Four Weddings and a Funeral | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Nigel Andrews Financial Times The script by Blackadder’s Richard Curtis and direction by Mike Newell give this comical romantic froth such an eager whisk that it stands up and assaults the taste buds. Feb 29, 2024 Full Review Four Weddings and a Funeral | Rotten Tomatoes (2) John Petrakis Chicago Tribune It is smart and ironic, perceptive and observant, witty and poignant, moving and sad, all at the same time. This is more than an accomplishment for a romantic comedy. This is a small miracle. Rated: 3.5/4 Feb 29, 2024 Full Review Four Weddings and a Funeral | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Derek Malcolm Guardian Newell, a director like Stephen Frears who has no particular style but fits his undoubted expertise to the material, has to be congratulated not only for getting such good performances but for the pace and verve with which he lays out the absurdities. Feb 29, 2024 Full Review Four Weddings and a Funeral | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Mike Newell, director of Enchanted April, has made an even more charming movie. Richard Curtis' screenplay shuffles at least 20 characters, all outlined with strict economy. [Full review in Spanish] Feb 29, 2024 Full Review Four Weddings and a Funeral | Rotten Tomatoes (5) John Griffin Montreal Gazette Like the best champagne, Four Weddings and a Funeral goes to the head quickly. And like the best champagne, it leaves fizzy memories and almost no hangover. Rated: 4/5 Feb 29, 2024 Full Review Four Weddings and a Funeral | Rotten Tomatoes (6) John Millar Daily Record (UK) This is a glorious, entertaining, fast-moving, hilarious comedy, packed with great jokes, scattered like confetti and delivered by a cast who act their socks off.

Mason M Four Weddings and a Funeral is a surprisingly inventive and well done drama-comedy that is led by its great writing. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review Les N Splendid. If it wasn't for Notting Hill I'd think it the best. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review Matthew C The Father Gerald wedding ceremony is laugh out loud hilarious, and Matthew's speech at Gareth's funeral is touching and heart felt. 4 Weddings shows the power and depth of all kinds of different types of love. Andie MacDowell is a bit stiff, but otherwise an amazing film. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Ann-Cathrine B didn‘t like a single thing about this movie. what a load of bullshit. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Family A My husband and so both agreed that this movie was completely overrated. It just wasn’t that engaging or funny. The characters were one dimensional and the plot was meandering and unbelievable. Kept watching and hoping we’d like it since it’s so highly rated but it never got any better Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review Bahad j I felt like the characters in this movie could feel the happiness and difficulties that they faced in real life. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
