Confetti

Details

Don't miss out on this year's most original and hilarious British comedy as Confetti is released to buy and rent on DVD on 18th September 2006 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Starring the cream of British TV comedy talent including Martin Freeman, Jimmy Carr, Stephen Mangan and Alison Steadman, three couples fight it out to win a magazine competition for 'The Most Original Wedding Of The Year'!

It is up to the owner of Confetti magazine (Jimmy Carr) and his editor (Felicity Montagu, best known as Alan Partridge's long-suffering assistant Lynn) to choose the three couples who will reach the final of the competition. After rejecting dozens of couples, they settle on two would-be stars of 1940s Hollywood musicals (Martin Freeman and Jessica Stevenson), a pair of tennis nuts (Stephen Mangan and Meredith MacNeill) and a couple of naturists (Olivia Colman and Robert Webb) who plan to tie the knot in the nude.

The film follows the couples as they plan their dream days and attempt to win the grand prize of a £500,000 house, with the help of a pair of very camp wedding planners!

Isabelle and the hugely obnoxious Josef are the most desperate to win with their tennis theme and think the others are getting preferential treatment. Matt and Sam's musical plans are in danger of being ruined by her overbearing mother (Steadman), while Michael and Joanna are left reeling by the editor's decision that they can't get married naked. Before the end there will be tears, tantrums, angry sister-in-laws, disgruntled nudists, death threats with tennis rackets and serious amounts of laughter... but only one wedding can win!

Shot in a mockumentary style, the film's hilarity, spontaneity, and perfect comic timing were born of completely improvised performances by the stellar British cast. Although inspired by director Debbie Isitt's experience of her sister's wedding, prior to filming none of the actors - or the director - knew what the film's outcome would be!

With hours of DVD special features, including alternate endings, deleted scenes and commentaries, Confetti is the film for anyone who's ever had a less than perfect wedding experience! A cross between The Office and Four Weddings, Confetti is the ideal antidote to wedding fever on DVD this September!
