Reviews for Four Weddings and a Funeral
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.

Top CriticA 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.

Top CriticTruly 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.

Top CriticThis 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.

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