Confetti

First, a quick note to advertisers: Tony Bennett may be 80 years old, and he may be a decent muscian, but I cannot celebrate "80 years of fantastic music" from him with the people at Target. First, fantastic might be a stretch. But in any case I highly doubt he was making music straight out of the womb.

But onto the movie. The other day I went to see Confetti, a respectable Britisih mockumentary. They really did do their best, and the characters are creatively British, but the style just didn't flow perfectly. Maybe I've been too spoiled by movies such as Best in Show, This is Spinal Tap, etc. but this wasn't quite up to those levels. I give them credit though. They did try their best. And I do love Jessica Stevenson and it is nice to see her again (new Spaced? Please?). I also felt like the ending fell a little flat. It was almost so predictable that it was a twist, but not quite. And it didn't have the clever "follow-ups" that are present in the other films. True we get to check in on the three couples, but a five second blrub isn't good enough for me. All in all, it was an average film. Not terrible, but not great.

RATING: Seeing as how it's probably no longer in most theatres you're probably a little late there, but feel free to catach it on video. It is good for some laughs on a rainy day.
