Music N' More: Love Actually

This is one of my favorite romantic comedy movies. It's really funny in the beginning because when me, my dad and sister first watched this movie and we seen the opening scene, we all looked at each other and said together "Hey look, Keith Richards!" The guy in the beginning acts just like him, lol!! Believe me, in my family, we have some kind of connection where one person will think something and someone else will say it.

Basically what this movie is about is it follows the story of 8 people and their romantic lives during the chaotic month before Christmas in London, England.

The scene where Kris Marshall's character Colin insults the caterer's food to her face was originally written as a scene for Hugh Grant in Four Weddings and a Funeral
Although Karen refers to David as her big brother, Emma Thompson is actually 17 months older than Hugh Grant
Directorial debut of Richard Curtis, who usually does British TV shows, like Mr. Bean
The name of the movie is taken from The Trogg's song Love Is All Around. The scene in the very beginning shows Bill Nighy's character singing a Holiday version of it.
Olivia Olson(Sam's crush) does all her own singing in All I Want for Christmas is You at the concert at the end.
In 2004, it was the most rented movie in the UK
The idea for Mark's surprise of the wedding band singing All You Need is Love at Peter and Juliet's wedding came from Jim Henson's funeral(which Richard Curtis attended) where all the puppeteers brought all the Muppets along and sung a song
The school used for the Nativity Concert at the end was Elliot School, in Putney, Southwest London, where Pierce Brosnan attended until he was 15
The vicar at Peter and Juliet's wedding was an actual vicar
The lake that Colin Firth and Lucia Moniz were "swimming" in was only 18 inches deep. It was also infested with mosquitoes and Colin's elbow swelled to the size of an avocado, requiring medical attention.
In the scene where the 3 American girls were undressing him, Kris Marshall returned his check for that day because it took 21 takes to do and he loved it
In the scene where Davidd addresses his speech to the press and talks about the good things from the UK, he mentions Harry Potter. Grant was supposed to play Gilderoy Lockhart in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets but left due to scheduling. And several Harry Potter actors appear in the movie:
