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.

Continuity mistake: After Sarah has called at Harry's office, Harry prepares to open his office door to see her out. The camera cuts back to Sarah for a moment, then back to the camera angle on Harry as she walks to the door. In that short space of time, the sliding cupboard doors have changed their configuration, and the blinds in the upper left of the frame have partially closed. (00:18:45)

Natalie: Hello, David. I mean "sir." Shit, I can't believe I've just said that. Oh, and now I've gone and said "shit" - twice. I'm so sorry, sir.
Prime Minister: It's fine, it's fine. You could've said "fuck", and then we'd have been in real trouble.
Natalie: Thank you, sir. I did have an awful premonition that I was going to fuck up on the first day. Oh, piss it!

More quotes from Love Actually

Trivia: Billy Bob Thornton agreed to appear in the movie without having seen the script. On the day of shooting he told director Richard Curtis that he was scared of Benjamin Disraeli's facial hair, and as such wouldn't be able to do the scene in Ten Downing Street because there was a picture of him on the wall. Curtis told him to keep his back to the picture throughout the scene, which he does, although you'll notice he looks quite nervous.

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?
