Reviews for Four Weddings and a Funeral

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

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.
