A surprise hit and one of the highest grossing films ever to
come out of Great Britain, this effortlessly enchanting romantic
comedy finds confirmed bachelor Hugh Grant
(Nine Months)
attending weddings with his single friends as they all lament not
being able to commit. Grant keeps running into an attractive American
(Andie MacDowell) at these festivities and begins a long-running
affair with her, even as he attends her own wedding, the funeral of
one of his best friends, and his own pending nuptials. Featuring a
spirited supporting cast including Kristin Scott Thomas (The English Patient)
as the acerbic friend quietly in love with Grant,
this touching and funny film with a mischievous sense of humor and
some truly heartbreaking moments is destined to become one of the
classic romantic comedies of all time. --Robert Lane
