Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Herb Lison Enjoyed this movie but was frankly puzzled by Hugh Grant's character preferring Andie MacDowell to Kristen Scott-Thomas. Still, it was charming and very funny.

shuvo_rai-67806 This was an interesting story involving both romance and comedy. Hugh Grant did an excellent job in portraying the always good-hearted Charles, who although being very handsome have only slept with nine girls. On the other hand, charming Andie McDowell slept with 32 guys only to marry someone twice her age. However, she soon realizes the mistake, and ends up being single again just to crash at Charles's own wedding and somehow manages to cause more trouble than expected. The ending was great too, happy and delightful!If you like romance, mystery and comedy all at once, you won't regret watching this movie! It's a classic!

wcgreen-65865 I watched this movie on TV against my better judgement (I admittedly dislike chick flicks and anything with Hugh Grant) because it had received so much critical acclaim. Just goes to show, critics cannot be trusted. In a word, it was pure drivel. Unless you are a hopelessly masochistic romantic, avoid this movie at all costs. But IMDB requires more words so I will go into more detail. For starters, the entire story line makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Why are all these people waking up so early in the morning to attend so many weddings and ALWAYS together? And why do they continue to trust Hugh Grant's character.. who is obviously an imbecile.. to deliver the wedding rings each time? Why do Charles and Scarlett live together... are they siblings or simply roommates? Why do they all ride in formal attire to weddings together in an old beat-up Range Rover? Why does Charles almost marry a woman he dislikes so intensely? The questions just keep coming with no legitimate answers. I really hoped this would be a good movie that would change my attitude towards chick flicks but instead it confirmed it. But the real question is why did so many people give this movie a good review? I can only guess they are living in some La-la land where life always has a happy ending. If you have been so fortunate as to have not seen this film, read the bad reviews to avoid wasting two hours of your life.

pratyush-03848 Four Weddings and a Funeral tells the story of Charles (Hugh Grant) who is a bachelor and attends weddings, usually arriving late. In one such wedding he comes across Carrie (Andie McDowell) and is taken away. They later spend the night together but move on. Later on the meet each other in other weddings and a funeral, hence the title Four Weddings and a Funeral. Along the way, we come across Charles' friends who are also single and looking for love. As the film progresses, we see how each friend finds romance in some person even if they met for a short period of time. Charles' friends also help him in trying to falling in love with Carrie. Will Charles and Carrie end up together? What happens to each of Charles' friends? These questions form the rest of the plot of Four Weddings and a Funeral.Hugh Grant again shows why he is one of the greatest Rom-Com actors of his generation. I don't think I have seen an actor that has dominated the genre as he has in recent memory. Andie MacDowell is a good support to the cast but her performance was quite wooden. For example in the rain scene, (SPOILER ALERT!) she did not show a whole lot of emotion in such a pivotal scene. The standout in Charles' friends is Gareth played by Simon Callow. He is the jovial one of the group and gives the best advice to all the friends. But if there is one performance that I remember the most, it would have to be Rowan Atkinson as the newly ordained but bumbling Father Gerald. His short performance reminded me of the priest in The Princess Bride, except he can pronounce the words, but says the wrong words.All in all, despite a slightly wooden performance by Andie MacDowell, Four Weddings and a Funeral is a great comedy for all. From start to finish, you will find yourself cheering on Charles and his friends in their quest for love. Don't miss it.
