Corrected entry: When Jamie is going to see Aurelia again, he flies to Marseilles airport, which is of course in France. Then, when he goes to find her at the restaurant, all of a sudden he's surrounded by loads of Portuguese.
Corrected entry: When Hugh Grant decides to go the 'Dodgy End' to see Natalie he is driven in his car with a police car following, when he arrives in the street his driver stops in the middle of the road and there are cars lining both sides of the road. When Hugh drives the family to the concert the police car is now in front. How did it get past a car parked in the middle of the road with no room either side? Magic.
Correction: There's a chunk of time skipped - we jump straight to everyone being in the cars already. It's not a one-way street (note that at least one car is parked facing the direction Hugh Grant originally drives from), so there's plenty of time for a police car to drive around and come in the other end of the road.
Corrected entry: When Liam Neeson and his stepson decide to chase the stepson's girl, they see her in the school car park just getting into a car. They leave straight away, but somehow manage to end up so far behind that the girl manages to get to the airport, check-in with all her bags and get through the security checks before they arrive. Must have been a really bad short cut....
Correction: Liam Neeson and his son see Joanna get into her car from the front steps of the rapidly emptying auditorium. Then they have to fight through the mass of the rest of the audience to the car, then fight through that out of the parking area, then fight through the Christmas traffic evident around the airport and find a place to park. No matter how good the shortcut was, they would still be working from a significant disadvantage.
Correction: Joanna could have used the same shortcut (or a shorter, better one) and simply got lucky with traffic conditions.
Corrected entry: At the end of the movie, the Prime Minister exits through the same access door as all the "common" passengers. For security reasons he should have exited through another door, or, at least, be surrounded by bodyguards everywhere.
Correction: While it is fair to say that the PM has a certain level of security around him at all times, he is one of the few world leaders who still actually mingles with the people - unlike say the President of the USA. Therefore it's not unreasonable for security to appear minimal, because they are keeping their distance on purpose.
Corrected entry: When Jack and Just Judy go out for a drink it is Christmas Eve. They share an awkward kiss and he goes home. Yet shortly afterwards they are both arriving at the School Concert together - this is also Christmas Eve. The scenes are either back to front or the first date was not Christmas Eve and the title saying it was came up at the wrong time.
Correction: I had to see this movie a few times to kinda understand it, but the movie doesn't go from start to finish in one straight line. When Jack and Just Judy are kissing, it IS Christmas Eve, and they kiss, and that is the end of their night, but the Christmas concert is earlier in the evening, and they go to the concert, and then they are standing on Just Judy's doorstep afterwards. I still don't understand why they would be going to an elementary school's Christmas concert in the first place, but whatever, not for me to judge.
John's brother is going to the pageant, and invited John, who invited Judy.
Corrected entry: Why doesn't Emma Thompson acknowledge her brother in the airport at the end of the movie? Surely she must have known that he would be there that day (given that he is the Prime Minister and her brother).
Correction: She has already moved away from the gate at this point so she wouldn't have seen him then. Also, she may not have know what time he was arriving at Heathrow.
Corrected entry: When Jaime arrives at his family's house on Christmas eve he decides to leave almost immediately, and turns to walk out the door with the gift bags still in his hands. In the next shot, he is further out the door and his sister is now holding the bags.
Correction: There is enough time between shots for him to turn around, give the bags to his sister and walk off again.
Corrected entry: The small black board on the door of the kid's room is mounted practically as high as Liam Neeson's eye level; how can the kid possibly reach it in order to leave any one-liner?
Correction: There are plenty of ways that Sam could get to the sign. He could have a step stool in his room (like I did to reach higher shelves) or the bathroom (like my young cousins) to properly wash up and brush their teeth. Or he could simply stretch and reach to remove and hang the sign. I have to do this with two "Special" signs that I have to hang every day at work where the hang pegs are about four feet above my head. (Plus, the sign is barely at Liam Neeson's chest level.)
Correction: When he first meets Aurelia, he tries to talk to her in french, but the lady who has brought her to the house tells him that she is not french but portugeuse. Obviously she lives in a village where there happens to be a big portugeuse population, most of which seem to be her own family. At no point is he meant to have travelled to Portugal.
