Is it raining? I hadn't noticed

It was the line that led to many viewers poking fun at Andie MacDowell's character Carrie.

The remark was made at the end of the film when Carrie and Hugh Grant's Charles share a climatic kiss.

MacDowell later defended the line.

She told the Daily Mail: “‘The character was so in love, she wasn’t thinking about the rain. I think perhaps it was raining a bit hard for the line. But that wasn’t my fault. Mike Newell was directing. I wasn’t going to disagree with him.”
