Film Review: Confetti

Imagine two nudists, a pair of failed tennis pros and a couple of musical aficionados competing to earn the title of "most original wedding."

Now imagine this absurdity without the safety net of a script.

Indeed, Confetti is an entirely improvised "mockumentary" featuring experimental humor in addition to typical British cynicism. And if you're a fan of Christopher Guest movies (Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman), then this film is right up your alley.

The couples are amusing in their own quirky ways: the nudist couple offer cheap laughs and the music couple add zest, while the tennis couple clash with the film's generally jolly tone-they suffer tribulations over the bride-to-be's nostril size and her touchy-feely tennis coach, Jesus.

But the best comedy radiates from the gestures of the chichi wedding planners, who are partners in more than one sense of the word.

Ultimately, the film's comedic quality is more "off" than "on," but it does inspire the viewer to break away from the church wedding norm and dabble in a little spontaneity. After all, who wants to waste money buying a wedding dress when you can walk down the aisle in your birthday suit.
