![]() ![]() (*) Playing one of their more lyrically complex songs, no less.Īubrey Plaza and Chris Pratt were terrific, but what really sold it all was Amy Poehler’s performance, and the way that – after hearing Simon & Garfunkel’s “April Come She Will” on the stereo, and seeing the blissful looks on April and Andy’s faces as they high-fived each other, Leslie – buttoned-down, uptight, superhumanly anal retentive uber-planner Leslie – gave herself over to this madness and let herself see that while this felt crazy, it also felt right. A wedding with black tie, with flowery declarations of love, with any band other than Mouse Rat(*) would not have felt like a wedding that Andy Dwyer and April Roberta Ludgate would actually be a part of. Is that cool?” Looked at from another perspective (Leslie late in the episode), it’s oddly beautiful, really romantic and wholly appropriate for these two. Looked at from one perspective (Leslie at the start of the party), what Andy and April are doing here is ridiculous: the speed with which they did it, Andy opting for his Reggie Wayne jersey instead of a tux, the multiple best men, wedding vows with lines like April’s “I want to spend the rest of my life with you. There was no surprise factor, but there was still that usual complicated, intoxicating mix of laughs and sweetness that “Parks and Rec” consistently nails.

But I’ll say this: because of that promo mix-up, I wasn’t shocked about the revelation of what April and Andy were doing with their party. That’s unfortunate that the promo people confused the two surprise wedding storylines. Now if you’ll excuse us, we have to go shoot the season finale surprise Jerry-Donna wedding scene.” ![]() We sincerely hope that fans of the show are cool with us gently lying to them, in an effort to maintain the surprise nuptials as much as we could. In an effort to undo the spoiler, we publicly stated, in a number of interviews, that NBC had just accidentally gotten the character names wrong, and that there was no upcoming Andy-April wedding. “The promo that aired after ‘Ron and Tammy Part 2,’ which inadvertently gave away the upcoming wedding between Andy and April, was a simple human error on the part of some very apologetic NBC employees. “I cannot emphasize how little we thought about this.” -Andyįirst, we interrupt this review to bring you a message from “Parks and Rec” co-creator Mike Schur (whom you might also know by the names Mose Schrute and Ken Tremendous): A review of tonight’s “Parks and Recreation” coming up just as soon as I change my Britta filter… ![]()
