About the movie:
Follows the lives of eight very different couples in dealing with their love lives in various loosely and interrelated tales all set during a frantic month before Christmas in London, England.

Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Love Actually (2003)?
a.
Thomas Brodie-Sangster
didnt know how to play the drums when he was cast. Fortunately for him, his father,
Mark Sangster
, plays the drum and taught Thomas how to play them. Thomas discusses this in the DVD commentary.
b.
Original author
P.L. Travers
was adamant that in the film there should be no suggestions of any kind of romance between Mary Poppins and Bert. This is explicitly referenced in the song "Jolly Holiday".
c.
In the beginning of the film, we see a reference to
Powers Boothe
showing up at the Emmy Awards ceremony to collect the award he had won for playing Jim Jones in the middle of a Screen Actors Guild strike. Although
Nick Nolte
was not nominated for an Emmy that year, everything else shown about the incident really happened in September, 1980.
d.
According to MapQuest, Atlanta to Texarkana is 665.2 miles, with an estimated travel time of 10 hours, 43 minutes (21:30 round trip). Atlanta to Boston is 1089 miles with an estimated travel time of 17 hours, 31 minutes. If driven the whole way, it would require an average speed of 121 miles an hour to do it in the 28 hours mandated by the "double or nothing" but the terms of the bet didnt specify how they were to get to Boston and certainly not how to return so they could have driven to the airport and bought round-trip tickets.
