My wife is obsessed with "Love Actually". I don't really get it, but I have now
been forced to watch watched the movie a dozen times.
Fun fact: the relationships from Love Actually are meant to convey the many types of love. For example: love at first sight, unrequited love, infatuation, etc.
There are at least a dozen forms of love depicted in the movie:
Marital Love: Keira Knightley marrying her hubby
Unrequited Love: Keira Knightley and her husband's best friend
Love at First Sight: Hugh Grant (the Prime Minister) and his tea and biscuits server
Workplace Love: John and Judy, the standins for the sex scenes that fall in love while working together.
Familial Love: Liam Neeson and his (step)son deal with the grief of losing Mom
Physical Love: Colin (the British guy) comes to America to get up on hot girls from Wisconsin.
Long Distance Love: Colin Firth and his Portuguese helper:
Sacrificial Love: Laura Linney giving up her crush on her coworker to be with her institutionalized brother.
Cheatin' Love: Alan Rickman being tempted by his secretary.
Infatuation: Liam Neeson's stepson having a crush on the best singer in his class
Taken-for-Granted Love: Emma Thompson about to realize that her husband (Alan Rickman) is having an affair
Platonic Love: Bill Nighy (the rock and roll singer) and his manager:
(I thought these two were actually secretly in gay love, but Wikipedia says that it's platonic, so it must be true. Apparently, straight men like to get drunk and watch porn together.)
I've experienced 9 out of the 12 forms of love (as defined by Love Actually)... how about you?

0 - Love is non-existent as a general definition and only exists merely in the minds in which contemplates them.
Also, wikipedia is not a credible source.
i got 7 out of the 12... though it could soon be 8 <3
Only four of them.
12. i do not think that is very good...
7! if your including lesbian love :)
@laurenmaureen@xanga - She's not married in real life, just in the movie.
All but 5 of them.
I prefer watching porn alone..
Some people just cant stop talking when watching porn.
Love that movie!
Hilarious post...I love Love Actually just like your wife does...and I forced my boyfriend to watch it with me.
Never ever trust Wikipedia
It's gay to watch porn with a best friend? Only if you touch eachother.
A good 6 or 7.
I always tell people there are different kind of loves,
yet they never quite understood or held the belief there is
only one sort of love.
About time someone else sees it as I do.

Interesting post! Love is wonderful in every situation!
