Critics Consensus

This improvised mockumentary has its funny and even sweet moments, but it's not as witty or sharp as Christopher Guest's offerings.

Marrit Ingman

Austin Chronicle

Even if it's not quite an affair to remember all year, this BBC Films mockumentary about three wacky weddings is pleasant and enjoyably diverting...

Rated: 3/5

It's inspired, glorious chaos.

What works for Christopher Guest's dedicated comedy troupe (and it doesn't always work) isn't so easy to imitate, especially with actors lacking in basic improv skills.

While the situations are pretty funny and the actors are committed, they're not ripe with hilarity.

A textbook example of what happens When Improv Falls Flat.

... Confetti comes off more like a reality TV show, in which the participants just don't express their obsessive cluelessness as exquisitely as sharp writers can through trained actors.

Appalling screenplay, very few laughs. Complete disappointment given the fairly well known cast.

It's a shame Olivia Coleman and Robert Webb have such a horrible memory of this film and how they were treated as it ruins my opinion that this is a pretty good film. I especially like Martin Freeman and Jessica Hynes. Very sweet couple and good improvising!

The final act with the weddings themselves is the definite highlight - they were all great!

Hilarious! Yet it does make me think I'm glad Allison and I didn't do the boring same old same old. Ours will be, in the words of Moulin Rouge, "Spectacular! Spectacular!"

A mostly unfunny mess of a film. You will scratch your head wondering who thought this was funny and wait to laugh. And never will.

This is a lovely Britcom/mockumentary with heart and chaotic tones in the best tradition of Ealing.
