Hilarious example of Brit Comedy at it's best!
The film is about 3 couples who are battling it out for the most original wedding of the year. Filmed in a documentary style and with a completely improvsised dialogue, this movie is absolutely hilarious.
The film, aside from being hilarious, really touched on some serious topics connected with relationships and especially marriage...the interfering 'good intentioned' family, jealousy, public perceptions of the norm...most of all the film reinforced what is important.
I was in two-minds about this film, I hadn't been convinced by the trailers I had seen and the reviews I had read hadn't convinced me. In all honesty if the tickets for tonight hadn't been free I wouldn't have gone. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The story, despite it's documentary style, was believable, the acting credible and the fluency of the stories spot on! If you enjoy Brit comedy especially along the lines of The Office, Spaced and Shaun of the Dead then this is a definite film for you! -

This isn't Spinal Tap
Tapping into the rich vein of 'mockumentaries', Confetti is a British attempt at stealing Christopher Guest's crown.
Confetti is a fake documentary following the lives of 3 couples who enter a competition for best themed wedding. The cast list is full of fairly well-known comedians (most of the Peep Show cast feature here). Unfortunately even their collective effort can't save this pretty average film.
If you want to watch a good 'mockumentary', type Christopher Guest into the top bar and rent 'This is Spinal Tap' and/or 'Best in Show'.
Only watch this if you really have to. -

Auntie strikes deal for feature length comedies
- 07 Jul 2006
Remember the good old days? The days when people drank Yorkshire tea, ate Hovis bread and enjoyed a Werthers Original in front of a feature length BBC comedy? Ah Halycon days indeed, and now the only place you can catch a glimpse of idyllic 'old' England is in a television advert for a product that probably didn't even exist all those many moons ago. Well, forget about Asbos and global warming for a moment because good old Auntie- the BBC for the younger among us- is set to take us back to the... Read more
