Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Vonia Confetti (2006) British mockumentary. Oh, how I laughed. Why the low ratings? My powers of deductive reasoning reveal that the nudity might have something to do with that. Furthermore, Colman & Webb, who played the Naturists, claim that they were misled as to how much of their nudity would be seen in the final edit. Colman claims to have had trust issues ever since. Whether true or not, they decided to forego legal proceedings. Webb's public proclamation that this film was an "underwhelming mess", therefore, biased. A documentation on a reality competition show to discover The Most Original Wedding of the Year. Host? Confetti Magazine, A Bride's Best Friend. Laughs, crises, shenanigans, shocks. Not always funny, but always engaging. All the characters had their role. The pretentious owner of "Confetti", the prude editor, the gay couple wedding planners ("Heron and Hough: Your dreams are enough"), each of the couples and respective family and friends (notably Samantha's cruise performer sister, her mother who is a completely disrespectful to her ex husband and Samantha's father when he tries to attend his daughter's wedding, Matthew's best friend Snoopy who passively aggressively expresses his dislike for the wedding in lyrics he wants to sing as best man), the premarriage counselor, the choreographer, etcetera. The actual weddings are a delight. Vows read to the tune of a tennis match. Ball boys. Rings in hollowed out tennis balls. The naturists bare all, despite editor Vivienne's adamant protests, and Heron and Hough do likewise, riding in on a bicycle. Showgirl style 1940s Broadway tunes, romantic musical vows. Regardless of all the drama, the weddings are adorably and hilariously sentimental. The saddest thing is that the weddings illustrated are not even that much of an exaggeration, if at all. Silly? Yes. Stupid? Often. Overdone? Agreed. Smart? Definitely. Hilarious? Indubitably. This is a comedy. A mockumentary to be exact. What else do you expect? As long as those last two elements are there, consider it a success. One competition. 3 weddings. 1 winner. The prize? A new house. Maybe.
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.
mistermike-2 Mockumentary that follows three couples as they compete for the title of "Most Original Wedding". Prudes may be offended by the nudity, but it is done in a very non-sexual way. The nude scenes are quite long and are not filmed through smoke or other obstructions. Men and women are mingling and being interviewed while totally naked. You actually get a glimpse of what it's like to go to a nudist colony. I am glad that I decided to watch the full film. The payoff at the end was worth the time I spent loathing and yawning through the first hour of this trying-too-hard-to-be-funny movie. The final competition scenes are wonderful, heart touching, and very well done.
jotix100 "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.
