In "Four Weddings and a Funeral" attractive, and young, Charles
(Hugh Grant) meets Carrie at a wedding and keeps running into
her afterwards, and falls in love with her. He is brutally
disappointed when she plans to get married - to someone else
- and eventually does so. Here's where the plot starts to
drag. It took forever for her to get married and break Charles'
heart (not that Hugh Grant was hard to look at during this
time), but they could have given the moviegoer a break and
sped things up a bit.
Eventually, at the altar to his own marriage to someone else
besides Carrie, Charles backs out, changes his mind and ends
up with you-know-who.
The movie was amusing at times, but too sluggish at other
times to really make it enjoyable.
Hugh Grant did a marvelous performance as Charles, the most
sought after male around, and carried the film. Unfortunately,
the plot was too weak for even the best of performances to
save this movie.
My rating : 2 stars
