Four Weddings and a Funeral

Four Weddings and a Funeral is a 1994 British romantic comedy film directed by Mike Newell. In 2004 the magazine Total Film named it the 34th greatest British film of all time.

Synopsis

The film follows the adventures of a group of friends through the eyes of a frequently tongue-tied and faux pas-prone Englishman (played by Grant), who is smitten by the attractive American played by MacDowell. They keep meeting up at weddings (and the funeral of an ebullient middle-aged gay man played by Simon Callow). Featuring Rowan Atkinson in a cameo playing an inexperienced priest, and John Hannah in one of his first screen roles, the movie was appreciated by audiences for its witty script (written by Richard Curtis) and the considerable charisma of its actors, especially Grant and MacDowell. The film had box-office revenues of more than $260 million world-wide. Wedding three (Hamish and Carrie) was notably set in a fictional Scottish castle called 'Glenthrist'.
