Anyone else watching Four Weddings and a Funeral?

Anyone else watching Four Weddings and a Funeral? It's on now. I just love it. It came out when I was care free single and in 20s.

It's just about the perfect film (along with A Few Good Men).

Anyone up and watching.

Love Charlotte Coleman - she would have been the perfect Tonks in Harry Potter Sad

I’m watching it! I’ve never seen it before. It’s quite good. Funny and the fashion is brilliant! I’m very much not a Hugh grant or posh English people in films fan but this is ok.

Italiangreyhound · 27/12/2017 10:38

Donny this is basically the role Hugh Grant has played in every movie except Paddington 2. I guess you either love it or hate it! I love it! Buy you seem to be tolerating him so you could try "Notting Hill" or "Micky Blue eyes" next!

Love this film!

DH and I were late for a wedding last year and were running down the driveway of the stately house going “fuck fuck fuckity fuck! ” and laughing so hard as it was just like the start of Four Weddings. Grin

DonnyAndVladSittingInATree · 27/12/2017 12:14

Thanks italian I’ll give them a whirl!

Love Charlotte Coleman - she would have been the perfect Tonks in Harry Potter

I always pictured her in my mind as Tonks.

I love the film, but can't stand Andie McDowell. "Is it raining? I hadn't noticed" Fuck off.
Wooden actress who has zero chemistry in any of her films!

Dumbledoresgirl · 27/12/2017 12:32

I got married just after this film came out. We had a pre wedding get together, my immediate family and dh's. For a laugh, we went to the cinema to see this film. For that reason, it will always have a soft spot in my heart, though I suspect if I watched it now, I would think it was unbearably trite, like most of Richard Curtis' work.

NorbertTheDragon · 27/12/2017 12:34

Yes! I always Charlotte Coleman was Tonks too.

Rednailsandnaeknickers · 27/12/2017 18:19

Oh gosh yes Charlotte would have been an amazing Tonks. So sad, far too young. Her American bloke was a lovely touch in this film, I love the moment she leaps on him.

RC uses that a lot - Martine jumping our Hugh at the airport in Love Actually for example. LA is one of our Xmas films but every time I watch it now I get annoyed at the fat/arse/plumpy jokes about Martine - she was a perfectly normal, sexy size!!

John Hannah is fabulously understated and real - one of the best film actors of that generation surely.

theluckiest · 28/12/2017 00:06

This was my first date film with DH!!! We hadn't told each other how much we fancied one another so there was quite a lot of awkward shifting in seats and 'accidental' brushes of hands....sigh. DH even had the floppy 90s curtains just like Hugh. Maybe that's why I fell for him?!

That also means that this film is 23 years old everyone!! Shock

I got married in 1994, the same year this film came out. It's one of my absolute favourites. I actually wore a wreath thing in my hair for my wedding, inspired by Henrietta. (I looked amazing) and I played the movie soundtrack on the morning of my wedding while I got ready.
Ah the memories.

SpecialAgentDaleCooper · 28/12/2017 08:43

I keep meaning to watch this again as apparently someone where I work was an extra in one of the early scenes so I want to see if I can spot him.

He's a bit of a luvvie in real life and has probably dined out on this brief appearance since 1994.

Clawdy · 28/12/2017 14:25

I love this film, but always find that line from the guy in the inn very jarring - where he reminisces almost fondly about someone who "buggered me senseless " at school. Or have I misremembered that bit?

Itscurtainsforyou · 28/12/2017 15:12

No I saw that the other night. Made me feel quite uncomfortable and showed how things have changed in the past 23(?) years. Once it was a bit of a joke, now we understand a lot more about the reality, scale and impact of child sexual abuse in schools etc. and it's not really a joking matter.

Italiangreyhound · 28/12/2017 16:38

Yes there are one or two creepy moments @Clawdy. The school reference. The vicar appearing and asking if he can help when HG says bugger, bugger, bugger on the vestry!

And yes @CloudPerson is it still raining, I harm't noticed. Worst line omg with the school line as @

I mean...Worst line on the film along with school one as @Clawdy says.

The actors all look sooo young!

Italiangreyhound · 29/12/2017 02:44

Half way through 'A Few Good Men' on Movie Mix, Sony Channel, number 32. My favorite film, just tops Four Weddings and a Funeral (for me)!!

Great film

But what the hell does he see in Carrie?

It was miscast, IMO

And the cruelty of her taking him to watch her try on dresses. Pretending she doesn't know he loves her. Cow-bag

ladymariner · 31/12/2017 01:00

Never seen this film before, and loved it, apart from the bloody awful "raining" line! Sobbed at the funeral speech though!

AlessandroVasectomi · 31/12/2017 14:38

Nobody should take this personally, but don’t men often marry somebody less attractive than their ideal?

Italiangreyhound · 01/01/2018 02:38

AlessandroVasectomi or rather don't women have less high expectations of physical attraction in their partners?

OP posts:
AlessandroVasectomi · 01/01/2018 16:23

Cut it whichever way you want. I was just saying, that’s all

Italiangreyhound · 02/01/2018 09:41

I think physical beauty is more important to men, but I am not agreeing with you, as your phrasing suggests men 'settle for less than ideal' more than women and I am not sure they do. If that makes sense.
