Four Weddings January 27, 2007

Not listed in the main list of actors, this is John Hannah's first film. I love the supporting actors more than the main two. Highlight includes John Hannah doing a poetry reading of Auden at the funeral, very touching and moving.

One of the best films of the past decade. Wonderful English humor and a love story that keeps you wondering until the very end. Highly recommned if you like your humor edgy and smart.
As far as romantic comedies go, hard to beat. December 27, 2006

Richard Curtis is just splendid when it comes to light-hearted comedy (especially romantic comedy). This movie personifies that. It is upbeat and very easy to get into.
Hugh Grant does his whole mumbling routine (which you either love or you hate - I happen to dig it) and the supporting cast is simply brilliant. Andie McDowell's place in this movie is something of a mystery. I don't know if her casting was genius or just grabbing any American actress who had name recognition. Her character should come off as, well, a bit of a whore but Andie couldn't play such a role if her life depended on it. She's just too nice. I think her playing the role may have saved it, though. Any other actress may have come off much less likable in the end.
One of the only negative things I can say about this movie, and Richard Curtis, is that the gay people aren't written well. The gays are gay in name only, they just come of as flamboyant asexuals. Granted the movie is 12+ years old, but still...
I am not a fan of romantic comedies at all (save for "French Kiss," this movie and "Love Actually") so I was very pleasantly surprised with this flick.
 Four Weddings and a Funeral in need of another funeral... December 23, 2006

The truth be told, I am not a real fan of Hugh Grant. His mumbling style, the constant running of his hands through his hair, and his "blank look" look are his trademarks, and they are unique in only one movie. After that, they are old, old, old.
Then there is the plot of Four Weddings and a Funeral. Hugh Grant's character, along with all of his friends, have no life other than bumbling along at weddings and funerals. It seems that Grant's "profession" is trying to have a constant stream of sleeping partners.
I enjoyed the scenes in England. I think the actors were being paid by the number of times they flashed their teeth while smiling.
All the characters were shallow, shallow, shallow. And... well, the scenery was nice.
Four Weddings and a Funeral is clearly in need of another funeral... itself.
As Good As They Say! November 20, 2006

Let me start off by saying that I think Hugh Grant is drop-dead gorgeous. I would watch any movie with him in it. This is one of his best films, if not the best. It's funny without being desperate and touching without being depressing. The only thing I would change about it is the casting of Andie McDowell. She delivers her lines so poorly that it's distracting. If it weren't for her "performance", I might would have given this film five stars. Luckily, she doesn't have THAT many lines for a "lead" character. I've read that Four Weddings and a Funeral is the highest grossing British film ever and I can see why.
