MY OPINION ABOUT THE NOVEL.
I think that... This film is emotionant because there are 4 weddings in a few days. In each wedding are different storys/ different people but in all there are Charles and his friends. In one wedding dies Gareth (Charles' friend) when I read this I thought that I didn't want that in my wedding. 
Definitely this film is very funny because the characters are so happiest... I liked this novel.

Here you can see the trailer from the film!
