*Mild Spoilers*
Confetti was like an extended episode of Green Wing. With less laughs. Its about 3 couples competing for a dream wedding & mag cover shoot. (Oh, and a house) One couple want a musical wedding (musical ball number - some bloke out of The Office) One couple want a tennis-theme for their nuptials ( tennis balls everywhere - some bloke out of Green Wing) and the last couple want a naturist event (balls everywhere! - some bloke out of Peep Show)
It plays a bit like The Office as a fly-on-the-wall docu-soap & its all improv; it has its moments, but these are few... Jimmy Carr is wasted but Steve Mangan is amazing as a has-been tennis star jealous of his soon-to-be's Spanish (lothario in his mind)tennis coach. There's a great scene where they have a fight on a tennis court - Steve runs off apparently to 'run it off' then he charges back in and piles into the coach once more. (Very Guy-like but much more physical!) Great supporting cast including Mark Heap and Olivia Colman giving it some Green Wing polish! I REALLY wanted to love this film; guess the wedding's off...
