[LO2VE WEEK] ORM-MOC Word Scramble

lewys-gp — Fri, 18 Feb 2022 15:21:15 GMT

Unfortunately, @RafaC isn't around today to host the Word Scramble! So, I will be attempting to step into his shoes, and will hopefully live up to high-quality hosting.

What is fortunate though, is that he prepared this earlier in the week, so I'll only have to update answers 😅! Here's what he wrote:

Have I heard someone say Hugh Grant?

As part of our Community LO2VE WEEK, I have the pleasure to bring you the Romantic Comedy Movies Word Scramble! The movies listed below are not all rom-coms mind you, but romantic-themed movies in general, or movies that revolve around romantic love (not necessary comedy). Some of them are actually good, believe me.

Correct, @Bambino! Thanks for joining in.

20 ... LOVE ACTUALLY

Re: [LO2VE WEEK] ORM-MOC Word Scramble

lewys-gp — Fri, 18 Feb 2022 14:13:42 GMT

Correct, @BobM! Thank you for joining in.

Trivia: When casting the part of Sarah, writer and director Richard Curtis auditioned a great many British girls, but kept saying, "I want someone like Laura Linney ." The casting director eventually snapped and said, "Oh, for [SOMETHING] sake, get Laura Linney then." Linney then auditioned and got the part. 😂

Re: [LO2VE WEEK] ORM-MOC Word Scramble

Correct, @gmarkj! Thanks for joining in. I've never read the book, but do agree that it is a great film.

Trivia: Stevie Wonder originally performed the closing track "I Believe" before Art Garfunkel and Peter Frampton covered it. All three are artists that Rob, Dick, and Barry ridicule in the movie.
