    Has its moments but it ultimately began a trend of really shit British films that have ruined the British film industry! Why did they need an American star? They didn?t need her at all! I like Charlotte Coleman though and that?s why I give it an extra star!

    I watched this for the second or third time today. Watch it if you can, it is a great story. If you count the photos during the end credits, perhaps the movie should be called "Eight weddings and a funeral".

    Perhaps a fault of the movie - whereas it does a good job of discussi...( read more)ng the process of making that decision of who your life partner will be, I'm not sure how many couples these days go thru those fancy weddings anymore?

    Old but pretty funny, Unfortunately as an English girl, this film represented the more upper class section of people and I tend to prefer more gritty English films.

    one of the few romantic comedies to really be a good and funny film

    Four Weddings and a Funeral is a British import! I really enjoy this film starring Hugh Grant, Andie MacDowell, & Kristin Scott Thomas.

    Hugh Grant plays a man that along with his friends attend many a wedding hence the title. He is a very single man and his interest is peaked...( read more) when meeting at one wedding ceremony a single American (MacDowell). Many funny scenes such as when Hugh and his sister are very late to the 1st wedding in the movie. Andie has a cute scene in trying on wedding gowns and there is a lovely sountrack...cheers!

    It is still to date my favourite British romantic comedy. Hugh Grant's absolutely adorable in his role. The entire cast were excellent too esp Rowan Atkinson eventhough he had a small role

    The flick which gave Hugh Grant a well deserved global reputation. Very 'British'- Fun & meaningful. A prudent narrative with great supporting cast as well as characters set-up. A flick which pull me into English speaking Cinema.

    Andie MacDowell was an average actress with a great chemistry with the rest of the cast and she was a well written character.

    Charlotte Coleman was overly funny and had a great hidden charm beneath her over-flambouyant outside.

    Hugh Grant was extremly funny and charming. Hi...( read more)s akward personality and self-depricating humor was all perfect for his character.

    John Hannah, Anna Chancellor, David Haig, David Bower, James Fleet, Corin Redgrave and the rest of the characters were all extremly well cast and had their own unique charms and personalities that made them more than pleasurable to watch.

    Great music and script. I loved the direction and the character development.
