Four Weddings And A Funeral

Charles (Hugh Grant, in what would become career-defining performance) is a confirmed British bachelor with a colourful romantic background who meets the perfect woman, Carrie (Andie MacDowell), at a friend's wedding. 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 light-hearted 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. FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL is considered to be the blueprint for all subsequent Working Title romcoms (that would include NOTTING HILL and LOVE ACTUALLY) and has since become a perennial feel-good favourite.

  • 5 stars out of 5

    This tale of a hapless bachelor, his friends and their romantic escapades is, in all honesty, little more than a glorified sitcom. But it's also extremely funny, charming, poignant and never anything less than hugely enjoyable. Mike Newell directs with an understatement that allows the rich humour in Richard Curtis's script to shine through, and Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowell will probably never better their performances. The support playing, particularly of Bafta-winning Kristin Scott Thomas and Simon Callow, is also of a very high order. Buoyed by this film's success, the production team reassembled to make 1999's smash-hit, Notting Hill, which also starred Grant.

  • "...A multi-tiered confection with a romantic spirit and an enchantingly pretty veneer. Elegant, festive and very, very funny....A career-making role [for Grant]..."

    Rated - 4 stars

    Super Brit Comedy

    A great British comedy that made millions in the states and even after a decade it's still funny, fresh and moving and beats most comedy films hands down. The only thing is.....

    *** SPOILER ALERT***

    Andie Macdowell's character is clearly a psycho. She sleeps with him after they first meet and suddenly shoots off to America with no explanation. She reappears with fiance in tow and then sleeps with him again after said fiance goes back up north. Then after one of his best friends dies (at her wedding) she proceeds to come onto him after the funeral before finally turning up on his wedding day to tell him she's single again - clearly a complete fruitcake who needs to be locked up!!! They say love is blind but in this case it's gone insane as well.

    Scott Thomas meets 'movie husband' Prince Charles

    • 19 May 2009

    Actress Kristin Scott Thomas breathed a sigh of relief when she met Prince Charles for the first time, because the heir had forgotten she had once portrayed his on-screen wife. Scott Thomas starred alongside Hugh Grant in 1994 comedy Four Weddings and A Funeral, and, after being spurned by her leading man, her character, Fiona, finds love with Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales. She feared the satirical scene would come back to haunt her when she had the opportunity of meeting the real... Read more
