Confetti (2006) 8/10

Starring : Martin Freeman, Jessica Stevenson, Stephen Mangan, Meredith MacNeill, Robert Webb, Olivia Colman
Director : Debbie Isitt
Running Time : 99 mins

Three couples compete to appear on the front cover of wedding magazine Confetti be holding the most originally themed wedding. Matt (Freeman) and Sam (Stevenson) have a theme of Hollywood musicals, Josef (Mangan) and Isabelle (MacNeill) want a tennis themed wedding, and Michael (Webb) and Joanna (Colman) want to get married as nature intended - in the nude.

This mockumentary is at times very funny but also quite moving. I actually wanted Mangan and MacNeill to win the cover shoot and house based on the fact that the whole contest was rigged, but also wanted Webb and Colman to win because they'd basically been told they couldn't if they performed the wedding naked. Some very good insights into the world of the reality contest, this is a must see for any fan of traditional British comedy in the vein of Four Weddings And A Funeral.
