England." A delightful series of mini stories that stands any number of repeat viewing, particularly Jamie (Colin Firth) and Aurelia (Lucia Moniz).
Favourite bit:
Firth can't speak Portuguese, Moniz can't speak English.
Firth in English: It's my favourite time of day, driving you.
Moniz in Portuguese: It's the saddest part of my day, leaving you.
Scene is helped enormously by the fact that Moniz is looking gorgeous in an off the shoulder blanket.
Mike's view:
Top writing, top acting, great idea and most of the stories end happily ever after.
