In the 2003 film Love Actually, who wrote and directed the movie?

Richard Curtis wrote and directed the 2003 film Love Actually.

The romantic comedy is structured as a series of interconnected stories set in London during the weeks before Christmas. Its characters include the British prime minister, a writer recovering from heartbreak, a newly married couple, and several families and friends dealing with love, loss, and friendship.

Love Actually was Curtis’s directorial debut. Before making it, he had written successful British comedies including Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, and Bridget Jones’s Diary. The ensemble cast includes Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Keira Knightley, Colin Firth, and Liam Neeson.

A common mix-up is crediting Mike Newell, who directed Four Weddings and a Funeral, or Roger Michell, who directed Notting Hill. Curtis wrote both of those films, but he directed Love Actually himself.
