Three Weddings and a Funeral' without the originality.

Rating: 7/10 (23 December 2003)

Sometimes great movies aren't born  they're made. This is one of those. Lots of money, big names, and a well-tested formulaic script that is cleverly enough edited to be enjoyable (just). It's the perfect thing for a hangover when your brain is barely functioning. The loosely related love lives of eight couples, including a befuddled Hugh Grant as Prime Minister (who at least stands up to the American President  very topical) gallop into a hectic run-up to Christmas. Three Weddings and a Funeral' without the originality.
