Against my will I remembered how damn charming Hugh Grant can be...he sort of plays the same guy but he is a charmer. I was struck by how strikingly differently beautiful Keira Knightley is (once again), how sensationally not-even-trying sexy Liam Neeson is, how classic Emma Thompson is. Oh, and Laura Linney, Colin Firth, Rowan Atkinson...and the kid who played the little boy was darling.

That matches my experience of Love, Actually. Avoided it for years then finally watched it because it came on tv and I was just in that mood...and really enjoyed it. I too had forgotten how charming Grant can be.
@ Wolf: what did you think of that? I found the Pertwee era a little difficult to get to grips with. Much as I love the actor, I didn't much like the feel of that era of Who. But I know a fair few Whovians who rate it very highly.
