"&lt;p&gt;Hugh Grant, the young British actor, has done decent work (&lt;em&gt;Maurice, &lt;a href=\"../../../movies/reviews/impromptu-19910412\"&gt;Impromptu&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=\"../../../movies/reviews/the-remains-of-the-day-19931105\"&gt;The Remains of the Day&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;) without leaving a distinct impression. This magical romantic comedy changes all that. In a star-making performance, the stylish, sexy Grant proves himself a world-class charmer. He can play love struck with no loss of intelligence and wit. And he makes it seem effortless, the way Cary Grant did in the peak days of &lt;em&gt;The Philadelphia Story&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;The Awful Truth.&lt;/em&gt; Thanks to Hugh Grant, sophisticated fun is alive and bubbling in the rum, glum &amp;apos;90s.&lt;/p&gt;\r\n&lt;wm:embed type=\"related\"&gt;&lt;/wm:embed&gt;&lt;p&gt;To fess up, the plot creaks a bit. The script by Richard Curtis (&lt;a href=\"../../../movies/reviews/the-tall-guy-19900921\"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Tall Guy&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;) starts with a wedding at which Charles (Grant), a confirmed bachelor, meets an American beauty, Carrie (Andie Mac-Dowell), and tumbles at first sight. They split after one night but meet again at a second wedding, where she introduces her fiance. The third wedding is hers; the fourth is his. In between, there&amp;apos;s a funeral.&lt;/p&gt;\r\n&lt;p&gt;It&amp;apos;s moonshine, of course. But director Mike Newell (&lt;a href=\"../../../movies/reviews/enchanted-april-19920405\"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Enchanted April&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;) uncorks this champagne farce as if the fizz won&amp;apos;t stop. It doesn&amp;apos;t, until mawkishness sets in. The cast is splendid, especially Kristin Scott Thomas as an heiress who hides her love for Charles and James Fleet as her likable clod of a brother. But what you&amp;apos;ll remember is MacDowell&amp;apos;s radiance and the blissed-out way Grant drinks it in. The pleasure of their company makes &lt;em&gt;Four Weddings&lt;/em&gt; a very special occasion.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
