Here's Where You Can Stream Love Actually This Holiday Season
It's that time of the year when families get together, exchange presents, eat a big meal, and are likely to watch a movie or two as things die down. One film that's always likely to get plenty of viewings over the holidays is the 2003 Christmas-themed romantic comedy "Love Actually."
Written and directed by Richard Curtis, "Love Actually" is in fact a kind of epic rom-com set during the weeks leading up to Christmas that focuses on 10 different interconnected love stories. Some end very happily and with big grand romantic gestures, and some have more bittersweet denouements leaving characters not quite satisfied. Lovers embrace, tears are shed, and naturally, there is a big production of "All I Want for Christmas Is You."
Starring Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, and Keira Knightley among the huge ensemble cast, the film was a box-office hit and has become a Christmas classic over the years, even if critics have debated its messages about relationships. Fans and newcomers, then, may be curious about where they can stream "Love Actually" this holiday season.
Love Actually is being rereleased in theaters for its 20th anniversary
Long gone are the days when it was impossible to find "Love Actually" on a streamer. This holiday season, you can watch the cameo-packed rom-com on Netflix.
If you don't have Netflix, you can rent "Love Actually" on demand from Amazon Prime, Google Play, iTunes, the Microsoft Store, Redbox, Spectrum, Vudu, or YouTube or buy it from any of these services except Spectrum. Of course, you can also purchase a copy of the holiday-centered romantic comedy through physical media, such as DVD or Blu-ray.
Perhaps most exciting of all, "Love Actually" is returning to theaters this year in celebration of its 20th anniversary. The 4K restoration of the film will be playing worldwide, with shows in the United States and Canada, where it will be released on Friday, December 8, including a 10-minute introduction featuring its most iconic moments.
