With over a dozen main characters, the movie follows eight couples that are all at different stages of relationships and dealing with different relationship issues. Some couples are right for each other, some are not. The audience is taken along for the ride as each couple navigates a unique set of challenging waters.

Filmed in London during Christmastime, the characters are all linked in one way or another. The plot depicts the sometimes tricky situations of life and love.

The majority of the cast was comprised of British actors. Although the film was well received in Britain, it was given mixed reviews in the U.S. Regardless, it received several nominations, including Best Screenplay and Best Motion Picture and won an Empire Award for Best British Film.
