Love Really: All of the questions now we have

The Christmas basic is fairly problematic, as we all know (Image: Common Footage)

Love Really has turn into a staple of the Christmas film calendar, not solely due to its all-star forged and festive really feel, however due to its many, many faults.

We’ve beforehand talked about how problematic the festive favourite is – from the fixed office harassment in just about each storyline to the fat-shaming – however on our seventeenth watch of Love Really, it’s painfully clear that there’s elements that make no sense in anyway.

We are able to droop disbelief in most Christmas films – for instance, the Moist Bandits would have been killed stone useless about 5 minutes into Kevin’s booby traps in Dwelling Alone – however for a movie set in the true world within the early noughties, we are able to’t present the identical leniency.

So, as we put together for a bumper film marathon in our PJs, armed with mince pies and a bottle of Baileys, we ask…

What would have occurred if Peter had answered the door?

Equal elements dangerous and creepy (Image: Peter Mountain/Common/Dna/Working Title/Kobal/REX)

Andrew Lincoln professing his love for Keira Knightley with placards and a boombox taking part in Christmas carols is probably the most parodied and mocked scene of the film, because of how goddamn creepy it’s.

Dude, she actually simply married your finest buddy, and Keira, the good unrequited love man act is an incel transfer, it’s not charming.

However what’s much more irritating is that this complete plan was based mostly on Keira’s character Juliet answering the door. If Peter (Chiwetel Ejiofor) had determined to inform the carol singers to bugger off himself, he would have discovered his finest mate standing there with an armful of playing cards asserting how a lot he covets his spouse.

After which there’s the truth that Peter would have needed to be silly sufficient to suppose {that a} completely pitched choir with backing music was at their door.

That may be a dangerous plan on Mark’s half, however that is the person that filmed his finest mate’s wedding ceremony video primarily out of close-ups of his spouse’s face, so we doubt he has a lot disgrace. 

Why did no person discover all of the musicians on the wedding ceremony?

OK, so Peter and Juliet had been wrapped up in one another’s eyes, however that was a reasonably compact church. 

So simply how did they not discover that not solely was half the congregation on the happiest day of their life made up of strangers, however that these strangers had been holding tubas and trumpets of their laps?

Most inconspicuous shock ever. 

How the hell was Sam not tackled within the airport?

As Hugh Grant mentions within the opening voiceover, Love Really befell submit 9/11 – two years after the tragedy, to be precise. 

Airport restrictions had been massively stepped up, and to today you continue to can’t get greater than 100ml of liquid via safety.

So, pray inform, how did the workers at Heathrow of all locations handle to let a baby get all the best way from the doorway to a departure gate? 

Even once they caught him, they merely pushed him out the gate and again to his dad, when in actual life, that will have resulted in an arrest or at the very least a nice.

Why did Natalie not file for unfair dismissal?

Hugh Grant’s Prime Minister David requested for Natalie (Martine McCutcheon) to be redistributed as a result of he fancied her and couldn’t include his emotions for her.

This could have resulted in a profitable unfair dismissal go well with. As an alternative, she apologised for being sexually harassed by the President of america within the office and dated him. 

Why is Karen so imply to Daniel?

Like anyone else with sense, we’re very professional staff Emma Thompson in Love Really, and her crying to Joni Mitchell after discovering her douche of a husband gave a necklace to a different lady is a intestine punch each single 12 months.

However now we have to ask, why is Karen so imply to her grieving buddy Daniel (Liam Neeson)?

The day after his spouse’s funeral, she’s telling him to cease crying over, you realize, the lack of the love of his life, as a result of ‘no person will s**g him’ if he acts like a ‘sissy’. 

Empathy.

Why was Mia instructed to plan a Christmas celebration with weeks to go?

Loads of the time, workplace Christmas events are held in November, however no, with three weeks to go, Mia is ready to discover a venue in central London and get all the workers there with out giving six weeks discover.

Positive, Jan.

And eventually… why are males like this?
