Synopsis:
I’m not really a big romantic comedy guy, but I’m an ESL teacher so whenever I have a class that has more girls than boys, a romantic comedy is often chosen for our reader/movie. We’ve done Four Weddings & A Funeral, Notting Hill, The Notebook, Me Before You, La La Land and more. It has given me a greater appreciation for the genre and how difficult it can be to get right. By far, the most popular of the ones I’ve done is Love Actually, which also doubles as a fun Xmas movie. None of the various plotlines would be strong enough to sustain a whole movie, but together, they all make for a pretty classic rom-com/holiday film.

Intentions:
The problem is a subplot involving an ugly Brit who wants to travel to America to have sex with Yanks who love his accent and another subplot intertwined with it about an extremely wholesome romance between two body doubles for porn films. The actors are very charming, but there’s nothing to it beyond the ‘joke’ that they perform sex on camera. However, the sex tourist story is just lame and unfunny on every level. Quite understandably, these two plotlines were cut from the Penguin Reader adaptation of the movie, but it has required me to stop and start the film to cut around the porn scenes whenever we’re doing it.

Change List:
Well, I got tired of doing that so I downloaded Davinci Resolve and snipped those scenes out myself. The characters still show up at the airport at the end though because my audio editing skills are not nearly good enough yet. Plus, their presence still works as another example of Hugh Grants’ opening monologue about how Heathrow Airport is full of disparate people showing love for each other. I've included English subtitles for this edit, but, since I’m not going to need it until next Christmas, I haven't checked them yet for accuracy. In the meantime, if anyone would like a link, please let me know in a PM. Be aware that this is NOT a PG-13 cut of the film. There’s still plenty of swearing, F-bombs, and a few naughty bits that my students don’t care about, but your hyper-conservative grandma might still take issue with.
