Some questions and thoughts:
- Karen stays with her cheating husband, right?
- As someone whose husband cheated on her, Karen’s storyline hits very hard.
- Harry sleeps with Mia in exchange for the necklace?
- Why why why couldn’t poor Sarah not answer her brothers call to make love with her longtime crush?
- Colin and the American girls never gets old!
Just rewatched last night for the first time in several years and enjoyed it.
Harry did sleep with Mia, the director confirmed it via Twitter several years ago. Also confirmed that he and Karen stayed together but were never as happy as they once were. I found that storyline very sad now, approaching a similar phase of life. The director also said that the guy played by Mr. bean was supposed to be an angel- taking too long to wrap the necklace so that Harry could be dissuaded from his poor decision, and appearing at the end of the movie in the airport at security giving Sam an opportunity to break through to the gates.
Such a great cast. Comin forth, Hugh grant, Liam neeson, Alan rickman, Laura linney, Keira knightly
Also broke my heart that Sarah didn’t make it work with Kyle, though he didn’t seem particularly understanding.
Lastly, the cue cards/poster boards that the guy showed to Keira knightley… that scene gets me every time.
Things that didn’t age well: the constant remarks about Natalie’s weight, and the other fat jokes in the movie.
