That was an excellent one.

Nice effects though.

A lot of fun.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I had some hope held out for this comedy, on the face of it a surreal satire on TV makeover shows. It doesn't work out particularly well, although it's sabotaged almost form the start by the insipid Jimmy Carr, whose character (improvised, as most of the roles are) makes tart, self- conscious gags and then proceeds to tongue-lash everybody else. I managed 30 mins of this film in which time I'd seen some of the better small- screen sketch faces from British television go through their moves. Stephen Mangan is the pick of the bunch (Carr could learn some lessons from him about being a boo-him-from-the-stalls baddie) and it's always a surreptitious delight to see Felicity Montague. Even if I hadn't determined on an early night I would have been put off by the half-hearted Gilbert & George-a-likes which just showed the limits of Debbie Isitt's imagination. 2/10

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.

To be honest, i don't understand all the great comments made about this film. It was bound to be a good film considering the excellent cast (from The Office, Alan Partridge, Spaced, all my top favourite comedies) and i was looking forward to seeing it. However, it did not make me laugh in the slightest. It has been filmed on the model of The Office, it's DEJAVU and doesn't work out in my opinion. The story line is silly, i didn't find it funny in the slightest and it bored me so much i would never watch it again ( i have just bought the DVD and i'm selling it back straightaway!) I would certainly not recommend this film to anyone unless you have time to waste.

"Confetti" is a sort of mockumentary that tries to do what Christopher Guest has been doing for years with better results. Director Debbie Isitt shows she has the know how to present her mildly funny comedy that involves a contest sponsored by a magazine with three finalist couples, one of whom will win the prize and the exposure such events usually bring.After the three couples are selected, the finalist are the couple that want to have the Hollywood musical themed wedding. The second couple elects to see a tennis themed ceremony and finally, there are the nudists, who insists they want to be married in the buff.Confetti, the magazine, engages a pair of gay wedding planners to put some sense into this enterprise. Little do Archie and Gregory realize what they are about to get into. Archie and Gregory are a gay duo that love to dress alike and they have to deal with all the drama behind the scenes in the contest.Ms. Isitt gets some good results out of the large cast. Best of all are Vincent Franklin and Jason Watkins, the wedding planners, without a doubt. These two are fun to watch at all times. Martin Freeman has some good moments as Matt. Stephen Mangan and Meredith McNeill are seen as the tennis couple. Robert Webb and Olivia Colman play the nudists.The fun finale compensates for some dull moments within the film. Let's hope Ms. Isitt comes out with a funnier picture on her next project.
