(Could you even imagine the group from the movie watching something likeLove Chalet?
Maybe Gareth but only to make fun of it.)
The Protagonist
The movie:Meet Charles!
This Londoner is a bit bumbling but mostly charming.
(I mean, he looks like Hugh Grant, so.)
and is perpetually late for everything.
Hes part of a tight-knit friend group for whom hed do anything.
The miniseries:Meet Maya!
Played by Nathalie Emmanuel, shes a political speechwriter who lives in New York but is obsessed with London.
So take that for what you will.
Theyre all seemingly upper-class Brits (Tom is the seventh-richest man in England, he thinks!
), and theyve all been friends for a very long time.
Thanks to the chemistry among the actors, the friendships feel fully realized with very little context.
Dont you want to go to a wedding with these people?
Of course, though, the standout moment from the first two weddings is Rowan Atkinsons woefully under-rehearsed priest.
He appropriately gets punched in the face.
Also, quite a wedding!
It simply comes down to Kash not wanting to go through with it.
So, no, Mr.
Priest, sir, Kash does not take this woman to be his lawfully wedded wife.
The Funeral
The movie:Oh, sweetie.
You just popped in a romantic comedy because youre in the mood for love and laughter.
Audens Funeral Blues at the Mass.
and yet that is exactly what youre doing.
No way around it, sorry!
Its a heartbreakingly sobering moment amidst all the festivities.
The best part, however, is that this admission in no way permanently hurts anyone.
Its a testament to their well-worn friendship that almost immediately they are back to being the best of friends.
Unlike Fiona who would have some truly biting criticism for Duffy, if only!
Duffy finally proclaims his love in dramatic fashion (see The Declaration of Love in the Rain below).
College Duffy would be beside himself at this turn of events.
The woman of his dreams has said yes, yes, hesitantly yes!
The miniseries:Shes Ainsleys uppity mother from Texas.
Which, honestly, doesnt seem like the worst idea, now that Im thinking about it.
Charles and Carrie kiss and thats that, folks.
He has no interest in coming inside, thank you very much!
He has to tell her he loves her.
Fortunately, Maya doesnt leave the dude hanging and runs out to kiss that fool on the mouth!
Dont be wasting kisses in the rain, people!
