Love, Actually Trivia Quiz

Answer: "Love is All Around" by The Troggs

The film opens with Billy Mack in the recording studio, creating his new single, a rip-off of The Troggs' hit song, with a version he calls "Christmas is All Around". The movie tracks Billy's progress with the single, appearing on radio interviews, television music shows, and elsewhere as he tries to promote it all the way to the No. 1 spot (past the single in the running by boy band, Blue, whose poster he defaces on live TV). Somehow, Billy always manages to make things difficult for his manager, but in the end the two of them come to the realization that their platonic love for one another is what gets them through it.

While Billy and his manager have no clear connection with any of the other characters in the film, his song and TV appearances can be heard and seen in the background of the movie.

Answer: Portuguese

The first time we see Jamie, he's leaving to attend a wedding (along with several of the other characters). He kisses his girlfriend on the cheek and heads out. Returning home, he finds that she's been cheating on him with his brother. He goes to his house in France to write his new book and begins to fall in love with his Portuguese housekeeper, Aurelia. Often times, the two of them talk to each other in their respective languages, not knowing that they are either in agreement or angry with one another.

When Jamie returns to London, he starts taking Portuguese lessons and travels to her hometown to find her. The two are seen together at Heathrow Airport in the end of the film, after their encounter in France (involving her Portuguese family and most of the people at the restaurant where she is employed).

It turns out that she has been learning English too.

Answer: Claudia Schiffer

While Daniel and Sam are both clearly heartbroken by the loss of their wife and mother, the two of them stick it out together, relying on each other's company to get through the holidays. At one point, Daniel tells Sam that he knew his love life would be over some day if Sam's mother had passed on, but if he ever met Claudia Schiffer, he'd have to reconsider (as per a 'deal' with his wife).

In the end of the film, Daniel meets a mother at a school play (played by Claudia Schiffer) and the two are seen together at Heathrow Airport in the epilogue of the film. Daniel is connected to the web of characters in the film by Karen (played by Emma Thompson) who is both married to Alan Rickman's character and the sister of the British Prime Minister (played by Hugh Grant).

Answer: The United States

Daniel prepares Sam for this 'horrible thing' called love by giving him advice. In the meantime, Sam learns how to play drums and impress the American girl of his dreams in time for the school Christmas concert (which is attended by many of the film's characters).

When Joanna belts out her rendition of "All I Want For Christmas is You", she steals Sam's heart before she departs for the airport. Daniel helps him out by driving him to Heathrow to say one last goodbye and the two (with the help of Rowan Atkinson's character) are able to stop Joanna at the gate. Sam gets the kiss he wanted and she returns to Britain in the epilogue.

Answer: Milwaukee, Wisconsin

After a number of failed attempts to get women in Britain, Colin tells his friend Tony (Abdul Salis) that he's going to go to America to find the perfect woman. When he arrives at a bar in snowy Milwaukee, Wisconsin, he falls into the arms of a number of beautiful girls (played by Elisha Cuthbert, January Jones, Ivana Melicevic and Shannon Elizabeth).

They invite him to stay with them - of course, they only have one bed in their house, so they all need to share and none of them can afford pajamas (only in Milwaukee...).

When Colin returns to Britain in the epilogue, he appears to have brought a fifth girl (played by Denise Richards) back for his friend.

Answer: Nude stand-ins for the lead actor and actress

Although a bit of a demeaning job for the two of them, John (played by Martin Freeman) and Judy (played by Joanna Page) seem to be two of the most timid people ever. The two are quaint and polite, despite their job, and they hit it off well, talking comfortably in between and during erotic takes.

While their relationship is left to itself at the end of the film, the two seem to be the proper match for one another. They both appear at the Christmas play at the end of the film, as members of the audience.

Answer: Mia

Mia (played by Heike Makatsch) does her best to seduce Harry in the office and eventually, he does crack. Though he's happy with his wife, Karen, and his two children, his curiosity gets the best of him and he shows many signs of weakness in the weeks leading up to Christmas.

When he decides to buy a necklace for Mia, Karen finds him nearly purchasing the item from the jeweler (Rowan Atkinson) at the mall. She later finds a necklace in his jacket and pretends she knows nothing about it. Anticipating the gift on Christmas Eve, she opens the present to find he actually purchased a Joni Mitchell CD for her.

When they bring the children to their play in the end of the film (where their daughter plays 'the first lobster' in the manger scene) she gets him to admit that he was a fool.

While the two of them stay together in the end, their scene at Heathrow airport shows that the situation is still a bit unsettling for them both.

Answer: Michael

While Sarah has that whole inter-office relationship side story, she is also the one who has to leave it behind for family love. Sarah and Karl finally get together and go to her flat for the night but she's constantly interrupted by her brother, Michael, as he keeps calling on the phone from his institution. Karl asks her to stop answering the phone, but she decides that she can't say no to her brother.

The two of them still work together, albeit under more strained circumstances.

Answer: Prime Minister of Britain

David (who is also Karen's brother) has just been elected as the Prime Minister of Britain and although he is a great leader, many can't figure out why he isn't married. He falls for his personal assistant, Natalie, and while many of the others in 10 Downing Street describe her as fat, David can't get over her.

When she is forced to leave Downing Street, he tracks her down, based on the street where her family lives and the two decide to have a quiet night at a children's play (coincidentally the one his niece and nephew are in).

When the curtain is lifted towards the end of the play, David and Natalie are found kissing behind it. In the epilogue, it is clear that the two are inseparable. David returns from a trip and is pounced upon by Natalie at the gate, much to the delight of the paparazzi.

Answer: Newlyweds

The first time in which Juliet and Peter are seen, is at their wedding, and some of their closest friends and relatives are attending. Peter's best friend, Mark (played by Andrew Lincoln), pulls out all the stops as his best man and films the event. Some time later, Juliet visits Mark regarding the video, since the professionals they hired for the wedding did a bad job.

It is then that she realizes that Mark has been in love with her for some time, and has always kept himself at a distance because of his feelings. On Christmas Eve, Mark arrives on their doorstep and presents Juliet with a message (on large cue cards) without Peter knowing.

As he leaves, she gives him a kiss and returns to her husband. The three of them are seen in the end of the film at Heathrow, picking up Jamie and Aurelia.

While Peter and Juliet are still together, Mark is trying to cope for all of their sakes.
