Runtime: 3 hrs 54 mins

Genre: Comedies

Synopsis: Charles (Hugh Grant) is a confirmed British bachelor with a colorful romantic background who meets the perfect woman, Carrie (Andie MacDowell), at a friend's wedding. However, Charles's hopes of... Charles (Hugh Grant) is a confirmed British bachelor with a colorful romantic background who meets the perfect woman, Carrie (Andie MacDowell), at a friend's wedding. However, Charles's hopes of romance are dashed when Carrie announces she must return to America the next morning. The two continue to cross paths at other people's weddings, never finding each other at a time when both are single. As all of Charles's friends find love, he's left wondering if he will ever be the one going to the altar. With subtle and lighthearted storytelling, director Mike Newell makes viewers feel intimate with characters who are shown in their happiest and saddest moments. The talented, funny cast--including Kristin Scott Thomas, Simon Callow, and Rowan Atkinson--portrays a very convincing group of friends in search of true love. [More]

British films are rarely as funny or as charming.

The infectious charm and sunny goodwill of Four Weddings and a Funeral can so immediately buoy a soul ravaged by winter weather and winter movies.

There are movies so breezy, even flimsy, that you can enjoy them as genial providers of an evening's entertainment yet forget all about them by the time you leave the multiplex.

A witty romantic comedy with a sardonic edge.

A grocery store would sell this on its generic shelf: the brittle upper-class British cleverness is strictly standard issue.

Truly beguiling romantic comedy is one of the hardest things for a modern film to pull off, but a winning British team has done it in Four Weddings and a Funeral.

This elegantly shot, classically structured British comedy is an updated version of Hollywood screwball comedies. Despite its makers' claims, it's not as radical as they hold--unless you consider a happy gay couple a revolutionary idea.

The colorful cast brings it all home, and the film has become something of a minor classic in its genre.

Courting stardom, Grant delivers an engaging performance in Mike Newell's romantic comedy about the horrors of flying solo in a married world.

A British comedy that's classy and commercial -- and, most important, very, very funny.

Richard Curtis' screenplay nicely blends humor with drama, ensuring that some of the more serious moments never seem jarring or out of place.

Shadows on the Wall

A perky, funny ensemble comedy that perversely pushes its great cast out of the way so Andie MacDowell can snooze on center-stage.
