Various love stories leading up to Christmas Eve.
Multi-faceted, largely sentimental romantic comedy compendium, with romances ranging from the amusing and the powerful to the improbable, and cleverly skipping between each of them at quite an agreeable pace, with borrowings from Four Weddings and a Funeral, and an excellent all-star cast.
