More Info

This is a very fun, enjoyable movie IMO. On this night, I watched it with a small group of people who were invited from the Boulder reception to attend the special screening at the Castle Lair. For comedies, group screenings are generally prefereble, since humor seems to have a cumulative effect when multiple audience members laugh. The more people who are laughing, the funnier it becomes.

This particular movie could also be even funnier for those who have recently attended or participated in a wedding. Well, I'd say it's funny in any case. I remember laughing out of my seat when I saw the theatrical release years ago (long before the movielog era). The priest who stutters in the second wedding is the absolute best.

I have to admit that the romantic in me also enjoys the more touching moments. Besides the obvious love story arc (Hugh Grant + Andie MacDowell = Good Chemistry), the portrayal of the bond between the group of friends who attend all the events really ties it together nicely.

It's one to enjoy watching again, from time to time, esepcially after going to a wedding. :)
