CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

southcoastsounds A wedding is difficult enough without competing with two other couples to win the "wedding of the year" competition for a bridal magazine. The three short-listed couples are assigned a pair of wedding planners who help them develop a distinctive theme for their nuptials. One couple choose a tennis theme, another a Busby Berkley muscial theme and the other couple choose to be true to themselves and choose "naturism".The film sees the development of the wedding plans over several weeks, and culminates in the big day itself when all three marriages are celebrated there and then at a classic awards ceremony complete with celebrity guests quaffing champagne at round tables while a panel of judges decide who wins the prize - a dream house.The film has so many well-known faces from British comedy it is hard to know who to mention first. Jimmy Carr does a marvellous job as the organiser of the competition, and Steven Mangan portrays a typically aggressive and touchy competitor. Martin Freeman provides an able depiction foil to Alison's Steadman's over-defensive mother-in-law to be. My favourite couple were Robert Webb and Olivia Colman who bravely have to perform much of the film naked. Webb's character is an unabashed militant naturist who tends to rip off his clothes wherever the fancy takes him, but his fiancée is more modest and seems to view the approaching wedding with a sense of dread.This film was totally enjoyable from start to end and in my view deserves a high score - not for its intellectual challenge but for its good humour and great acting from its cast who all have a track record for producing hilarious comedy.

Gordon-11 This film is a simulated documentary about three couples participating a contest to make an unusual and memorable wedding.What I really liked this film is that it looked very spontaneous and real. It was intense, and things happened every second. It was hilarious that the wedding planners seemed to do everything they can to spoil the weddings. Their simulated campness was also remarkable and believable. The stress of organising a marriage was also well portrayed, and I felt for them completely.My favourite scene was when Martin Freeman was in the tub, and suddenly the two wedding planners come in. Martin Freeman then tried to get as much bubble over his bits as possible. It was so funny!

Benjamin Cox It's inevitable that when something becomes a massive hit, everybody and their uncle tries to emulate the idea. Personally, I blame Ricky Gervais's sit-com "The Office" for this improvised foray into the chaos and havoc that normally come with organising a wedding - something I am currently experiencing myself. Trouble is, this isn't anywhere nearly as funny or believable as the misadventures of David Brent, despite a large ensemble cast really trying their best."Confetti" is a spoof documentary following the efforts of Confetti magazine to run a competition for the most originally themed wedding of the year, the prize being a house and a front-cover photo-shoot. Trouble is, the three couples they have picked all raise issues with the competition's organiser Antoni (Jimmy Carr). For the Tennis-themed wedding, Josef and Isabelle (Steven Mangan and Meredith MacNeill) seem more obsessed with winning than actually getting married. For Matt and Sam (Martin Freeman and Jessica Stevenson), rehearsals for their Musical-themed wedding are marred by family disputes and choreographer trouble. And as for the Naturist wedding of Michael and Joanna (Robert Webb and Olivia Colman)... well, it appears as though Confetti magazine isn't prepared to have naked people on the front cover just yet.There is so much potential here for comedy gold that it's actually distressing that so much of it goes to waste. Because each scene is improvised there and then, the whole film feels messy and cluttered with dialogue that may be very funny but you missed it because someone else was talking. I also found it very hard to sympathise with anyone but the two camp wedding planners (Vincent Franklin and Jason Watkins) because a) they're much funnier than the others and b) they're much more likable, comedic stereotypes though they are. Nothing about "Confetti" feels genuine so you never really buy into the concept of these six nutters having the wedding of their dreams (and hopefully, nobody elses!). And to be honest, it's also obvious who is going to win the thing at the end which is a real shame because with our interest flagging, that was the only reason my Better Half and I kept watching.I don't think Spinal Tap have anything to worry about just yet but "Confetti" really could have been great instead of the plodding, wasted-opportunity that it is. It's slow, uninteresting and largely unfunny, though they are one or two gentles laughs to be found if you look hard enough. The actors all try their best but not having a script really separates the wheat from the chaff. Carr is razor-sharp and genuinely funny but Mangan betrays his comic career on TV by over-acting like his life depended on it. With a stronger supporting cast and tighter scripting, this could have been a real gem instead of the lump of coal that it is. "Confetti" drags its feet towards its conclusion and chances are, you would have lost interest in proceedings anyway. Do what me and the missus are going to do - fly to St Lucia and get married on a beach. Just pray that this isn't the in-flight movie!

TequilaMockingbird63 Can I just say that I love this film, in the same way that I love Waiting For Guffman and Best In Show. It made me laugh out loud and it made me wince with embarrassment for the characters. A BRILLIANT cast of British comedy actors deliver deadpan dialogue in this highly amusing mockumentary. Now, I noticed some posts said "Americans won't get the "Brittish humor", that couldn't be farther from the truth! Im an American and a big fan of "good mocumentarys" and this film certainly ranked right up there at the cream of the crop of comedy.There's Matt and Sam who want a Hollywood musical wedding in the style of Busby Berkley. Josef and Isabelle who are highly competitive tennis players who want a Wimbledon-style wedding.Michael and Joanne who want to get married in the buff because they're naturists. The fourth and funniest couple are wedding planners Heron & Hough, Excessively camp who describe themselves as "mad as cheese". They have the most difficult job of trying to make each couple's dream become reality. Each character was more twisted than the next including the competition organizer Vivien and Antoni who were duly concerned about the size of Isabelle's nostrils, and the cat fighting sister and mother of Sam. Political correctness should take a back seat and say "I DO" to this highly exaggerated comedy of errors. 10 out of 10.
