Four Weddings and a Funeral is a romantic comedy film directed by Mike Newell that follows Charles (Hugh Grant), a somewhat socially awkward Englishman who becomes attracted to a beautiful American woman, Carrie (Andie MacDowell) as she appears repeatedly amongst a series of weddings with their common friends. Their first meeting was a bit of a debacle as Charles and Carrie have an awkward one-night stand, only to meet at the next wedding with Carrie's fianc' in tow. Though each encounter seems to spark more of their attraction for the other, it is not enough to bring the two together as the third and fourth weddings are their own to other people! Four Weddings and a Funeral is a humorous and somewhat poetic look at attraction and romance as well as what truly makes a person happy in the world of love, relationships, and life.moreless
