 Picture-Perfect Romantic Comedy May 12, 1999
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
A wonderful movie to watch with someone you love (or could see yourself loving somewhere down the line). The question of commitment rears its ugly head over and over, and makes it appear Charles (Hugh Grant) is unable to do so. In fact, the film seems to make the case he's been biding his time waiting for the thunderbolt to hit from out of the blue; when it finally does (in the person of Andie MacDowell), it misfires a few times.The film is enhanced by not being teddibly British (but suffers from not showing enough of Britain -- it might as well have been filmed in Toronto for all we saw of the countryside and Scotland). The supporting cast is marvelous, with Kristin Scott-Thomas and John Hannah moving on to bigger and better things. Andie MacDowell has been unfairly described as the weak link, but her character is rather ill-defined and flighty to begin with, and she didn't write the awful "Is it raining? I hadn't noticed" eye-roller at the end. Friends have told me other actresses could have been much better in the role; I highly doubt it. Definitely worth grabbing on video. The DVD holds no significant extras -- kind of a disappointment, since the screenplay book shows many deleted scenes and rejected TV spot scripts -- *some* of them must have been filmed.
What can I say? It's awesome! March 8, 1999

Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowell at their finest. Also a great performance by Kristin Scott-Thomas. A must-see that is one of my very favorite romantic comedies. And by all means, buy the soundtrack! It's one of my favorites, as well.
A true classic. Don't ponder, just buy it. December 16, 1998

I'm not going to rehash or give a play by play. Four weddings will always remain on top of my all time list. The wit in this gem will give you an abdominal workout.Own it! .................................Signed, Fun Husband

After I saw this movie in the theatres, I was probably the first one to buy a laser disc which I view like a regular diet of once a week. The frequency has diminished to once a month but I still enjoy it. I saw it the first time at a cinema multiplex in Oregon!
Feel Good Movie of the 90s November 19, 1998

This movie has become one of my favorites to watch on rainy evenings or whenever I need to revisit the fun, spirited relationships between the characters. Although the romance between Hugh Grant and Andie McDowell may have been the movie's chief drawing point, it isn't the reason this movie remains permanantly on top of my VCR waiting to be watched again. It is the funny, touching and true relationship between Hugh Grant and his university friends, now adults, as they rely more on each other than on their hapless romantic liasons. It is from these relationships that most of the movie's humor derives, and these relationships give the movie its fresh, hopeful and fun tone.
