Four Weddings and A Funeral

John Hannah: 40%

In this resurrection of the British film industry, John plays the gay lover of Simon Callow. His pithy understated delivery is an effective contrast to Hugh Grant's stammerings and blusterings and he's a real scene stealer. As for the film, what can I write that hasn't been said already? I saw it three times at the cinema and even now can find something new in it each time I watch it. Richard Curtis, scriptwriter of Blackadder, developed the film and this has much to do with the way it balances sadness and comedy so well. Of course the fact that much of the action takes place in the drama-laden environs of various wedding days and that the guys look great in morning suits also helps!
