Four Weddings and a Funeral
Hard to imagine that 25 years has passed since Charles met Carrie. As the very British Charles, Hugh Grant was catapulted to stardom. He won hearts on both sides of the Atlantic as the perennial best man mumbling and stuttering his way to heart-throb status seemingly perpetually dressed in a morning coat. Andie MacDowell is the sparkling, wealthy American who shows up as a guest at the first wedding where her flirtation with Charles startles him with its intensity. Their romance is consummated before the night is over. Yet, cowed by Carrie’s bracing eagerness, Charles is too reticent to acknowledge his feelings for her. An air of romantic uncertainty hangs over the couple through three more weddings and a funeral as the audience is drawn into caring about their fate. With a great cast of British actors like Kirstin Scott Thomas and Simon Callow and directed with light hearted yet nevertheless seductive enchantment by Mike Newell, “Four Weddings and a Funeral” set a high standard for romcoms that has only rarely been matched.
