Lovable Englishman Charles and his group of friends seem to be unlucky in love. When Charles meets a beautiful American named Carrie at a wedding, he thinks his luck may have changed. But, after one magical night, Carrie returns to the States, ending what might have been. As Charles and Carrie's paths continue to cross -- over a handful of nuptials and one funeral -- he comes to believe they are meant to be together, even if their timing always seems to be off.

Nigel Andrews Financial Times 02/29/2024
The script by Blackadder’s Richard Curtis and direction by Mike Newell give this comical romantic froth such an eager whisk that it stands up and assaults the taste buds. Go to Full Review John Petrakis Chicago Tribune 02/29/2024
3.5/4
It is smart and ironic, perceptive and observant, witty and poignant, moving and sad, all at the same time. This is more than an accomplishment for a romantic comedy. This is a small miracle. Go to Full Review Derek Malcolm Guardian 02/29/2024
Newell, a director like Stephen Frears who has no particular style but fits his undoubted expertise to the material, has to be congratulated not only for getting such good performances but for the pace and verve with which he lays out the absurdities.

3.5/4
It's that rare romantic comedy that deserved its riches, given its penchant for avoiding brain-dead formula almost every step of the way. Go to Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) 02/29/2024
Mike Newell, director of Enchanted April, has made an even more charming movie. Richard Curtis' screenplay shuffles at least 20 characters, all outlined with strict economy. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review John Griffin Montreal Gazette 02/29/2024
4/5
Like the best champagne, Four Weddings and a Funeral goes to the head quickly. And like the best champagne, it leaves fizzy memories and almost no hangover. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Agustina M @macqui Feb 18 La peli es bastante mid.. los personajes no terminaron cayendome bien, siento q la historia no fue a ningun lado, muchos chistes no terminan dando gracia, warever En sí, es una pelicula mirable y se disfruta pero hasta ahí See more Diana B @RT81994464 Feb 15 Hugh Grant is adorable looking but not much else. The film shows a shallow meet-cute that turns into a presumably happy (non?)marriage at the end. Some of ther other actors do a good job, especially Simon Callow. See more Janet D @DrJanet Jan 12 Guy lands a girl who was never really into him. Hardly what I would call a happy ending. See more Horatio N @MarvelMarauder Jan 11 Much like the Notebook, this movie is another paradox of Hollywood portraying toxicity as romance. Two utterly unlikable protagonists held barely afloat by more interesting side characters does not a good romance movie make See more Joy B. @9mr_0 Dec 27 فلم حلو وقصة حلوه لكن النهاية كان من الممكن ان تكون اكثر جمال و ايضا الحوارات قليلة وبيها بعض التشابه اخراج وتصوير جيد و اداء الممثلين متوسط See more Emma T @EmmaT363 Dec 11 Literally only made a rotten tomato account so I could give this under 2 stars. Main characters are intolerable, the writing led to the female lead role having all the personality of a doorknob. Their conversations have the same level of excitement as me on the phone to my car insurance provider. The other characters are what redeems the film. See more Read all reviews
