For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Aren't 'mountain' and 'hill' reversed in that title, Whickerman? I haven't seen the film, but I understand Hugh Grant is a surveyor sent to measure a piece of high ground in Wales which the locals think is a mountain. He finds it is, in fact, only a hill, according to the official definition...ie presumably it's lower than 2,000 feet. The locals then set about raising its height so that it qualifies as a mountain at perhaps 2001 feet!
