Vier Hochzeiten und ein Todesfall

...the film is acted, directed, and edited so well for comedy, and Grant is such a charming, amusing revelation, that (...) criticisms fade away.

...this may be the one that makes [Hugh Grant] finally familiar to American audiences. He has a self-deprecating manner, a kind of endearing awkwardness, that makes you understand why a woman might like him...

...it represents two hours of solid movie magic.

Casting is everything in FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL; the more one falls for Grant's ineffectual-but-adorable upper-middle-class schtick, the more charming everything seems.
