He cannot stop running into Carrie (Andie MacDowell), a charming American with whom -- Charles realizes at his own wedding to another woman -- he has fallen in love.
The movie, which hit U.S. screens last spring, explores the drama of major life changes inherent in weddings and funerals.
It's the perfect movie for the thirty-something generation, because it highlights singles' fears of seeing everyone else getting married. But the consolation is the movie's message that marriage is not the ultimate answer.
The excellent cast and script employ both overt and subtle humor. The acid comments of Charles's friend Gareth -- he contends that proposing marriage is the ultimate icebreaker -- add a brilliant cynical touch. Carrie's recounting of her 33 lovers is one of the movie's most memorable scenes.
Also at the Americom is "Baby's Day Out," a John Hughes comedy about a tot who escapes his parents and roams Chicago, pursued by three men after the $5 million reward for his return.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
