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

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.
Top CriticThere's some genuine heart here, particularly in Sam and Matt's subplot.
A deliciously mean and fluffy little mockumentary.
As is typical of many weddings, the planning drags, and so does the movie.
With barely a laugh to be found, Confetti takes the 'mock' right out of the mockumentary.
A British import that proves how dangerous improvisation can be when not handled with proper care.
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.
In spite of the obvious abundance of comedic talent present, "Confetti" really has a true emotional core where it manages to reach down into real emotions of soon to be wed couples and their utter battles with selfish relatives.
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...
Just when you think you've got Confetti completely pegged, it offers a surprise or two.
Confetti is the latest mockumentary to encounter the problem of reality, or reality TV, being more outrageous than the filmmaker's send-up.
Though it feels like it should be funnier, it is a smiley and amusing affair full of happy endings and goodwill.
Moderately amusing, but rather wan when compared to really inspired mockumentaries.
It's inspired, glorious chaos.
Confetti may be mostly forgettable, but like bubbly at a wedding, the impression it leaves is light and effervescent.
