Martin Freeman and Jessica Stevenson are unstoppably likeable. Confetti is a genuinely funny movie. Waiting for Guffman fans will love it.

Director Debbie Isitt's improvised mockumentary is reminiscent of Christopher Guest's movies but without the reservoir of comic invention [...] Still, there are nice moments and good performances [...]

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...

A textbook example of what happens When Improv Falls Flat.

A deliciously mean and fluffy little mockumentary.

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

As is typical of many weddings, the planning drags, and so does the movie.

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.

... 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.

There's some genuine heart here, particularly in Sam and Matt's subplot.

With barely a laugh to be found, Confetti takes the 'mock' right out of the mockumentary.

It's inspired, glorious chaos.
