Love it, if I could vote I would give it an A
This is one of the few non-childrens movies that I don't mind watching over and over.

Loved it too. Very funny with awesome characters. I wished there would have been a bit more about Scott-Thomas and Grant relationship but that's just a minor complaint. A

FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL - 8/10 (A-)
You know, I started it and watched maybe 10-15 minutes, but then stopped it because I was tired. I wasn't all that impressed with it at the time so I almost didn't end up watching the rest. Thankfully I did though because this was a very funny, very charming movie. I loved it! I loved the characters and would love to have a circle of friends like them. Kristin Scott Thomas was especially awesome. And the speech at the funeral was very moving. The only real weak link was MacDowell. I liked her well enough, but there were times when her acting was off.
A very fun movie, with quite a few laugh-out-loud moments. The "awful wedded wife" line was hilarious. This was much better, and funnier, than the disappointing "Death at a Funeral."

Re: Four Weddings and a Funeral
Great film... except for Andie MacDowell. At no point did I believe that Hugh Grant (or anyone, really) would fall in love with her. Trust the American actress to nearly ruin a British film.

Re: Four Weddings and a Funeral
Yeah, this film is perhaps the most vivid example of a fantastic film with a glaring weak link (Andie MacDowell, of course).
