FOUR WEDDINGA AND A FUNERAL; 1994 (Fandango at Home--$2.99 rental) I loved this movie when I saw it the first time, and loved it in 2025. Gary didn’t remember seeing it and he loved It too. The scene where, at the funeral in the title,  Matthew reads W.H. Auden’s poem, "Funeral Blues.”-Aways gets to me. Here’s the story: Lovable Englishman Charles (Hugh Grant) and his group of friends seem to be unlucky in love. When Charles meets a beautiful American named Carrie (Andie MacDowell) 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. On RT, the crtics’ consensus is, :  Hugh Grant ably snatches up the bouquet of leading man status with Four Weddings and a Funeral, a sparkling romantic comedy given real charm by its chummy ensemble and Richard Curtis' sharp-witted screenplay. It’s directed by Mike Newell  and Richard Curtis wrote the screenplay. The film was made in six weeks, cost under £3 million, and became an unexpected success and the highest-grossing British film in history at the time, with worldwide box office total of $245.7 million, It received Academy Award nominations for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay. Additionally, Grant won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy and the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, and the film won the BAFTA Awards' Best Film, Best Direction, and Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Scott Thomas. The film's success propelled Hugh Grant to international stardom, particularly in the United States. It’s aces with me and Gary too. GRADE A
