The film then tells the 'love stories' of many people:
Billy Mack and Joe
With the help of his longtime manager Joe (
Gregor Fisher), aging
rock and roll legend Billy Mack (
Bill Nighy) records a Christmas variation of
The Troggs' classic hit "
Love Is All Around." Despite his honest admission that it is a "festering
turd of a record," the singer promotes the release in the hope it will become the
Christmas number one single. During his publicity tour, Billy repeatedly causes Joe grief by pulling stunts such as defacing a poster of rival musicians
Blue with a
speech bubble reading, "We've got little pricks." He also promises to perform his song naked on television should it hit the top spot. Mack keeps his word-albeit while wearing boots and holding a strategically placed guitar.

Colin, Tony, Stacey, Jeannie, Carol-Anne, Harriet and Carla
After several blunders attempting to woo various English women, including Mia and Nancy (the caterer at Juliet and Peter's wedding), Colin Frissell (
Kris Marshall) informs his friend Tony (
Abdul Salis) he plans to go to the US and find love there because, in his estimation, that country is full to the brim with gorgeous women who will fall head over heels for him because of his 'cute British accent'. ("Stateside I'm
Prince William without the weird family.") The first place he goes after landing in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin is an 'average' US bar where he meets Stacey (
Ivana Milicevic), Jeannie (
January Jones), and Carol-Anne (
Elisha Cuthbert), three stunningly attractive women who fall for his
Basildon accent and invite him to stay at their home, specifically in their bed, with them and their housemate Harriet (
Shannon Elizabeth) ("the sexy one").
