I'm another non-fan of Notting Hill, but I love Four Weddings and a Funeral in spite of Andi MacDowell. Have you seen the movie Fierce Creatures? It has most of the people from A Fish Called Wanda and was funny too.Bethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736035637103377628.post-89375399259315432152011-04-05T08:40:50.000-07:002011-04-05T08:40:50.000-07:00Interesting.

I didn't like Notting Hill at all, though 4 Weddings is one of my favorites, with the exception of Andie MacDowell, because of all the other fantastic unsung British actors (not including Hugh Grant since he's pretty much a UK/US crossover) and with loving scenes of my adopted former country. And maybe it's because I read Bridget Jones' Diary while I WAS a Londoner, I found Zellweger's portrayal insufferable. It's all your side-of-the-pond perspective, yes? (Also can't bear when Gwyneth does British, even though technically she does it fine).Denisehttp://www.confessionsofameanmommy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736035637103377628.post-8061079718530173592011-04-19T10:49:25.000-07:002011-04-19T10:49:25.000-07:00What about 'In the Loop'?

Simon Callow was wonderful in the former. I'll agree with ExpatMum on 'The Patriot' and say that the portrayal of the British was OTT, even for a movie.
