Red Nose Day Actually (2017 TV Short)
6/10
Good cause, good sequel
31 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
"Red Nose Day Actually" is a 15-minute live action short film from the UK that aired a week ago (March 2017) for the first time and shows us how things have changed in the last 1.5 decades for the protagonists from the very successful "Love Actually". So we get to see Neeson, Grant, Knightley, Firth and others in here once again reprising their roles from (even today) one of the most beloved Christmas films of all time. The very first scene was my favorite right away. I did not remember the actor from "The Walking Dead" was actually in "Love Actually" and boy I also did not remember how young Keira Knightley was back when this film came out. Anyway, back to this one here, it gets a bit weaker after the first scene, but it's still pretty solid and I recommend checking it out, especially to the biggest "Love Actually" fans. Those really don't want to miss out. Oh yeah, writer and director is of course again Richard Curtis and looking at how rarely he directed anything this is quite an honor, even if these 15 minutes probably also mean we will never be getting a LA sequel. Shame. But we take what we can get. See it, a really nice idea for this year's Red Nose Day.
