Four Weddings And A Funeral (DVD 2001)

Four weddings and a funeral has to go down as one of the most enjoyable and most successful British comedy ever. Written by Richard Curtis (Notting Hill) the film follows hopeless Charles (the extremely adorable Hugh Grant) who is forever going to other people’s weddings but is never actually the groom himself. He takes an interest in Carrie (Andie McDowell) who he meets at yet another wedding and through the course of the film they meet at a no. of social gatherings and the audience is left wondering “will they or won’t they get together.”
The casting is superb, Hugh Grant as always is charming and indeed very watchable but we can’t forget the supporting cast who play Charles’ friends. The only slight disappointment is Andie McDowell whose performance wasn’t electrifying in the least but the chemistry between her and Grant makes up for that.

Extremely funny and in places very moving, inparticular John Hannah’s emotional speech at the funeral. Along with Bridget Jones’ diary this is British comedy at it’s best.
