Synopsis
An improvised mockumentary comedy that sees three couples attempt to win a magazine competition to find the 'Most Original Wedding of the Year'. After the wedding competition is set up by the owner of Confetti magazine - played by the comedian Jimmy Carr, three couples are chosen to compete in the finals and the film charts their progress as they attempt to win their dream marriage. Couple one--comprised of Martin Freeman (THE OFFICE) and Jessica Stevenson (SPACED)--intend to have a musical wedding. Couple two--comprised of the PEEPSHOW duo Robert Webb and Olivia Coleman--are nudists. The third couple of Stephen Mangan (GREEN WING) and Meredith MacNeill (MAN STROKE WOMAN) are obsessed with tennis. This entertaining comedy is notable for its mockumentary style and use of improvised dialogue, a device used by Christopher Guest in the films THIS IS SPINAL TAP and BEST IN SHOW. The film features appearances by several actors familiar from British comedies, such as Felicity Montagu (I'M ALAN PARTRIDGE) and Julia Davis (NIGHTY NIGHT). This frequently amusing, breezy film is a romantic comedy that manages to bring new dimensions to the genre and the use of improvised dialogue adds a freshness to it. Relying on sharp character humour, CONFETTI manages to combine its spoof documentary style and use of a traditional British romantic comedy narrative successfully.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, 25 May 2006
By Brian Moroney "ttm254" (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
'Confetti' is about a wedding magazine that organises a competition for the most innovative wedding. Three couples are chosen, each with a different theme: Matt and Samantha (Martin Freeman from the office and Jessica Stevenson from the royal family) who want musicals as their theme, Josef and Isabelle (Stephen Mangan from green wing and Meredith MacNeill) who are tennis enthusiasts, and Michael and Joanna (Robert Webb and Olivia Colman, both from peep show) who are both naturists. Filmed as a mockumentary, we follow the three couples in the three months leading up to the weddings, organised by the wedding planners Heron and Hough, who steal the show with their antics. With such a brilliant cast its no surprise that this film is outrageously funny, a definite must see!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great film, 16 Sep 2007
By John Milbank (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It's laugh out loud funny, with some great characters.

While it now appears fashionable to berate comedians like Jimmy Carr, we thought he, and the rest of the cast were excellent.

We saw it on TV, and immediately bought the DVD. It's a mocumentary, so it shouldn't really come as a surprise that it is a bit like a documentary.

Our preferred comedy is Spaced, Man Stroke Woman, Phoenix Nights, Extras, Trailer Park Boys... If you like any of that, you'll probably like this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bizarre but entertaining, 4 April 2007
By Mr. G. P. Nottage "eylant" (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It's shot very much like a documentary about Confetti magazine, and Jimmy Carr is very good as the owner of said publication. The competition to decide wedding of the year sounds bizarre, and you can see the way it's worked through to take 3 couples who all have different ideas about a performance wedding, being joined together into a single show. The best acting comes from the tennis couple, to me portraying a situation that is much closer to reality than the others.

The film was funny, particularly with the gay wedding planners finding themselves in unusual situations and enjoying being a couple more than those getting married. Worth watching, but there was more of the naturists than I expected.
