Four Weddings and a Funeral (DVD review)

Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) starring Hugh Grant, Andie MacDowell. For the first time I must chastise the DVD of a movie I love. This is one of the great romantic comedies, with many funny and moving lines of dialogue. Unfortunately, for an American, many of them are hard to understand because the movie takes place in England and there's that bloody accent to contend with. No problem, I would usually say, just turn on the subtitles in English. But wait -- this disc has subtitles only in Spanish! How many lovely turns of phrase must have been missed? I, for one, had trouble understanding about a quarter of the dialogue. Movie: A. DVD: C
