Re: Favorite Hugh Grant Role?
About a Boy for me without a doubt.

Cloud Atlas, he was so good in that!
Neither the definition of them cents it better shut.
Re: Favorite Hugh Grant Role?
I think Hugh Grant is hilarious. Four Weddings and a Funeral, Love Actually and Bridget Jones Diary. Rumor has it that the role of Henry Higgins is between Hugh Grant and Colin Firth.
Re: Favorite Hugh Grant Role?
About a Boy and Two Weeks Notice. I own both of these movies and also watch them every time they are on TV
Re: Favorite Hugh Grant Role?
About a boy then Bridget Jones. I haven't seen all of his movies but without a doubt he is best in the British stuff. I don't like his American movies.
Re: Favorite Hugh Grant Role?
I would have to admit that he does make me chuckle. Not many folk have the ability to make me laugh out loud. I love Four Weddings and Love Actually. ?

Re: Favorite Hugh Grant Role?
I typically prefer Hugh’s flawed heroes or outright bad guys - About a Boy, Bridget Jones, Paddington 2. For his ‘nicer’ roles, I do like him in Maurice and Sense & Sensibility. I’m not a fan of his romcom phase.
Favorite Hugh Grant Role?
I love his performance in Four Weddings and a Funeral but probably consider Love Actually a better movie. I said this about Grant in a recent review of Four Weddings and a Funeral:
"By 2012 Hugh Grant has long become a caricature of himself. Hes moved from actor to persona and I imagine there are plenty of casting calls that go out looking for a Hugh Grant type. But in 1994 Hugh Grant was an unknown entity and Four Weddings and a Funeral was his breakout role. Before the prostitution scandal, before the ever-repetitive performances, before he was the king of rom coms, Hugh Grant was just a sort of nebbishy guy looking for love. Watching Four Weddings, its easy to see what launched Hugh Grant to superstardom. Charles is a completely self-conscious character, but there is not an ounce of self-consciousness in Grants performance. (Hes also got a brilliant comic timing. Theres a small bit near the beginning where Grant is banging his head against the wall in despair and suddenly turns to give a polite greeting as an old lady walks by. I dont know if such a small bit of physical comedy has ever made me laugh so hard)."
