    • Trivia
      Andie MacDowell waived a fee for appearing in this movie, taking percentage points instead. This netted her an eventual $2 million, compared with Hugh Grant's salary of $100,000.
    • Goofs
      The image of Prince Charles is reversed. His medals are shown on his right side; however, medals are always worn on the left.
    • Quotes

      [at Gareth's funeral]

      Matthew: Gareth used to prefer funerals to weddings. He said it was easier to get enthusiastic about a ceremony one had an outside chance of eventually being involved in. In order to prepare this speech, I rang a few people, to get a general picture of how Gareth was regarded by those who met him: 'Fat' seems to have been a word people most connected with him. 'Terribly rude' also rang a lot of bells. So very 'fat' and very 'rude' seems to have been a stranger's viewpoint. On the other hand, some of you have been kind enough to ring me and let me know that you loved him, which I know he would have been thrilled to hear. You remember his fabulous hospitality, his strange experimental cooking: the recipe for "Duck à la Banana" fortunately goes with him to his grave. Most of all, you tell me of his enormous capacity for joy. When joyful, when joyful for highly vocal drunkenness. But I hope joyful is how you will remember him, not stuck in a box in a church. Pick your favourite of his waistcoats and remember him that way. The most splendid, replete, big-hearted, weak-hearted as it turned out, and jolly bugger most of us ever met. As for me, you may ask how I will remember him, what I thought of him. Unfortunately, there I run out of words. Perhaps you will forgive me if I turn from my own feelings to the words of another splendid bugger: W.H. Auden. This is actually what I want to say: "Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone. Silence the pianos and with muffled drum, Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let the aeroplanes circle, moaning overhead, Scribbling on the sky the message 'He is Dead'. Put crepe bows 'round the white necks of the public doves, Let traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest; My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song. I thought that love would last forever; I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now; put out every one, Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood, For nothing now can ever come to any good."

    • Crazy credits
      Kristin Scott Thomas, who played the hapless Fiona, never noticed by Hugh Grant, does better in the end credits where she is shown in faked photos marrying Prince Charles.
    • Alternate versions
      Charles curses heavily each time he is late for a wedding. In the italian TV version he uses milder words for the first wedding, and switches to harsh language for the others.

    Splendid, I thought. What did you think?
    I endorse those reviews that say this is a comedy first, a romance second (though the romance was enough for my wife to enjoy the film as much as I did). Thus, the comedy rings in the first wedding were funny, despite being unrealistic as some have noted. The comedy priest in the second was equally unrealistic but I found him embarrassing rather than funny. This despite being a fan of Rowan Atkinson from Not the Nine O'Clock News, Blackadder, Bean, Barclaycard adverts, etc etc. That sort of humour seemed out of place here (as in Never Say Never Again). All part of life's rich pageant - some reviewers say that Rowan's cameo is the only good thing in this movie, whilst I found it the only bit I didn't enjoy.

    I particularly enjoyed Simon Callow as Gareth. It reminded me of (as far as I can remember it) Chance in a Million. Can anyone else remember this (probably British TV only)?

    By the way, I wanted brownie points for recognising the church used for the funeral, but I see that someone has already done this (St Clements, nr Lakeside Shopping Centre, Essex). However, to those who say that after the funeral the river was not moving, I say the tide was out and that was mud!
