Pretty Good
Absolutely the worst movie.
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
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
Delightful British mockumentary may not have all the sustainability and directional thrust of a vintage Guest film but still offers a refreshing and original venture into the popular up-and-coming genre of fake non-fiction. Taking place over several weeks, Confetti comically documents three very unique couples and their eccentric quests to win over a bridal magazine's "most original wedding" contest. With the help of an offbeat pace, these couples are transported to the surreal world of grossly irrelevant party planning, as imagined by two wacky staff party lovers.It sounds like mildly stimulating entertainment, and for the most part it does play out as an elegant time waster, but this inventive mock-up must not be overlooked when viewing all of the subtle, quirky direction that creator Debbie Isitt employs to give this film some remarkable shades of sincerity against the absurd contest parody. Each of these fabulously improvised couples help make the wacky farce as eclectic as possible, and while everyone embraces their roles, some viewers will feel loud silences being awkwardly filled in by the hard working cast. At times, there is simply too much space for the improv comedy to truly take hold with this cast, but many subtle hints at brilliance lie beneath the half-great attempt, justifying a viewing to any open minded, mature yet irreverent adults.
This Film has an ass kicking humor and excellent crew cast.Don't Miss out this all time of totally excellent opportunity of humor, and stomach age.. ;)The story itself is nothing to get exited about but it is the humor and the characters that is worth seeing.Don't miss out, just run along down to the nearest store and buy it don't go to the movies, too much noise from all the other laughing people. ;)Miss a little bit more comedy scenes, but it is still enough, but why stop there.. hahaha
Simplicity can either work for a film or against it. Confetti just happens to rise above the fad of reality TV enough to comment on it and on some of our comfort zones.There may be some repetitive reaction shots and either you appreciate the inclusive spirit of the film or you don't. That may influence a few ratings.Martin Freeman (Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Shaun of the Dead) once again turns his reaction-to-absurd-surroundings schtick to new heights. The rest of the cast is excellent but he manages to ground the movie.Though the directing is deceptively simple for much of the film it is definitely not just coverage. There are brilliant shock value moments and sustained beats of comic discomfort. Despite the mock documentary format, the ending presentations allow a display of razzle dazzle style.
