10 Movie Characters That Got Happy Endings They Did Not Deserve
10. Harry - Love Actually
Love Actually might be a universally beloved, critically acclaimed Christmas movie, but next to some of the sweet story endings, there are some that are just weird. Aside from Andrew Lincoln's Mark professing his love for his best friend's wife and people thinking it's cute, there was Harry's story.
Harry, played by Alan Rickman, had a loving wife and loving children, and yet still found himself besotted with his secretary at work. There was flirting at first, and then he went out to buy her a very expensive necklace, while he bought his wife Karen a CD for Christmas.
Arguably the worst part of it isn't the cheating, and it isn't even the fact that Karen found out, in spite of the incredible performance by Emma Thompson. The worst part is that Harry faced absolutely no consequences.
Karen, putting her family first, though she was being made a fool of and though she knew that her life would always be a little worse for knowing what he did, stayed. You can see the pain in her face as she picked him up from the airport, when in reality he didn't even come close to deserving her.
