Plot Summary: Charles is a charming but often unlucky-in-love Englishman. He and his circle of friends navigate various social events. At a friend's wedding, Charles meets the beautiful American Carrie, and they spend a memorable night together. Their paths repeatedly cross at three more weddings and one funeral, with timing and circumstances constantly thwarting their burgeoning romance.

Dad's Preview: This is a deliciously funny yarn about a group of British thirty-something friends. All are miserably single except for Gareth and Matthew, a delightful gay couple. At the gang's first wedding Charles meets Carrie, an American working in England. They hook up and start a relationship. Charles wants more, but she refuses to commit. There are comical and deeply sad moments, as love takes a long and frustrating road to get where it's trying to go.
