With a homegrown cast to die for, and a cultural phenomenon on release, Hugh Grant brings intelligence and warmth to his archetypal bumbling Englishman, doing the rounds of the summer weddings and falling for the glamorous American (Andie MacDowell).
Fondly regarded as a true gem of British comedy, this serves up exactly what it says on the tin as it charts the escapades of Charles (Hugh Grant, About a Boy, Bridget Jones Diary) and his friends as he pursues the elusive and bewitching American Carrie through five social jaunts.
From the hilarious profanity infused opening scene, to Gareth’s supposition that getting engaged is really just a couple’s deviation from an awkward silence - “The ultimate ice breaker” - this is full of classic comedy moments and insights on the institution of marriage in 90’s Britain. Seen by many as the magnum opus of Rom Com Royalty Richard Curtis (Notting Hill, Love Actually, Blackadder, Bridget Jones) you can expect a multi-tiered sweet treat, but with a nice dry British bite to it.
And what better place to see this tale of love between a British prince (well it’s about Charles.. .perhaps not that Charles) and his beloved than in a palace? The beautiful Fulham Palace is a most romantic location for the Nomad’s Evolution of Rom-Com series as we screen well-loved movies about matters of the heart, from the swinging 70’s right up to the naughty noughties. Whether you bring a special someone or it’s a girls night out, this will be a truly splendid occasion.
