But, after one magical night, Carrie returns to the States, ending what might have been.

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.

One of the best. Lots of laughs. Lots of heart and emotion. Only thing lacking is Andie Mcdowell's acting. It's pretty rough. But Hugh grant and the other characters are fabulous.

The male protagonist is extremely pathetic and emasculated. Carrie is an unlikable cheater and adulterer who exploited his feelings for her while keeping him as a backup option in case things don't work out. This is not what love is but obsessive infatuation with someone who slept with over 50 people right until the moment she gets married and then comes crying to someone she used when it doesn't work out.

Very good and timeless classic. Stellar cast all in their prime, delivering benchmark performances. Typical English humor which is always entertaining, fresh and very sharp. Well written and great cinematography. Hugh Grant is the only obvious choice for lead, rest of cast brings all the sophistication, awkwardness and off beat wit. Very entertaining, hilarious at times and very memorable

Comedically sophisticated in socially examines romantic pursuits with unexpected meaningfulness frivolously and formulaically deepening the thought, charismatically led by Grant’s career-defining performance. (B)
