[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Worst ever? As in I can't watch this part of the movie and it's ruined for me? Andie McDowell 3 Weddings and a Funeral. No question. Such a shame. [/quote]

Yes, THANK YOU. Can't stand her in general, but this was the worst. "Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed." Ugh.[/quote]

To be fair, that's the writing. I can't think of anyone who could pull that crap off. This is the same guy that had Julia Roberts say, "I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her."

But if it's any comfort, she wasn't first on anyone's list for the role:

[quote]The original choice for the role of Carrie was Jeanne Tripplehorn, but she had to drop out because of a death in her family.[10] Marisa Tomei and, reportedly, Sarah Jessica Parker, were also considered before Andie MacDowell was cast.[7] MacDowell took a 75% cut in her fee to appear, receiving $250,000 upfront, but due to the success of the film, she earned around $3 million.[11][/quote]

Andie MacDowell has said that she never understood complaints about the infamous rain scene at the end of 1994’s Four Weddings and a Funeral.

The scene, which features a climactic kiss in the pouring rain between MacDowell’s Carrie and Hugh Grant’s Charlie, is capped by Carrie asking, “Is it raining? I hadn’t noticed."

It has often been voted one of the worst lines of dialogue in film history.

“Honestly, I really don’t get why the rain scene is regarded as such a big deal,” MacDowell told The Guardian. “It’s beautiful and we were freezing filming it.”

“But I imagine even Richard is surprised that that one line has got so much attention,” she continued, referencing the film’s screenwriter Richard Curtis.

“When the film came out there were absolutely no complaints, everybody loved it. The complaints and comments all happened years later.”[/quote][/quote]
