What It's About:

Handsome, bumbling Charles (Grant) is always attending the nuptials of his good friends, half-heartedly lamenting his single status with other male acquaintances. He knows the time is right for a committed relationship, but can’t seem to find the right girl. Then he meets vivacious, free-spirited American Carrie (McDowell), who keeps popping up at the same weddings, and finds his entrenched bachelor mindset under siege....

Why I Love It:

One of Britain’s biggest box-office hits, Mike Newell’s witty, urbane romantic comedy features Hugh Grant in a star-making turn as the waggish, commitment-phobic Brit who falls for a foxy Yank. Supported by Kristin Scott Thomas, who plays Grant’s secretly enamored pal, Fiona, McDowell and Grant have a charmingly spirited and mischievous rapport that audiences loved. Plus, Newell’s deft handling of Richard Curtis’s sharp script helped “Four Weddings” earn an Oscar nod for Best Picture.
