The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill But Came Down A Mountain

The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill But Came Down A Mountain

Hugh Grant stars as a young man who offends an entire town by declaring their mountain - a prized local landmark - to be a "hill". But he soon finds the eccentric locals, led by a witty innkeeper (Colm Meaney), will stop at nothing to defend their honour.

While the townspeople rally around their "mountain", a fiery young woman (Tara Fitzgerald) charms the puzzled out-of-towner into seeing things their way. Enjoy the laughs as the hilarious townspeople rise to the occasion - and the bewildered visitor stumbles into love when he least expects it!
