Hugh Grant 3 Film Collection (DVD) Description

Synopsis: Triple-bill of romantic dramas starring Hugh Grant. In 'Love Actually' (2003), Richard Curtis directs eight stories involving the love lives of more than a dozen characters, all brought together over one Christmas, from the recent widower Daniel (Liam Neeson), the failing marriage of Karen (Emma Thompson) and Harry (Alan Rickman), the aging rocker (Bill Nighy) who just wants to get paid (and laid if possible), through to the Prime Minister (Grant) falling for a member of Number 10's staff (Martine McCutcheon). In 'About a Boy' (2002), Grant takes the lead role as aimless, commitment-shy, thirtysomething Will in this adaptation of Nick Hornby's bestseller. Living on the royalties of a hit song his father wrote 40 years ago, Will drifts through life, moving from one relationship to the next with little lasting effect. But when he hits upon the new idea of dating single-mothers, he soon finds himself entangled with the suicidal Fiona (Toni Colette) and her 12-year-old-son Marcus (Nicholas Hoult). As he and Marcus gradually develop a friendship, Will begins to reassess the selfish life he has been living. Finally, in 'Notting Hill' (1999), Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) is the world's most famous movie star, whilst divorcée William Thacker (Grant) owns an ailing travel bookstore in his local neighbourhood of Notting Hill. One day Anna buys a book from William's shop and later collides messily with him on a street corner. She accompanies him home to clean herself up, and from there springs an unlikely romance. However, the path of true love is littered with obstacles, not least the media, the adoring fans and the differences in their lifestyles.Director: Roger Michell, Chris Weitz, Paul Weitz, Richard CurtisCast: Alan Rickman, Bill Nighy, Colin Firth, Emma Thompson, Laura LinneyRegion Code: 2 (UK & Europe)Cert: 15Format: DVD
