48 free Four Weddings and a Funeral trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Four Weddings and a Funeral was shot in 36 days on a budget so tight that extras wore their own wedding clothes and Rowan Atkinson played the vicar twice to save hiring another actor. It then became the highest-grossing British film ever made, sent a Wet Wet Wet single to number one for 15 weeks, put a W. H. Auden poem back into print and turned Hugh Grant into an overnight star. This quiz covers the film itself, from Charles's serial lateness to the thunderbolt at the final kiss, and the story behind it: the actors who were cast first and dropped out, the actor Richard Curtis actually wanted, the 17 drafts, the title the American distributor tried to change, and the Comic Relief reunion 25 years later. Expect questions on the cast, the locations, the box office and the one-word swap made for US audiences. Fifty questions, four options each, with a short explanation after every answer. The easy ones anyone who has seen it will get; the expert ones are for people who have read the production notes.
