From the first spoken line to the last ("I do"), it's a jubilant celebration of friendship, romance, and good humor. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Wonderful and a classicI love this movie, Hugh Grant is fabulous! Highly recommend this movies. A Must See. Rating:  - You have got to be kidding me...I've finally seen what people have said is the "best modern romantic comedy" around. They're joking? There might be that movie in this mess somewhere, but the script and editing kill it. Charles (Hugh Grant) is a very attractive character and nicely written in his strengths (friendship, openness to the possibility of true love) and flaws (perpetually late, a complete lack of discretion). Carrie (Andie MacDowell) is less engaging. For someone supposedly so "experienced" (she lists 33 lovers), ...

In the end, `Four Weddings...' works rather nicely, and while it's not the best British comedy in my opinion (I prefer screenwriter Richard Curtis' very own `Love Actually'), it is very enjoyable and worthy of most the love and accolades it has received. ...

The story line and development are thin; indeed, we basically do just attend four weddings and a funeral, watching the lead actor struggle with his desire to avoid commitment. Rating: - Tasteless.I never cared for Four Weddings and a Funeral. Andie MacDowell's character is disgusting, she sleeps aronund, plays with Hugh Grant's character affections and never seems to care about anyone but herself. The only reason I give this film 2 stars instead of 1 because this is Hugh Grant's breakout role and he is so charming in this one, god love him! The rest of the cast is annoying and wooden, if you want an intelligent british comedy then I recommend Bridget Jones's Diary which also has Grant as the romantic lead.
