My Review-

In honor of my cousins wedding day, I chose to watch this movie, which is also on a lot of lists for top wedding movies and I think it deserves to be on those list, this movie is very funny. I had always heard about this movie and how good it was supposed to be and everything I heard about it was true. What made this movie as good as it was, was because that it was British humor, and that kind of humor can be dry but very freakin hilarious and it all depends on the actors and the characters that they are playing and it all meshed well with this movie. I think this movie came out during the time that Hugh Grant was not doing so good in his personal life, but he was still funny and made the movie move along since he was the main character, however what made this movie real good for me was the multiple story-lines that happened with each wedding that took place. Each character got focused on during each wedding and we were able to look and like each character more after each wedding took place. Some of the funniest scenes were from Hugh Grant's brother in the movie who was deaf, some of the best one liners and scenes were with him and Grant and made me laugh out loud during those scenes. The only bummer part of the whole movie was the funeral part of the film when Simon Callow's character died, which really sucked for in the film because his character was also really funny along with John Hannah, with Hannah i got to hear his real accent which surprisingly he's Scottish which I never knew. This one movie that should be watched since it is also considered a sleeper hit. This one British comedy I would love to add to my collection. I'm glad I chose this movie for this day, it was both heartfelt, fun and memorable.
