Reviews for Four Weddings and a Funeral
The infectious charm and sunny goodwill of Four Weddings and a Funeral can so immediately buoy a soul ravaged by winter weather and winter movies.

A grocery store would sell this on its generic shelf: the brittle upper-class British cleverness is strictly standard issue.

A perky, funny ensemble comedy that perversely pushes its great cast out of the way so Andie MacDowell can snooze on center-stage.
