this should have been kept in, i love how you see more interactions with emma thompson and alan rickman amd see that mia knew he was married and even met his wife and that makes it all the worse when she finds out at the end
I agree. Although she knew it's different that she actually met his wife and saw what a lovely human she was, it makes her manoeuvres even more heartless.
Emma Thompson is glorious what a fantastic scene. Just shows how harsh editing can lose brilliant moments like this. The kid is excellent. I’d rather they’d have kept it in, in just makes the betrayed even more cruel. She’s a lovely parent. Miss Alan R.
Well, we've actually fell in love with L.A. even in an abridged form, right? So finally having an extended cut is a superb present to fans, allowing us to have another fresh look. Like, have you ever envied people who got to read your favourite book for the first time? ;)
The problem with love actually is it has like an hour of deleted scenes. You should see how much of the storyline they cut out between Liam neilsons character and the son…
I thought that too when the film first came out on Video. I was so excited to see Emma and Alan in another film together. So when i saw these in the deleted scenes i was sooooo disappointed they weren't shown.
"Don't be rude, I invested a lot of time and emotion in that bottom." I nearly choked on my coffee!!! It is hilarious and heartbreaking sweet at the same time.
I have never seen this movie, but I like how the Mom says "May I have a word with my son outside?" and then they end up leaving the building without saying anything to the people waiting for them to return to the office.
I believe they couldve worked out a way to put this in, this shows a different type of love, which i felt wouldve been important to point out, as love isnt just romantic love. I understand its a romantic comedy, but knowing the direction of this movie about how "love is all around" this wouldve been beautiful. It was also very funny.
If they cut everything up to the headmistress's office, and shortened the teacher's dialogue, they could have squeezed the scene in. Everything up to the office visit is unnecessary and even offensive, IMO.
The thing I love about this scene is that I actually, prior to ever seeing this, have also fantasized about what life would be like if farts came out as little blue bubbles. Glad to know I’m not alone.
This montage is on the film's DVD. I must have watched it 50 times over the last 20 years, and it makes me both laugh and cry uproariously every time. Merry Christmas to all!
I am a huge fan of the film. But to delete this scene is criminal. A wonderful interplay and unexpected out turn, Thank you for sharing and brightening my day.
Deleted scenes were included on the DVD I watched many years ago. I have no idea whether this was a selection of, or all the deleted scenes. I would love to see a long version with the deleted scenes restored to their appropriate locations - even if it took it to three hours or more. I can't help but wonder if this deleted scene made it to the Palace and, if so, how it was received. With side splitting laughter, I would hope. The thought of Trump trumping as he went in front of her late Majesty would give a new dimension to her expression at the time.
The joys of the writer also being the director. Knew he would have to cut lots of scenes for theatrical release but could include them all again on home release package...
I'd have been in hysterical laughter on reading that, irrespective of what the teachers thought. Mind you my kids came up with some good stuff of their own, including a very dark but funny essay of my daughter's that got her 97% in her English Higher grade. ( Her teachers were not boring pricks. )
I wish that this video contained the two follow-up scenes to the Bernie incident. There is a beautiful scene where the Principal goes home to her Lesbian partner, wonderfully played by Frances de la Tour. She, Geraldine, is in bed, and apparently dying of cancer. The Principal tells her about Bernie's story and how he and his mother just disappeared and never came back, leaving her and Bernie's teacher sitting there waiting. There is a following brief scene, which is very moving, particularly under the circumstances. At the schools' Christmas Concert, Karen (Emma Thompson) stands up to make a brief speech on behalf of the parents, and offers their commiseration to the Principal on the death of her partner, Geraldine. The viewer knows what the audience do not know, and that is that Karen is at that moment, suffering her own private grief over the behaviour of her own partner. I find it really disappointing that this story was cut, because while many aspects of love are dealt with, there is no homosexual story represented here.
I wish the Laura Linney story, the Keira Knightley stalker with the creepy placards, and Colin-the-Sex-God had all been cut and this entire sequence, including all the scenes with the headmistress and her partner had been left in. It's so much better. My favorite dialog exchange: "You mean there was more than one lobster present at the birth of Jesus?" "Duh!"
Priceless exactly the way l look at life, every one is different and as long as we’re not hurting each other life our life should be ours to think about, love for life is crushed at school
Excellent scenes… I think they actually flesh out the characters even a bit more than what we saw in the film. Considering how popular this film is, I don’t understand why they couldn’t just put all these scenes back in, and call it a special edition or something… They would get even more views, and make even more money… Kind of seems like a no-brainer don’t you agree? I just saw this film a week ago for probably the fourth or fifth time, and I do really like it that much to see it again with these scenes put in…😉👍
This was so good, but seemed to be from another movie altogether. Interesting, funny, touching, uplifting. But not Love, Actually. A perfect little scene with no place to call home.
This is, actually, love. Appreciating her child for who he is, not for who the school thinks he should be, and making clear to him that his creativity is valued is absolutely loving.
If you buy the dvd, the Delete Scenes part is really interesting. The farts bit leads Emma to meet the headmistress of his school. We then follow the headmistress home, shared with her lesbian partner, who is dying of cancer. The HM is played by the great Anne Reid and her partner by Frances de la Tour. It’s very touching and might have been a bit much for the movie
The love story of that director and her ill wife at home is also touching and was kept out of the final cut. I remember the scene of her coming home and complaining about that essay and her wife going "Oh i want to see farts too". And then she dies and Emma Thompson addresses her loss at the kid's Christmas pageant
Honestly, not surprising Bernie is such a sarcastic, irreverent child, look at his father. His father's just softened with age and marriage, but he's plenty cheeky too. No wonder his mother loved it, that's what she loves about his dad.
I love how she thought it hilarious what her son wrote !! I think she should have stuck up for him in front of the headmistress and teacher though I love Emma Thompson character in this !!! So hilarious !!
This scene needed this tidbit as comedic relief, and would have added the delicious sappiness of this flick, and make Emma Thompson's character the more tragic, when she learns about the affair.
Should have been in the finished version. The film is 2hrs and 9 mins. Including this scene and the follow-up when the headmistress goes home to her dying partner would have extended it by a mere 6-7 mins.
In grade two, I had to write a short story about nature/weather I guess. I just recall that I wrote about raindrops that I named "stupid". I guess I was in a bad mood that day. Some time later, my mom found my story (I'm sure our work was sent home with us) and read it. She was quite angry with me.
This should’ve been kept 100%. It really gives a lot more too to the relationship and the tragedy of him cheating on her since they had a very good rapport here.

I’m pretty sure Alan rickman’s character mentioned his wife in front of her in the final and cut version of the film. She def knew he was married.
She's magical.
I agree. Although she knew it's different that she actually met his wife and saw what a lovely human she was, it makes her manoeuvres even more heartless.
It be too Sekshul
I am in love/lust with Mia

WHY DID THEY CUT ALL THE EMMA THOMPSON ALAN RICKMAN SCENES?!!!11!!!1!!1!! I COULD WATCH A WHOLE MOVIE ABOUT THEM BEING A HILARIOUS MARRIED COUPLE 🥺
oh totally same!! So many of the scenes cut featured Emma and Karen was my favourite character in the movie so that's sad :(
I thought that too when the film first came out on Video. I was so excited to see Emma and Alan in another film together. So when i saw these in the deleted scenes i was sooooo disappointed they weren't shown.

What a spectacular scene. What a shame they left it out. This is what parents should do, stick by their kid's creative mind.
Exactly
Yes. Definitely. Luckily, my daughter has been going to the right places for years 😁
Awww. Cutting it was wrong. It's a lovely moment, especially at the end, and cleverly built up.
EMMA THOMPSON, what a spectacular actress. ALAN RICKMAN great actor who's life was way too short!

Oh yeah. I missed that detail. Funny.
I thought the same about it and found this very odd. 😂
Its SO WRONG that they cut this - its makes us love Emma and her family even more.
How badly we needed these scenes!!! So funny!
Anne Reid as the headteacher, her serious prim demeanor makes the essay about farts predicament funnier 😂
The real Emma Thompson showing her proudness of that child’s essay and would of probs written it herself 😅😅😅😅😅
If my son wrote that essay, I would laugh my head off and applaud him for creativity.

I always thought you should be able to at least see who farted on a cold day. The gas is warmer than the outside air, afterall.
Me too, but I imagined them to be pink for ladies, brown for guys. The ladies' would smell of strawberry when the bubbles popped.
This montage is on the film's DVD. I must have watched it 50 times over the last 20 years, and it makes me both laugh and cry uproariously every time. Merry Christmas to all!
What a shame this wasn’t kept in……. Brilliant and shows the love and bond between mother and son. X
Thank you SO much for putting this up, I've been looking for this for AGES
This is one movie that I watched every year around this time. Love seeing these deleted scenes that I've never seen before.
I am a huge fan of the film. But to delete this scene is criminal. A wonderful interplay and unexpected out turn, Thank you for sharing and brightening my day.
The deleted piece deserves it's own show! Bernard would be the lead!! Emma Thompson is just fabulous!!
A bit of subtle sarcasm there at 3:15 when Emma briefly rolled her eyes and said "excellent" really good acting there!
It's too bad they haven't got a Director's Cut, because this would definitely make it into the movie.
That is so good, Why did they cut that? Great kid.
I can think of several scenes I wouldn’t have missed in order to keep this in!
They really should have left it all in, hilarious 🤣🎉🕺
Love the interaction of Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman. Have just started reading his published diaries, he truly was the most wonderful person.
5:22 Emma Thompson's excellent acting.
as always
How I love Emma Thompson. A marvel.
I fail as a mother because I couldn’t hold back my laugh once I got to the son’s essay.

I'm in tears now. THAT WAS MY MUM and I bitterly miss her.
Who?
I wish my mum was like that 😂
This was absolutely lovely! Should have kept this scene in.
This film really needs a director’s cut. It’s such a classic. I’ve probably seen it at least 30 times.
why cut this?? she is brilliant and the scene is funny!!!! Absolutely love it!!
A piece of literary genius!
Should have kept this part.. It’s really heartwarming❤
Priceless exactly the way l look at life, every one is different and as long as we’re not hurting each other life our life should be ours to think about, love for life is crushed at school
Hilarious!! Can there be a long uncut Love Actually? That would make my Christmas
THAT should have remained in the film... Loved it. As the mother of two boys, yes, THAT should have remained.
Magnificent. Why on earth delete that - it's priceless!
Granted, I am an American teacher, but I would have loved to receive the farts essay. lol
I don't do rom-cons, but I own this film. A brilliant film start to finish , love how the patchwork stories come together at the end.
Alan Rickman RIP
Class! Almost choked! Put it back into the film next for Christmas.
Kinda broadens the idea of those other cut scenes which revealed Rowan Atkinson to be an angel..
Remake!!!! Put it all back in pleeeeeaaaaase!
Ohhh that so needs to be back in!
The way the deleted scenes are where Bernie just has so many lines and character. Wish they’d kept it or something.
Excellent scenes… I think they actually flesh out the characters even a bit more than what we saw in the film.

Ищу полную версию, либо врежу эти моменты сам!!!
Loved it! Put it back in!!
I'm glad they cut this because it doesn't make any sense. The guy teacher works in a school and gets all uppity about someone writing about farts. 🤣
They should not have deleted any screens !!! Brilliant film.. !!!
This should’ve stayed in the movie. I love it.
This was so good, but seemed to be from another movie altogether. Interesting, funny, touching, uplifting. But not Love, Actually. A perfect little scene with no place to call home.
This is, actually, love. Appreciating her child for who he is, not for who the school thinks he should be, and making clear to him that his creativity is valued is absolutely loving.

I would love a NEW release with the deleted scenes!! That would be amazing!

I remember the scene of her coming home and complaining about that essay and her wife going "Oh i want to see farts too". And then she dies and Emma Thompson addresses her loss at the kid's Christmas pageant
i dont have kids but this would completely be me. without a doubt.
That sentence about angels supports the idea that Rowan is an angel
Emma Thompson such a wonderful actress
Some scenes would have been more complete had these been left in.
Great scene!
This my favorite deleted clip of all time!
Honestly, not surprising Bernie is such a sarcastic, irreverent child, look at his father. His father's just softened with age and marriage, but he's plenty cheeky too. No wonder his mother loved it, that's what she loves about his dad.
Thank you for this.
A mother of a man child - that is hillarious!
They could have kept this and ditched that entire stupidly story of the chef going to America
I loved this scene. It's especially poignant when matched w the other deleted scene where the principal's wife tells her to lighten up.
That essay is the kind of stuff my son will have produced with pride. Fortunately, his school teacher will have laughed!
I love how she thought it hilarious what her son wrote !! I think she should have stuck up for him in front of the headmistress and teacher though I love Emma Thompson character in this !!! So hilarious !!
The visual farts should have stayed in
Andy Lincoln, Alan Rickman and Emma Thomson together in a scene, its amazing!!
All this story line could've been it own movie! I adore Emma Thompson, she's great in everything she does
It's crap how they take the best bits out of films that would have totally changed it
This scene needed this tidbit as comedic relief, and would have added the delicious sappiness of this flick, and make Emma Thompson's character the more tragic, when she learns about the affair.
