Product Description

Comedy favorite Hugh Grant (BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY) stars as a young man who offends an entire town by declaring their mountain -- a prized landmark -- to be a "hill." But soon he finds the eccentric locals, led by a witty innkeeper (Colm Meaney -- STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION) will stop at nothing to defend their honor! While the townspeople rally around their "mountain," a fiery young woman (Tara Fitzgerald -- SIRENS) charms the puzzled out-of-towner into seeing things their way! You'll be elevated by laughter as the hilarious townspeople rise to the occasion -- and the bewildered visitor stumbles into love when he least expects it!

Although it’s a pretty long title, when someone asks what my favorite movie is, it’s always “The Englishman That Went Up A Hill But Came Down A Mountain”. It’s endearing, sweet, comical in spots and shows the determination mankind can have. I highly recommend it!

Hugh Grant is great as The Englishman! Documents a historic event showing Welsh pride and determination! Nicely cast and convincing story line. Best credits show the actual Mountain and today's village people are still very proud of their Mountain! Good Family Film!

Almost 30 years later and it's still a good movie. Comical townsfolk with an inspiring plot proves that an enjoyable family film can be made with no profanity or excessive special effects.

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming, simply charming
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2009

American moviegoers, I am sad to say, have a tendency to think of comedy only in broad terms. If a film isn't filled with bawdy jokes or slapstick humor, then it can't possibly be really funny, right?

Wrong.

"The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain" is a gentle comedy about simple people in a small Welsh village during World War I who take great pride in the mountain in whose valley the town is located. But when two British surveyors come to measure the mountain as a part of the war effort, the townsfolk are dismayed to discover that -- at least by the British standards -- their mountain is only a hill. Of course, the Welsh will do anything to ensure that their mountain is deemed a mountain.

Underlying the humor of this film is the poignancy of a community that is trying to hold on to its identity in the face of a war that has devastated the population and has left the community something of a shadow of its former self. They have lost men in war -- some killed, some who come back shell-shocked -- and so they do what they can and what they must in order to hang on to their identity. The scene in which a shell-shocked young man journeys up the mountain during a thunderstorm is particularly moving.

Although the Brits can do broad, over-the-top comedy as well as anyone else (Monty Python comes to mind), they also have the knack of doing small, gentle comedies as well as, if not better, than anyone else. And the scenery of Wales is absolutely breathtaking.

We got this movie on DVD to replace an old VCR tape. We enjoy the Rom-com story line, but both copies we got have frequent "jumps" in the action. Disappointed with manufacture quality.

I know, it’s not a blockbuster, it’s never going to be anything but what it is. But it’s full of good actors portraying wonderful characters. Proof that a community with a common goal can set aside differences and make something they can all be proud of.

The advert stated that this DVD was in PAL format which was what I wanted. It did not state that it was Region 2 and could not be played in Australia. I overcame the problem but suggest care when advertising any further DVDs. Otherwise service was great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quel beau film émouvant
Reviewed in France on July 14, 2016

Un vrai régal. L'histoire est belle, avec un esprit d'entraide qui émeut, c'est ironique aussi et les acteurs sont fabuleux. J'adore ce film et l'ai fait découvrir à mes amis et famille, tous l'ont également beaucoup apprécié. On passe un bon moment. J'aime beaucoup aussi la fin avec les "descendants" des protagonistes qui remesurent la "montagne" et, devinez quoi.... trop drôle. C'est un vrai bon moment que de savourer de regarder ce film. Un grand MERCI à tout ceux qui ont permis que ce film existe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lehrer: "Es ist ein Hügel". Reverend Jones: "Ein Hügel...!"
Reviewed in Germany on June 16, 2014

Als die durchreisenden Landschaftsvermesser Anson und Garrad den Bewohnern eines walisischen Dorfes mitteilen, dass ihr Berg Ffynnon Garw leider nur ein Hügel ist (es fehlen 20 Fuß), machen sie sich damit keine Freunde. Aber die Dorfbewohner haben ihren eigenen Weg zur Lösung des Problems gefunden, es wird einfach so lange Erde auf den Berg gekippt, bis er hoch genug ist. Während Morgan "der Bock", Thomas Tumb und Thomas Tumb 2, Jones "das Gesetzbuch", Reverend Jones, Johnny "Granatkoller", Tommy "Zweitakter", Evans "das Weltende" und viele andere Erde auf den Gipfel tragen, sorgt die schöne Betty dafür, dass Anson erst mal nicht weg will ;) und Garrad bleibt sowieso überall, wo es viel zu trinken gibt. Zur Sicherheit manipuliert Reverend Jones das Auto von Anson und Garrad, und der Automechaniker Jones "das Petroleum" muss den beiden leider mitteilen, dass das defekte Teil, ein bethyngalw (deutsch: wie heißt das noch mal), nicht vor zwei Wochen zu kriegen ist... Am Ende schaffen sie es doch, aus Ffynnon Garw wird ein Berg und Anson und Betty... ne, das verrate ich nicht, kauft Euch den Film und guckt ihn an! Und wer denkt, dass er gut Englisch versteht, der sollte sich den Film mal mit Originalton ansehen, Englisch mit walisischem Akzent ist nicht so leicht zu verstehen.
