Runtime: 3 hrs 54 mins

Genre: Comedies

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]

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

An intelligent romantic comedy that appeals to our love of happy endings, without making it too trite.

A very funny and warm effort, Four Weddings strives to recapture the screwball sensibility of another era, succeeding to a surprising degree.

Four Weddings and a Funeral provides us with a taste of drama, a bunch of laughs and, most importantly, some restraint.

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

The players, who include Simon Callow, Kristin Scott Thomas, Rowan Atkinson and Sophie Thompson, exude comedic brightness as they go about their gossipy, farcical, self-deprecating, sorry-about-that-old-chap, just-being-English business.

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.

Light-hearted English comedy with a hilarious wedding ceremony filled with bloopers.

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

The simplest and most honest expression of praise that I can offer Mike Newell's latest movie is that it represents two hours of solid movie magic.
