Yuri B Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised. This was a really great film. All 5 pieces blended seamlessly together... & Gareth was definitely my favorite character in the whole film. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/18/25 Full Review Keith R With the exception of one scene, a eulogy given to Gareth by his lover Matthew at the funeral of the film's title, there is little to recommend this 'comedy' about the lives of a group of middle- and upper-midde class British friends, many of whom struggle to find a marriage partner. So why, you ask, are there four weddings? I have no idea. I also have no idea why this is one of the most successful British films ever made. I was baffled by the whole thing. The central partnership between two young people, played by Andie McDowell and Hugh Grant, lacks any real chemistry and is scarcely believable on any level. Much of the acting seemed forced and uncomfortable and the only person with a grain of sense in the whole thing is Hugh Grant's character's deaf mute brother. Still, many people love it and I'm glad it makes them happy. I think mainstream comedy is woefully lame on the whole, which is why it's taken me 31 years to watch this, and I'm sorry I bothered. Two hours of my life I won't get back. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/07/25 Full Review Melissa M In spite of the gratuitous use of the f word. And the fact that for much of the film subtitles would have been helpful. Some parts of it are predictable . The funeral scenes were heartfelt & well done. But the montage at the end of the movie. Sums things up perfectly. You can definitely tell that the characters live happily ever after. Even the dog. It definitely helps when the main characters have chemistry. Like the quirky chemistry between Charles & Carrie. The dry British wit is definitely what keeps the movie going. And makes it worth watching. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/17/25 Full Review Glafira Regina O This film is a delightful romantic comedy with a touch of sharpness. Directed flawlessly by Mike Newell, Hugh Grant is in great form as the tough, slightly awkward Englishman— a role he's perfected over the years. The entire cast gels well with the subtle, restrained British humor. Rowan Atkinson has a brief yet funny cameo. Andie MacDowell is incredible as the American love interest in a predominantly British setting, and she’s also the only odd one out in the cast. Unfortunately, the actress is surprisingly uneven, and her final scene is quite shocking. Later in the film, there’s a funeral where John Hannah delivers a passionate eulogy. This film was such a celebration of life that even death is spoken of with love. I simply can’t imagine anyone not finding this movie as enjoyable as I did. Definitely worth watching. The only thing I didn’t get here is the funeral - one of the friends of the main hero just randomly died during the wedding, and well... that is all. Pretty strange storyline. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/10/25 Full Review Travis T Most of the main characters were unredeemable psychopaths. I have no idea how people interpret this as charming. There are so many better British rom coms from this era. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/11/25 Full Review Zamya F Enjoyable, charming, funny, and exciting.
