Summary: Grant&MacDowell are now film's Tracy&K.Hepburn.
Review: EmmaThompson stated,"that if Hugh Grant had not agreed to do "Sense&Sensability" prior to "Four Weddings",she never could have afforded him then." This film is the only one my husband and I agree on watching together,and we have many,many times. I recall dialogue and end up laughing outloud, even in public.It has an honesty that carries throughout the entire film.Especially the funeral. There is a core group of brillant actors from England that continue to perform and excite the senses and leave one fully surprised by their cameleon like abilities in film and on stage. Grant and MacDowell have the chemistry of those wonderful actors of the past. A delicious give and take, eyes sparkling, and yet we, the viewers get the 'moment' as well.This is a warm,witty and intelligent film not to be passed up for one's film archives.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Overrated
Review: The hype surrounding Four Weddings when it was first released in the UK made me imagine it must me a great movie. What does everyone see in it? Grant is irritating and a stereotypically English upper-class boy, which is getting tirelessly overused in movies. The "quaint" weddings and eccentricity and aloof nature of the women are just as bad. If you want to see a real British movie, watch Lock,Stock and Two Smoking Barrels instead. Four Weddings is a big disappointment.

Rating: 4 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Poignent....Poetic...Passionate
Review: It speaks to us...doesn't it? It speaks to us of the very relationships that make up our daily lives...we have the best friends...the sisters or brothers...we have the family and acquaintences we only see at weddings, funerals or Christmas...and then there is that passion we usually re-aquaint ourselves with at such follies as weddings, funerals and reunions....it is about truth....fear...and reaching out when our entire soul tells us we should not...and then regretting that we listened to it in the first place....but most of all this story reminded me that the heart knows when to speak and when to remain silent. Yes. It is a lesson we should all learn early in life - Listen to Your Heart!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just do(buy) it!
Review: A video you want to watch from time to time. It can still crack you up every time you watch it. Classic British way of humor. It is certainly a must for your video collection.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: No words can describe the impact the characters gave
Review: I own this DVD and I have to admit the only reason I got it was because of John Hannah (The Mummy and Sliding Doors), who is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors. When his partner dies, he gives the most heartwrenching euology to ever be released from a mouth. The DVD specials aren't more spectacular than any others, but just the fact that you can skip from an embarassing moment with Hugh Grant to a depressed Kristen Scott Thomas is worth it enough. Oh yeah, and then there's John Hannah's quick and intelligent comments that will leave you rolling in the aisles!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What can I say? It's awesome!
Review: Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowell at their finest. Also a great performance by Kristin Scott-Thomas. A must-see that is one of my very favorite romantic comedies. And by all means, buy the soundtrack! It's one of my favorites, as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A true classic. Don't ponder, just buy it.
Review: I'm not going to rehash or give a play by play. Four weddings will always remain on top of my all time list. The wit in this gem will give you an abdominal workout.Own it! .................................Signed, Fun Husband

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My favourite movie of all time!
Review: After I saw this movie in the theatres, I was probably the first one to buy a laser disc which I view like a regular diet of once a week. The frequency has diminished to once a month but I still enjoy it. I saw it the first time at a cinema multiplex in Oregon!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Feel Good Movie of the 90s
Review: This movie has become one of my favorites to watch on rainy evenings or whenever I need to revisit the fun, spirited relationships between the characters. Although the romance between Hugh Grant and Andie McDowell may have been the movie's chief drawing point, it isn't the reason this movie remains permanantly on top of my VCR waiting to be watched again. It is the funny, touching and true relationship between Hugh Grant and his university friends, now adults, as they rely more on each other than on their hapless romantic liasons. It is from these relationships that most of the movie's humor derives, and these relationships give the movie its fresh, hopeful and fun tone.
