Love Actually is a Christmas-themed romantic comedy with an ensemble cast that includes such actors as Colin Firth, Kiera Knightly, Emma Thompson, Bill Nigh, Martin Freeman and Rowan Atkinson involved in 10 stories showing different aspects of love playing out at the same time and almost all interrelated. Popular music and some Christmas tunes help move the tales along while the various couples form, friendships are reaffirmed, families try to mend, and mostly happy endings are arrived at by all! Sometimes trying a bit too hard and with little surprises, Love Actually is a crowd-pleaser that's meant to just warm the heart and be a sweet, fluffy diversion awhile. Not for cynics.

Mistakes

Love Actually mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Juliet arrives at Mark's flat and brings banoffee pie with her, wanting to see the wedding video. She slips the video into the VCR and places the open pastry box on top of the TV stand. As she takes her jacket off the pastry box is gone, yet in the next shot of the TV the box is right next to the remote, which then changes position in the last shot when the remote disappears. The TV is in the center of the stand in some shots, but to the left of the stand in other shots. The video cassettes, etc., change/alter their position within these shots as well. (00:53:10)

Quotes

Karen: Tell me, what would you do in my position?
Harry: What position is that?
Karen: Imagine your husband bought a gold necklace and come Christmas gave it to somebody else...
Harry: Oh, Karen...
Karen: Would you wait around to find out if it's just a necklace, or if it's sex and a necklace, or if worst of all it's a necklace and love? Would you stay, knowing life would always be a little bit worse? Or would you cut and run?
Harry: Oh, God. I am so in the wrong. The classic fool.
Karen: Yes, but you've also made a fool out of me, and you've made the life I lead foolish too.

Questions

Question: Even if Karl and Sarah don't get together at the end, I couldn't see what exactly was stopping them?

Answer: It's because of the complications that Sarah was having with her troubled brother. Apart from that, who's to say they don't eventually get together?

Hamster ★

In the follow-up short film (the Red Nose Day special) we learn she eventually gets her happy ending with a man played by Patrick Dempsey.

Answer: The end of the movie is not the end of the story.
