    • Trivia
      When casting the part of Sarah, writer and director Richard Curtis auditioned a great many British girls, but kept saying, "I want someone like Laura Linney." The casting director eventually snapped and said, "Oh, for fuck's sake, get Laura Linney then." Linney then auditioned and got the part.
    • Goofs
      When Jamie revisits Aurelia, a Marseillaise cab can be seen at the airport, yet everyone in the city seems to understand Portuguese. This can be explained, however, by a large Portuguese community in Marseilles, who live in a common area and would be the ones who understood the language.
    • Quotes

      [neither understands the other's language]

      Jamie: [in English] It's my favorite time of day, driving you.

      Aurelia: [in Portuguese] It's the saddest part of my day, leaving you.

    • Crazy credits
      The list of the cast in the opening credits are arranged alphabetically according to their first name.
    • Alternate versions
      There are two instances of switched music between the UK and US versions of the film. In the UK version, the montage introducing the office Christmas party is set to "Too Lost in You" by Sugababes, while the US version of the film replaces it with "The Trouble With Love Is", performed by Kelly Clarkson. Then, during the second half of the end credits after the Clarkson song plays (for the second time in the US version) the UK version concludes with a cover of "Jump (For My Love)", performed by Girls Aloud. This song does not appear at all in the US version, which concludes with the Sugababes song that the UK version used at the party. The 2009 US Blu-Ray actually contains the UK cut of the film, while the original US DVD had the US cut.

    Real love actually
    "Love actually" is a nice movie. You can see love in different ways, observe people's feelings, and understand what people can do for their loved one.

    It also has a pretty good cast. This film follows the lives of eight very different couples. With it you can believe that a miracle really happens, because someone can even fly to another country, learn another language, just to see their love, to ask to get married knowing that she can refuse.

    So, It's romantic, funny and everything happens at Christmas. I highly recommend watching this movie, especially if you can watch it with your loved one. It will bring you a good Christmas mood and you will enjoy it!
