TAKEN FOR GRANTED

Today's Best 1176 Film requires that you forget you ever saw Hugh Grant before.

This is the picture that he first appeared with his then winsome, confused, awkward boy act. The act which he has never, ever dropped. The one which has become so boring and a caricature of itself.

That having been said, and the idea of Hugh Grant suspended, you can thoroughly enjoy Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) as a comedy of bad and good manners. After all, weddings and funerals bring out our best and worst.

Good for Grant that the other performances are top rate from Simon Callow, Kristin Scott Thomas, Rowan Atkinson and Sophie Thompson and others.

You can scratch horseface Andie McDowell too. She is actually not all that attractive as Grant's love interest. Harsh.

I started this thinking a 4 but now I think a 3 out of Netflix5.

Sure, I laughed and cried. It is guaranteed. Don't we all get all emotional at weddings and funerals? Well, maybe a 4. I will wait and see. I don't have to decide until they get the disc back. Is it disC or disK? DVD.
