Confetti Reviews
Even if it's not quite an affair to remember all year, this BBC Films mockumentary about three wacky weddings is pleasant and enjoyably diverting...
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 30, 2006
It's inspired, glorious chaos.

What works for Christopher Guest's dedicated comedy troupe (and it doesn't always work) isn't so easy to imitate, especially with actors lacking in basic improv skills.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 22, 2006
There's some genuine heart here, particularly in Sam and Matt's subplot.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 22, 2006
As is typical of many weddings, the planning drags, and so does the movie.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 22, 2006
With barely a laugh to be found, Confetti takes the 'mock' right out of the mockumentary.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 22, 2006
A British import that proves how dangerous improvisation can be when not handled with proper care.

Cute and exasperating and, in the end, not nearly lunatic enough; it's a Christopher Guest movie without the fangs.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 22, 2006
The final ceremonies are also winning, the Naturist Wedding in particular so surprisingly moving and emotional I actually had to dip into my purse for some Kleenex.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 22, 2006
Overall, Confetti is agreeable and appropriately daft, though occasionally tepid and contrived.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 21, 2006
Confetti fires off the occasional good line, but it mostly just beats its jokes to within an inch of their very short lives.

The climactic scenes possess an irresistible charm, as each wedding turns out to be just perfect.

The savvy British actors sweating for our amusement in Debbie Isitt's comedy, a fairly funny mockumentary-style lark about a magazine-sponsored wedding competition, fare better than their self-generated material.

Confetti has an innate sweetness -- especially when it comes to Archibald and Gregory, the most endearing of all the twosomes.

The problem with this pretend documentary about engaged couples competing for most over-the-top nuptials is that it comes perilously close to what's on reality 온라인카지노추천.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 15, 2006
A strained, ultra-predictable and headache-inducing mockumentary.
Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 15, 2006
Like the average best-man toast, Debbie Isitt's amiable mockumentary has many funny moments, a few touching ones and some that fall just slightly flat.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 15, 2006
Comic timing, themes of tolerance and commitment and the marriage of farce and empathy lift the film above the mockumentary pack.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 14, 2006
The movie manages to slag off beautifully on the honchos of reality television without patronizing either the form or the fame-and-fortune-hungry multitudes who queue up for their 15 minutes.

This verite-style confection wears away at your resistance by way of an enthusiastic, ad-libbing cast of United Kingdom cutups.
