Read MoreNever have I been so impressed with a film as I was with Mike Newells British romp, Four Weddings and a Funeral. I can honestly say that this was one of those films that needed to have strong definitive characters to make the story work, and Newell accomplished this task with the greatest of ease. While he had done some work prior to this film, America was introduced to a very funny and very British Hugh Grant for the first time. This film is funny, insightful, witty, and very personable. It is hard to find films of this caliber created by Hollywood anymore, so thankfully we have this film. Everything from the soundtrack (boasting several American songs), to the deeply humorous and intuitive references to American pop culture, to Hugh Grants use of a certain word time over time, only keeps this film above all others. Overall, this was a surprising film when I watched it for the first time, and it continues to impress. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Neither romantic nor funny. Its downright slow borderline if not boring. Do yourself a favor and actually get a romantic comedy not one like this that for some reason is catagorized as one. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

I expected wit and charm. Instead the movie provided stereotypical and embarassingly self-conscious characters. Cute doesn't work well for me as the sole premise to a film. This was brutal. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

A great British comedy. Lots of wit and fun. A touch of sadness. Hugh Grant is absolutely too cute. I was entertained. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Whatever praise this movie has received must be on the basis of the good-looking, charming leads. Otherwise, it is just plain bad. In fact, even Andie MacDowell's perennial smile started to grate on ... Read MoreWhatever praise this movie has received must be on the basis of the good-looking, charming leads.
