Keeping with the cheese theme, Four Weddings also made me think about the worst lines of dialogue I've ever heard. Four Weddings, famously, has the Dread Andie McDowell utter the following tripe:
Hugh: There I was, standing there in the church, and for the first time in my whole life I realized I totally and utterly loved one person. And it wasn't the person next to me in the veil. It's the person standing opposite me now... in the rain.CLUNK!Andie: Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed.
Several other groaners immediately come to mind. How about Hayden Christensen's permutations on sand?
Natalie: We used to come here for school retreat. We would swim to that island every day. I love the water. We used to lie out on the sand and let the sun dry us and try to guess the names of the birds singing.And then a movie later, they give this stubborn floater another flush:Hayden (while suggestively caressing Natalie's arm): I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft...and smooth.
Natalie: "Hold me like you did by the lake on Naboo."Presumably she means "creepily."
Hugh Grant might be the finest actor of his generation. In Notting Hill, he keeps a straight face through this:
Julia: I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.
Those are mine. How about you? Does love mean never having to say you're sorry? Should Baby be put in a corner?
I think I already know Dorkass' response. From The Wedding Singer:
Nobody treats Billy Idol that way!
