Synopsis

A sharp and affectionate comedy featuring an ensemble of UK comedic talents, CONFETTI follows three couples as they duke it out to win a bridal magazine contest for "Most Original Wedding of the Year." The talented cast -- which includes Martin Freeman ("The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," "Love Actually," "The Office"), Jessica Stevenson ("Shaun of the Dead"), Stephen Mangan, Felicity Montagu ("I'm Alan Partridge"), award-winning comedian Jimmy Carr in his first screen performance and Alison Steadman.

The most interesting factoid about this gem: there wasn't a script. All the lines were improvised by some of the UK's most talented comedic actors and actresses.

Reviews

"Anyone who's been closely involved with a wedding knows exactly how these beleaguered schmucks feel. Those who haven't may just take Confetti as a lighthearted but convincing argument for elopement."

   - Tasha Robinson, The Onion (A.V. Club)

"Just when I'm ready to write off the mockumentary as an exhausted form, along comes this delightful and hilarious improv comedy from the UK in which a bridal magazine sets up a promotional contest for the best offbeat wedding."

   - Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

"Must viewing for the Bridezillas set, this winning pageant of gaudy bad taste is the work of some of the U.K.'s most popular comedy performers."

   - Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

"It's ripe for an American remake, given the popularity of reality TV shows like"

   - Maitland McDonagh, TV Guide

"The humor is sweet-spirited, the dialogue (all improvised by the cast) is acerbic and witty, the celebration of unbridled tackiness is often hilarious."

   - William Arnold, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
