We catch up to most of the "Four Weddings and a Funeral" characters in this nostalgic short. The wedding of Charles & Carrie's daughter to the daughter of Fiona may be done for politically correct reasons, but it's still great to see the old cast, even David (David Bower) who has not been on-screen in a while.
The jokes are mostly culled from the movie, so they are mostly hit or miss. Still, it was delightful to see Tom (James Fleet) get to do one of Charles' best bits from the film.
I didn't expect a laugh riot, so this short given it's limited production time is pretty much what I expected. Even if the Richard Curtis and Mike Newell return to their respective roles of writer and director.
One bit of disappointment is that Simon Callow does not make an appearance. Sure, Garreth died in the original film, but this type of short should've allowed for the actor to return even in another role. Oh well. It's still enjoyable, if not quite hilarious fun.
