Watch Four Weddings and a Funeral For Free

How sad is this?

Did you people see the same film I saw?

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

I watched this movie on TV against my better judgement (I admittedly dislike chick flicks and anything with Hugh Grant) because it had received so much critical acclaim. Just goes to show, critics cannot be trusted. In a word, it was pure drivel. Unless you are a hopelessly masochistic romantic, avoid this movie at all costs. But IMDB requires more words so I will go into more detail. For starters, the entire story line makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Why are all these people waking up so early in the morning to attend so many weddings and ALWAYS together? And why do they continue to trust Hugh Grant's character.. who is obviously an imbecile.. to deliver the wedding rings each time? Why do Charles and Scarlett live together... are they siblings or simply roommates? Why do they all ride in formal attire to weddings together in an old beat-up Range Rover? Why does Charles almost marry a woman he dislikes so intensely? The questions just keep coming with no legitimate answers. I really hoped this would be a good movie that would change my attitude towards chick flicks but instead it confirmed it. But the real question is why did so many people give this movie a good review? I can only guess they are living in some La-la land where life always has a happy ending. If you have been so fortunate as to have not seen this film, read the bad reviews to avoid wasting two hours of your life.

This is my first review on IMDb and it goes to Four Weddings and a Funeral. I have watched it for more than 5 times, and every time I felt something similar but also something different. I like the way the movie contains lots of philosophy of life through love stories, heart- lightening scenes and little jokes. I much appreciate British movies for being relaxed and reflective at the same time, but not trying to "persuade" its audience to follow their ideas. Some may think people have overrated it because of rude jokes but it is certainly not the case. Instead, life is among every rude jokes, and this movie reminds me of being true to myself.

Four Weddings has achieved iconic status as a British film and for good reasons. It comes under the category of a romantic comedy but I would argue that it is in fact far more than that. It is a film about love in all its myriad and astonishing aspects - love between man and woman, or between 2 men, love between mother and child and longstanding friendship which can be much more important than sexual love. You would need a heart of stone not to cry at the funeral scene. The film is beautiful to look at with the contrasting weddings and gorgeous costumes. It is directed with a very light touch and interweaves the main characters in an ingenious way. The acting is generally superb and without a doubt it is Hugh Grant's greatest role - before he became middle aged and cynical. My only objection is that Andie McDowell was a very odd choice for the role, not very beautiful and not a serious actress. Apart from that, the film is perfect in every respect and I could watch it forever.

It doesn't matter how many times I watch this (and I keep watching it every single time I come across it on TV) I still quit changing channels and get completely sucked into this movie. It's such a classic. Funny, bumbling, charming, endearing. I just love everything about it.I also think this is when Hugh Grant became, well, the Hugh Grant we've seen in every single movie he's done since. It doesn't matter though, this is just fantastic.Randomly that scene at the funeral when the secret boyfriend recites the poem "stop the clocks" is my favourite scene. Beautiful.
