Movie #127 - Confetti

Confetti
Fox Searchlight
2006 - Rated R - 1 hr 40 min
Director: Debbie Isitt
Starring: Martin Freeman, Jessica Hynes, Stephen Mangan

If you've heard of this movie, I'm super impressed.  We found this one by accident and I love it.  It's a BBC Film (distributed in the US by Fox Searchlight) so many have probably never heard of it. If that's the case, pick it up because it's hysterical.

The basic premise is that a magazine (called Confetti) is running a wedding competition with the grand prize of a brand new house.  Three couples compete, each with a uniquely themed wedding which will all take place on the same day in front of a judging panel.  The couples get wedding planners and all the assistance they need, but of course, mayhem and hillarity ensues.  The three weddings are tennis-themed, Broadway musical-themed, and nudist. Yup, nudist.

Martin Freeman is probably the only one you'll recognize (he was in Love, Actually) and he's adorable in this movie.  It's a fun one and highly recommended.
