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

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

Comedy favorite 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 honor! While the townspeople rally around their "mountain," a fiery young woman (Tara Fitzgerald) 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!

Synopsis: Two English cartographers visit the small South Wales village of Ffynnon Garw, to measure what is claimed to be the "first mountain inside of Wales". It's 1917, and the war in Europe continues. The villagers are very proud of their "mountain", and are understandably dissapointed and furious to find that it is in fact a "hill". Not to be outwitted by a rule (and the Englishmen who enforce it), the villagers set out to make their hill into a mountain, but to do so they must keep the English from leaving, before the job is done.
