Movie Info
This acclaimed British comedy centers on the intermittent romance between a charming (if slightly bumbling) Englishman and a beautiful American woman, who seem to always run into each other at weddings. Indeed, it is at the first of the title's four weddings that Charles (Hugh Grant) and Carrie (Andie McDowell) meet, enjoying a brief but fleeting connection. The spark is rekindled several months later, when they unexpectedly meet at another wedding. Unfortunately, however, Carrie has become

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.
Top CriticThere 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 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.
A British comedy that's classy and commercial -- and, most important, very, very funny.
If ever a film resembled a wedding cake it is Four Weddings and a Funeral, a multi-tiered confection with a romantic spirit and an enchantingly pretty veneer.
Conveys everything that is hilariously and poignantly true about the ceremonies we use to tie the knot and bid loved ones farewell.
Not everything works out neatly for everyone, but life seems a little better by the end of two hours' struggle, for the characters and for the audience. [Blu-ray]
Sexy, funny, romantic comedy at its finest.
British films are rarely as funny or as charming.
A witty romantic comedy with a sardonic edge.
This elegantly shot, well acted British comedy is an updated version of Hollywood screwball comedies, boasting an intriguing narrative structure.
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.
An absolute pleasure...
A wonderful comedy of manners and a wickedly funny commentary on a cherished institution.
Richard Curtis' screenplay nicely blends humor with drama, ensuring that some of the more serious moments never seem jarring or out of place.
Audience Reviews for Four Weddings and a Funeral
Yes it has a huge, wonderful cast and Richard Curtis is a delightful writer, however this movie is just boring and predictable from the start. you really don't have to watch the whole two hours of this movie in order to know where its going and whats its about.
If this is the best of British Comedy then i'd be very worried!
A mediocre movie, an obvious plot but a good cast and funny moments.

- Henrietta: You see, you're turning into a kind of serial monogamist. One girlfriend after another, yet you never really let anyone near you. On the contrary... You're affectionate to them and sweet to them. Even to me, although you thought I was an idiot.
- Charles: I did not.
- Henrietta: You did. I thought U2 was a type of submarine
- Charles: In a way, you were right. Their music has a naval quality.
