Love Actually - Craig Armstrong - Soundtrack

It is not my cup of tea, and although the original song was no work of art, it is a classic in ...  Read the complete review

I got the dvd of the film, love actually, for christmas a few years ago. I loved most of the music on the film, and also loved the songs that had been released. There are some really good groups and singers on this album. So I went ahead and got the cd. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ About the film ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The film was a big hit back in 2003.
