Also, that kiss he shares with that Portuguese girl towards the end of Love Actually is one of the worst, most awkwardly acted (and framed, and edited) onscreen kisses in cinema history. Just an observation that comes up every time I think of Love Actually, because I get pumped when I hear the opening of "God Only Knows" but that is immediately quelled by the thought "oh man that kiss is just terrible".
