Four Weddings and a Funeral

R 1994 | 118 mins | Comedy Romance

It's the romantic comedy that brought a floppy haired, delightfully stammering gent by the name of Hugh Grant to the American masses, as he stumbles his way through a series of occasions necessitating both formal wear and longing looks at Andie MacDowell. Beyond Grant's blue-eyed appeal, screenwriter Richard Curtis treats us to another charm: his deftness at creating an onscreen circle of friends who instantly feel like family.

Top 10 Fun Facts


  1. Talk about a sleeper hit: Four Weddings and a Funeral became the highest-grossing British film to date, pulling in over $245 million globally.
  2. That poem John Hannah recites at the funeral? (You know, the one that puts the frog in your throat) It's W.H. Auden's "Funeral Blues," originally published in 1936.
  3. Déjà vu: Hugh Grant starred in another movie with Kristin Scott Thomas, Bitter Moon, just two years before this one - and in both films her character's name was Fiona.
  4. "Je m'appelle Fiona." Kristin Scott Thomas provided her own dubbing for the French version of the film.
  5. Not to be outdone by his co-star's bilingual talents, Hugh Grant learned a whole new language in preparation for the movie - he studied British Sign Language to interact with his onscreen brother, played by deaf actor David Bower.
  6. Art imitates life: screenwriter Richard Curtis came up with the idea for the movie while flipping through his old journals. After doing a little math, he realized he'd been to 72 weddings in a ten-year period.
  7. Faux haggis alert! The Scottish wedding scenes were actually filmed in England, along with the rest of the film.
  8. In a rare honor for a romantic comedy, Four Weddings and a Funeral picked up an Oscar nomination for Best Picture. Unfortunately it lost out to a little flick called Forrest Gump.
  9. Let's hear it for The Troggs! A cover of their 1967 hit "Love Is All Around" appears in the movie, while a tweaked version called "Christmas Is All Around" turns up in Richard Curtis' 2003 rom-com Love Actually.
  10. By the numbers: Four Weddings and a Funeral came in at number 96 on Bravo's countdown of the 100 Funniest Movies, while Total Film magazine's readers voted it the 27th greatest comedy of all time.
