The Onion (A.V. Club) Tasha Robinson
Anyone who's been closely involved with a wedding knows exactly how these beleaguered schmucks feel. Those who haven't may just take Confetti as a lighthearted but convincing argument for elopement.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Jonathan Rosenbaum
Just when I'm ready to write off the mockumentary as an exhausted form, along comes this delightful and hilarious improv comedy from the UK in which a bridal magazine sets up a promotional contest for the best offbeat wedding.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum
Must viewing for the Bridezillas set, this winning pageant of gaudy bad taste is the work of some of the U.K.'s most popular comedy performers.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
It's ripe for an American remake, given the popularity of reality TV shows like "My Super Sweet 16" and "Bridezillas," but it's hard to imagine a better cast than this ensemble.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold
The humor is sweet-spirited, the dialogue (all improvised by the cast) is acerbic and witty, the celebration of unbridled tackiness is often hilarious.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Michael Ordona
Under the insanity and unsexy nudity, Confetti has a sweet center. Comic timing, themes of tolerance and commitment and the marriage of farce and empathy lift the film above the mockumentary pack.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Ella Taylor
If nothing else, this affectionately off-the-wall confection offers exuberant confirmation of every suspicion you might ever have had that the English are charmingly eccentric. They're barking mad.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Marrit Ingman
The film veers toward sheer silliness at times, losing the sweetness that defines its strongest moments.
Read Full Review >USA Today Claudia Puig
Overall, Confetti is agreeable and appropriately daft, though occasionally tepid and contrived.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
Like the average best-man toast, Debbie Isitt's amiable mockumentary has many funny moments, a few touching ones and some that fall just slightly flat.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips
Outlandish weddings aren't much of a satiric target, but Confetti isn't really going for satire; mild-mannered japes are more its style.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Ann Hornaday
Say this for Confetti: It's a crowd-pleaser. If, that is, the crowd is composed of people who have never seen a movie by Christopher Guest or a TV show starring Ricky Gervais.
Read Full Review >Variety Leslie Felperin
Picture is reminiscent less of Richard Curtis' romcoms and more of Christopher Guest's mockumentaries, with a dash of early Mike Leigh.
Read Full Review >ReelViews James Berardinelli
Confetti is an excellent study of what happens when someone botches Christopher Guest's mockumentary format.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Stephen Holden
Content to go only a third of the way to the bottom of its characters, the movie gives each a few comic tics and leaves it at that.
Read Full Review >The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Rick Groen
With barely a laugh to be found, Confetti takes the "mock" right out of the mockumentary, and you can guess what's left. Yep, a Umentary, a brand new genre best defined by what it's not -- not real like a doc, not funny like a mock, not this thing or that thing or much of anything.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Ray Bennett
The track records of the performers are impeccable, but Issit has obviously never watched an awards show or similar event where comedy actors appear unscripted. Placing the weight of such a preposterous storyline on their improvisational shoulders was a disaster waiting to happen. And it happened.
Read Full Review >New York Post Lou Lumenick
A strained, ultra-predictable and headache-inducing mockumentary.

Mike L. gave it an8:
A fairly solid movie, nothing to make it stand out once you've watched it but a perfect blend of the pressing issues of marriage and a little british comedy that does supply enough jokes to warrant a watch. In a way I really liked the appearances of cast from the office & especially peepshow. Although the cast were not on top form I still enjoyed the movie!
