Lovable Englishman Charles and his group of friends seem to be unlucky in love. When Charles meets a beautiful American named Carrie at a wedding, he thinks his luck may have changed. But, after one magical night, Carrie returns to the States, ending what might have been. As Charles and Carrie's paths continue to cross -- over a handful of nuptials and one funeral -- he comes to believe they are meant to be together, even if their timing always seems to be off.

Critics Consensus

Hugh Grant ably snatches up the bouquet of leading man status with Four Weddings and a Funeral, a sparkling romantic comedy given real charm by its chummy ensemble and Richard Curtis' sharp-witted screenplay.

The script by Blackadder’s Richard Curtis and direction by Mike Newell give this comical romantic froth such an eager whisk that it stands up and assaults the taste buds.

3.5/4

It is smart and ironic, perceptive and observant, witty and poignant, moving and sad, all at the same time. This is more than an accomplishment for a romantic comedy. This is a small miracle.

Newell, a director like Stephen Frears who has no particular style but fits his undoubted expertise to the material, has to be congratulated not only for getting such good performances but for the pace and verve with which he lays out the absurdities.

3.5/4

It's that rare romantic comedy that deserved its riches, given its penchant for avoiding brain-dead formula almost every step of the way.

Mike Newell, director of Enchanted April, has made an even more charming movie. Richard Curtis' screenplay shuffles at least 20 characters, all outlined with strict economy. [Full review in Spanish]

4/5

Like the best champagne, Four Weddings and a Funeral goes to the head quickly. And like the best champagne, it leaves fizzy memories and almost no hangover.

Hugh Grant is adorable looking but not much else. The film shows a shallow meet-cute that turns into a presumably happy (non?)marriage at the end. Some of ther other actors do a good job, especially Simon Callow.

Guy lands a girl who was never really into him. Hardly what I would call a happy ending.

Much like the Notebook, this movie is another paradox of Hollywood portraying toxicity as romance. Two utterly unlikable protagonists held barely afloat by more interesting side characters does not a good romance movie make

فلم حلو وقصة حلوه لكن النهاية كان من الممكن ان تكون اكثر جمال و ايضا الحوارات قليلة وبيها بعض التشابه اخراج وتصوير جيد و اداء الممثلين متوسط

Literally only made a rotten tomato account so I could give this under 2 stars. Main characters are intolerable, the writing led to the female lead role having all the personality of a doorknob. Their conversations have the same level of excitement as me on the phone to my car insurance provider. The other characters are what redeems the film.
