ShakespeaRe-Told: Much Ado About Nothing
[Benedick and Beatrice are standing at the altar]
Benedick: Remind me, what are we doing here?
Beatrice: I have absolutely no idea.

I love Beatrice and Benedick in almost every incarnation and this is no different. Benedick and Beatrice’s love-hate banter gets transferred to a television studio where they are the co-hosts of an evening news show. Sarah Parish and Damian Lewis are fantastic and this modern day retelling is surprisingly faithful to the original.

Agreed. Much Ado is silly by design (in a good way I think), but good adaptations make that charming instead of obnoxious. This is definitely a good adaptation. :)
