- Title: Love Actually
- IMDB: link
Written and directed by Richard Curtis, Love Actually is a celebration of love. More than that, however, it’s a celebration of movie love.

Adrienne Shelly‘s final film is a tribute to her writing, directing and acting ability, and a bittersweet reminder that this is the last piece of pie on the counter. Savor each bite.
Trapped in a loveless marriage to a complete jerk (Jeremy Sisto), Jenna (Keri Russell) discovers she’s pregnant. Far from bringing her joy however, the news just makes her more sullen and sad as she sees nothing but an empty future
