Four Weddings and a Funeral

by stewartacraig ^Pro @ Thursday, 15. May, 2008 – 10:29:31

Okay, so this was on TV last night as I flicked over from The Apprentice and after a brief conversation in my mind between the devil who was insisting that I watch it and the angel who was telling me to go to bed I caved in and settled down...

It's been many years since I saw this movie (released in 1994, I think) and apart from a few minor gripes, including the hideous airing of Wet Wet Wet's version of Love is all Around, the film remains contemporary and amusing... It encapsulates the middle-class British wedding perfectly without looking like it's trying too hard; and I have to say, Hugh Grant plays the hesitant bachelor perfectly.

It's a film that has a bad press for various reasons, but it is funny and as a comedy film that's all it has to be.

Cheers, Tom.

Stop all the clocks is by W H Auden. I like 4 weddings too. Of course.

  You know what, I actually missed the first few minutes the other night! I caught it just as the groom arrives at the church...

I have never watched this film, am I missing out on this one ?

Or should I go and hire it for the evening - Is it worth a watch then ? -

  Well, I think it's great! even though it is a bit of a chick flick. I only really like it because it's sooo British!

    Well, next weekend I will be childless as part-time daddy moves into his new house this week, and will be having the kids over for the weekend.
    
    So I am going to have one night out, then the next night hire a few chick flicks and recover from the night before under the duvet all day - I know this is so cheesy, but i'm a right sucker for the film Beaches..please dont tell anyone -
