Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This multi award winning film is one of the greatest comedies of all time - according to box office success, that is. I was not as impressed, though. Andie MacDowell's ever-present fake, forced smile was more than I could bear, and the equally forced sweet-talking voice was too annoying for words. The "love story" was in my opinion more a story of lust, as there was simply no romance.

I watched this movie on TV against my better judgement (I admittedly dislike chick flicks and anything with Hugh Grant) because it had received so much critical acclaim. Just goes to show, critics cannot be trusted. In a word, it was pure drivel. Unless you are a hopelessly masochistic romantic, avoid this movie at all costs. But IMDB requires more words so I will go into more detail. For starters, the entire story line makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Why are all these people waking up so early in the morning to attend so many weddings and ALWAYS together? And why do they continue to trust Hugh Grant's character.. who is obviously an imbecile.. to deliver the wedding rings each time? Why do Charles and Scarlett live together... are they siblings or simply roommates? Why do they all ride in formal attire to weddings together in an old beat-up Range Rover? Why does Charles almost marry a woman he dislikes so intensely? The questions just keep coming with no legitimate answers. I really hoped this would be a good movie that would change my attitude towards chick flicks but instead it confirmed it. But the real question is why did so many people give this movie a good review? I can only guess they are living in some La-la land where life always has a happy ending. If you have been so fortunate as to have not seen this film, read the bad reviews to avoid wasting two hours of your life.

Most of the women paraded in this disaster were attractive, but the men were awful. Reading the other reviews that seems to be the reverse of what the American reviewers thought. I like Andie MacDowell, although she didn't vary her act much, but I didn't like Hugh Grant, who didn't vary his act at all. American reviewers thought the opposite, except for Hugh Grant. This film is also far too politically correct. At least, it is for me. It's a comedy, but it isn't funny, unless you think Hugh Grant is funny, just for being himself, as always. The Britishness is wildly overdone, and so is the social cross-section. The language is witlessness inspired, especially the wedding service by Mr Bean. The events are uninteresting. The message is pointless. I don't know why I've given it so many stars. My advice is: stay away.

Sorry, but not sorry, i didn't like the movie. It does not do justice to the romantic genre that is overshadowed by the scant importance given by the main characters to how they affects the other characters with their actions. It seems they want to show as something romantic, which in real life could be seen as a way of acting irresponsibly towards the feelings of others. Not a good example of romanticism. The performances did not take out my breath away, nothing exceptional, but the story of the film itself is what bothers me, the message that seems unrealistic because of the idea that romance justifies everything regardless of the feelings of others.
