ah yes. so it's time for christine in the aisle. (which is actually nothing like conan in the aisle, as i will not be editing scenes of popular current movies, i'll just be whining about an old one.)
so Four Weddings and a Funeral was on tonight, and i thought, hey, i'll watch it. it's the type of movie you hear a ton about but never really watched. or maybe you did because you're a dweeb and you like dumb romantic comedies like Runaway Bride.
So Four Weddings and a Funeral. To summarize, if you haven't seen it because you're not a dweeb, it's about four weddings and a funeral. to be more accurate, actually, it's about three weddings, a funeral, and then another wedding. there's hugh grant, who i pathetically used to have a crush on, and some other people. anyway, he meets this woman at the first wedding, sleeps with her, away she goes to america, sees her again at the second wedding, sleeps with her, away she goes to america, sees her again at the third wedding, where she's getting married, someone has a heart attack, sees her again at the funeral, decides to get married, sees her at his wedding, decides not to get married, then she shows up at his house after.
so it's raining, and they're out in the street, and it has all the potential for a really romantic scene.
Hugh Grant: blah blah blah
i just realized i can't remember the exact words they said so there's no point explaining the scene in play format.
he says that he realized, at his wedding, that for the first time in his life he loved one person, just one person, and that person wasn't the person standing next to him, it was the person standing before him right now in the rain.
Woman: Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed.
which was a really dumb line, if you hadn't noticed.
then hugh grant went on to say that he's also realized marriages aren't for him, but maybe she'd like to, you know, after they get dried off, would she consider not getting married to him? and do you think not being married to me would be something you could do for the rest of your life? do you?
Woman: I do.
then they kiss
right in the pouring rain in the street.
in the classic, romantic sweet, everyone wants it to happen to them, and everyone's happy that it worked out for them because they belong together way.
except she was cringing.
that's how the movie ends. the woman he loves, she's cringing.
plus the acting was awful. just awful. no chemistry. seemed really awkward, and not just in the usual nervous hugh grant funny sort of awkward that's intended.
