to think Carrie was a right bitch in Four Weddings and a Funeral?

[Hassled]

Fair enough that she shagged Charles after the first wedding. The "are we engaged now?" joke wasn't funny, but still.
To then shag Charles at the second wedding while only just engaged to Scottish bloke was poor.
Inviting Charles to her wedding post-shag was iffy.
To then take Charles wedding-dress shopping and tell him about previous shags was shit of her. Plus she had a really expensive wedding-gift list and we all know how entitled that is.
To then have the audacity to attend his wedding when he's told her he loved her, AND to tell him moments before the ceremony that she'd left Scottish bloke - that was just cow-like behaviour.

Her only redeeming feature is that she had good taste in hats. I'm right, aren't I?

Oh I seeeeeeeeee!

Well, if it's a big day and they're proud of her and stuff, then I guess it's just something to say. My dad said he was proud at my wedding in his speech

I went to see this at the pictures when it came out. It was at the old picture house in scarborough and before the film started an old wurlitzer organ rose from the old orchestra pit and a man played what he called "a medley of wedding hits" to get us all in the mood for a film about weddings. He played the queen of sheba andhere comes the bride etc before we were allowed to see the film. You don't get that kind of thing nowadays!

You definitely don't Yoland!

Are you sure it was Four Weddings and not the latest Rudi Valentino?

I am sure I read somewhere that AMD wasn't the first choice for the role as Carrie, but I can't remember who was!

I'm sure it was made on a shoestring budget, so they probably couldn't afford a higher profile American actress.

Imdb says Marisa Tomei turned down the role as Carrie

Oh I like Marisa Tomei, she's got very soulful eyes.

scone/gone ....that's the whole point. ...proud of what?

i have promised dd i shall wear a hat bigger than the 4weddings hat if she has a big wedding, so that not one single person in the cheap seats can see a thing! :o

Oh, ok, So Fiona was being ironic.

And Brooke Shields and Melanie Griffiths were also offered it and Alan Rickman was offered the role of Charlie too.

Marisa Tomei would have been brilliant!

But maybe the writer/director wanted the american character/HG Love interest to be slightly annoying or irritating, more like real life that way, that the truly more interesting and attractive woman (KST) is the one that got away - bet you if FWAAF did a sequel, carrie and hugh would be going through a hugely bitter divorce and he'd be kicking himself for not choosing KST...

The real question is: did the invitation to Carrie's wedding contain a poem?

Linda Fiorentino is the same age as AM, and I like her. Maybe a bit too sexy, though?

She did The Last Seduction the same year Four Weddings and a Funeral came out.

Marisa Tomei would have been great! At least I could see the attraction. But then again, the actions of the Carrie character are pretty shoddy and selfish, so perhaps a less likeable actress like Andie MacDowell was actually a good choice. I wish I found her more appealing, really, because in real life (from what I've read), she has overcome a lot and seems quite impressive as a person.

You all forgot:
"What's bonking?"
"Well, it's a bit like ping pong."

Have to say I thought Andie M was good in Green Card - great chemistry with Gerard D.
Love "Four Weddings" but really don't like the line from the middleaged guy in the inn about being buggered at boarding school...not funny.

Bronte was a bit of a prickly character but great film, (loved the piano solo scene).

One of my favourite feel good and then sad films. Really not fussed about AMD, love Simon Callow. HG is just archetypal HG, the only thing I've ever seen in him when he's not being Hugh Grant was Cloud Atlas where he was a texan and really quite passable at it too.

I like Hugh Grant, despite the fact that I know he must be a deplorable human being (getting two girlfriends pregnant at the same time, visiting prostitutes etc). He wrote that very funny New Statesman piece about being pursued by a tabloid journalist, which I found endearing.

In About A Boy, he plays a very different type of character. I think he is probably a pretty good actor, just got typecast. One of my all-time favourite tv series is called A Very Peculiar Practice - it was shown in about 1985, and Hugh Grant has a cameo an evangelical lay preacher in the second episode. Very funny.

I didn't pay much attention to Brontë in Green Card, I was to busy wanting to shag Gerard senseless.

I never noticed Hugh in VPP
and have now thrown out my videos :(

Ha ha ha ha. Avec Scottish accent too! Remembered during that clip (thanks YouTube) that Peter Davidson's (on screen) girlfriend before he married the Polish nutter was unspeakably pretty and made me very dissatisfied with my own face in the mid 80s.

Carrie would so have included a poem in her invitations. And had a big break between wedding and reception while she disappeared for photos.

I am now snuggling down to watch this after ordering it from SkyStore - £3 bargain!

And suits the part and the character is unlike able. She is beautiful but I love kst better.

KST's character = ballcruncher.

Charles should have avoided both of them and married someone who didn't appear in the film.

Crap film anyway: a particularly typical example of the genre of British films that are really just glorified travel brochures for Americans.
