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

Reviews for Four Weddings and a Funeral
A British comedy that's classy and commercial -- and, most important, very, very funny.
01/26/06
A very good viewing experience.
09/24/01
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.

Top CriticFour Weddings is more a romantic screwball comedy, one is as intoxicated by words, dialogue and characters as by love.
01/01/00
Light-hearted English comedy with a hilarious wedding ceremony filled with bloopers.
07/18/03
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.

Top CriticCourting stardom, Grant delivers an engaging performance in Mike Newell's romantic comedy about the horrors of flying solo in a married world.
10/02/06
Delightful and sly.
01/01/00
Top CriticComparisons to another Grant named Cary are not entirely out of place.
01/09/02
A very funny and warm effort, Four Weddings strives to recapture the screwball sensibility of another era, succeeding to a surprising degree.
01/01/00
This is a decidedly lightweight film but well made and one that has occasionally very funny gags.
01/01/00
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.
07/27/07
A witty romantic comedy with a sardonic edge.
02/03/09
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.
05/20/03
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.
12/04/08
Top CriticAn intelligent romantic comedy that appeals to our love of happy endings, without making it too trite.
01/01/00
Four Weddings and a Funeral provides us with a taste of drama, a bunch of laughs and, most importantly, some restraint.
01/01/00
Richard Curtis' screenplay nicely blends humor with drama, ensuring that some of the more serious moments never seem jarring or out of place.
01/26/05
The movie is funny. It's mostly entertaining.
