... View MoreVery interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
... View MoreThis movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
... View MoreThis multi award winning film is one of the greatest comedies of all time - according to box office success, that is. I was not as impressed, though. Andie MacDowell's ever-present fake, forced smile was more than I could bear, and the equally forced sweet-talking voice was too annoying for words. The "love story" was in my opinion more a story of lust, as there was simply no romance.
... View MoreWhy is this mediocre romantic comedy-drama film so popular? The protagonist, Charles (played by Hugh Grant), happens to meet an American, Carrie (played by Andie MacDowell), at four weddings and a funeral. The biggest problem with this dreadful film is that Carrie is very unlikeable. She's cold, aloof, selfish and arrogant. She's not particularly physically attractive either. It's difficult to believe that Charles thinks she's wonderful.
... View MoreFour Weddings and a Funeral was a smash hit on release and it's easy to see why. A brilliant British cast and a funny clever and witty script make this a must see. It follows a myriad of characters as they intertwine as the title suggests four weddings and a funeral. What's great this film is that it is full of great characters. Hugh Grant leads the way as the charming Charles who finds it hard to settle down. Whilst Grant is superb he is by no means the only one with plenty of pitch perfect performances from the likes of Simon Callow, John Hannah and Kristin Scott Thomas. The only real weak link is Andie MacDowell but even though she has been slated for her performance it's not the worst in the world. This is a film full of genuinely funny moments but also some sad ones. The funeral is genuinely touching and uses the poem 'Funeral Blues' to great effect. This is a film that is entertaining from start to finish and as well as Grant's finest moment, for me is the best Rom-Com ever made. Highly recommended.
... View MoreSo this movie beated the 1997 film Titanic at the BAFT awards and just like the Oscars the BAFTA messed up.The story is about Charles and is circle of friends ponder love and marriage - even as they attend weddings (and one funeral). Miss right may be right there - but will Charles be able to admit he has found love? Normally British films to me are kind of an mix bag for me and what I mean is sometimes I will enjoy or be bored by movies from Britain. I don't know why it just happens, and this is coming from a guy who is from Britain. I was a bit shocked when I find out that this movie won best film at BAFTA awards and knocked the highest grossing movie of all time Titanic, and to the people who liked this movie more than Titanic that's fine but to me in my personal opinion this movie was okay.Let's start of with the positive: The acting from everyone was solid and this movie has a great cast.The movie did make me laugh at times with characters doing whacky things that no normal person would do at a wedding yeah those kind of jokes.I'm not going to spoil anything but these a scene where there are at this funeral and one of the characters give a sad and kind of moving speech.Now for things that didn't work for me: I didn't really think this movie is on the level of amazing as some has put it out to be, I'm saying it's bad I honestly think it's just okay.
