Description

Director Sunny Chan, the mastermind behind Hong Kong’s No. 1 comedy box officehit “Table for Six”, reunites the original cast and crew for three weddings, which humorously showcase the intricate relationships amongst the three couples within the Chan family. Belief in our own blessings can bring us good fortune, but what is true fortune? Fortune and misfortune, love and hate, what is their ultimate definitions? One family, three couples, three weddings. After they decided to move on, what further challenges await them? Marriage isn’t just about two individuals; it involves a whole family of aunts, uncles, and cousins. Sunny Chan, with his unique sense of humor, once again dives into the complex dynamics of modern society’s men and women, families and romance.

Whilst I did enjoy the first, more concentrated, outing for our three couples, this one descends just a little too much into farce for me. The plot all centres around the wedding banquets of the couples who, bluntly, are marrying the wrong folk! As the big day approaches, so does a surfeit of slapstick comedy that takes a swipe at many of the daftest traditions of (any) marriage ceremonies, whilst also aiming squarely at people who exploit weddings. "Bernard" (Louis Cheung) and "Monica" (Stephy Tang) now run a wedding planning agency - and not very efficiently either. Their incompetence is just the tip of the iceberg as "Lung" (Peter Chan) and "Josephine" (Ivana Wong) get embroiled in a publicity grabbing fiasco and poor old "Meow" (Lin Min Chen) - well she just pines. Why? Well that's because there's no big brother "Steve" (Dayo Wong) here, and that throws the rest of the dynamic a bit out of kilter. On the plus side we do learn a little about synthetic shark-fin soup and luckily pop idol "Mark Gor" (Jeffrey Ngai) is prepared to get his shirt wet to divert attention when the predictable familial catastrophes all loom large and the enterprise of the scheme gets well and truly beamed up. There are a few laugh out loud moments, but this is just nowhere near as intimate and engaging as the original gathering of the six. Please let's leave it alone, now?
