Another wander around the Notting Hill, Love, Actually neighbourhoods of London.  There are amiable characters, oddball characters, downright eccentrics, characters unwillingly caught in the rat race and characters who have sexual problems (actually, that is most of them except for a sensible, maybe over-precocious young girl). 

Some of them have sexual identity problems, one in particular.  This is Rachel who glances at the woman who has prepared the flowers for her wedding and is, although at first she does not realise it, smitten.  What happens?

Should it all be live and let live?  Should it be follow your heart?  But what about the abandoned partner or spouse?  Does the older generation offer example and security?  Are there any moral issues.

Piper Perabo is the bewildered bride (coming at this issue rather late in life one might have thought).  Lena Headey is the charming florist.  Matthew Goode is the (too?) kindly husband.  The option is follow your heart, but this is all set in a kind of fairytale world where a Graduate-like ending, with each woman standing on top of a taxi in a traffic jam in the City of London, does not fully answer the questions which need to be asked.
