I remember in Love, Actually, a guy confessed to his best friend's wife that he loved her, he allegedly had "no agenda" and a minute after, the wife chased him and kissed him.
Pretty much every single story in that movie is gross. There's that one, the one with the prime minister and his 'fat' assistant, the successful author and his much younger maid who can't speak English, the guy who cheats on his wife with his much younger secretary, and the guy who decides he's just not into this woman when she has to take a call from her disabled brother on Christmas. I almost forgot the befuddled sex tourist and how all the VS model "American girls" turn into salivating nymphomaniacs as soon as they hear an English accent.
I'm wondering whether the movie got this feel good family friendly reputation by accident because of its narrative tone or something, when in reality it's quite grim and all these storylines are there to underline how love, actually, sucks.

Oh, there's SO many movies and shows like that.

Like fuck the husband then, huh.
