Ključna riječ Snob

Charles (Hugh Grant) je engleski neženja i bonvivan koji mnoštvo vremena provodi odlazeći na vjenčanja svojih bivših i sadašnjih prijatelja, koji su se počeli ženiti u velikom broju. Iako ga to ne brine previše, Charles se s vremena na vrijeme upita hoće li se on sam ikada oženiti. Na jednom od navedenih vjenčanja upozna prekrasnu Amerikanku Carrie (Andie MacDowell), s kojom provede noć i u koju se zaljubi, iako ona na sve gleda kao na seks za jednu noć. Na sljedećem vjenčanju Charles saznaje da je Carrie zaručena, no to ih ipak ne spriječi da ponovno spavaju zajedno. Carrie će se uskoro udati, a Charles je sve neutješniji. No, možda ipak nije kasno?

Hyacinth Bucket (whose name, she insists, is pronounced "Bouquet") is a suburban housewife in the West Midlands. She would be the first to tell you that she is a gracious hostess, a respected citizen, and a well-connected member of high society. If you don't believe that, just ask her best friend Elizabeth, held captive in Hyacinth's kitchen; or the postmen and neighbours who bristle at the sound of her voice; or Richard, her weary and compliant husband. In fact, Hyacinth's reputation could be as perfect as her new lounge set, if not for her senile father's love of running wild in the nip. Oh, and she would prefer it if her brother-in-law was a sharper dresser. And that her husband was more ambitious. And that her sisters were more presentable. And do take your shoes off before you come in the house, dear. Mind that you don't brush against the wallpaper.
