10 Almost Great Movies Derailed By A Single Embarrassing Moment

5. "Is It Raining? I Hadn't Noticed." - Four Weddings and a Funeral

Four Weddings And A Funeral British writer/director Richard Curtis is mostly known for his brilliant wit, but he's also known for his ridiculous obsessions with the sentimental - he's penned some of the most Godawfully cringe-worthy and soppy lines in film history, of which this one is probably the worst (though Notting Hill's "I'm just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love her" gives it a run for its money). Still, this one is made three times worse through delivery alone. Andie MacDowell was the lucky girl who got to utter this dialogue back when Four Weddings and a Funeral came out, and although for the most part the movie is a genuinely good one, the reunion scene at the end - which brings MacDowell and bumbling brit Hugh Grant together in the pouring rain - ends on such a corny note that it ruins the movie. "Is it raining?" MacDowell says without expression, apparently too lovestruck to take interest in the weather. "I hadn't notice." Truly awful in every imaginable way, Richard Curtis. Stop it.
