A British brides' magazine runs a contest, with the grand prize of a half-million-pound dream home, for the Most Original Wedding of the year. The themes of the three finalists: Hollywood musicals, tennis, and naturism, i.e., nudism. Shot, plausibly enough, in the mockumentary style (the magazine would naturally want a record of the event), but that style depends for its humor on the maintenance of a close contact with reality at all points, and this specimen loses contact early and often. In light of that, it seems an unwise decision to have prominently cast Martin Freeman, one of the key players in the Ricky Gervais TV series, The Office, which was also shot in the mockumentary style, rather implausibly for starters (why would anyone be recording the day-to-day activities of this nondescript workplace?), but which otherwise maintained close contact with reality. The comparison is unavoidable and brutal. The Office: funny. Confetti: not funny. With Jessica Stevenson, Stephen Mangan, Meredith MacNeill, Robert Webb, Olivia Colman, Vincent Franklin, Jason Watkins, and Alison Steadman; directed by Debbie Isitt. (2006) — Duncan Shepherd
