Martin Freeman: 5 Awesome Performances And 5 That Sucked

2. Confetti (2006)

God lord no. Cross The Office with Love Actually and what do you get? Uber-bilge, that's what. Reuniting some of the cast from the first item on this list, Bruiser, and then utterly wasting their time - this wedding 'comedy' is about as enjoyable as a best man's speech from an unwashed serial killer with a lisp. Freeman and Jessica Stevenson are a couple trying to win a dream wedding in the style of a 1930's musical. It's not as bad as it sounds. It's a lot worse. Allegedly improvised, in the same way you improvise a fart, it's the sort of film that sets British movie making back 10 years. So bad that co-stars Robert Webb and Olivia Colman attempted legal action to stop it getting released. Apparently, the writer/director of the film was inspired to make it after watching her sister plan her wedding. After months of planning her sister went blind on her wedding day. Frankly, I wished I'd gone blind just before I saw this. And deaf.

I'm a Westcountry exile now living in Yorkshire with lovely wife and cats (also lovely). I'm a big fan of films, robots, timetravel, and films about timetravelling robots, as well as lots of other action, sci-fi and comedy. I'm currently trying to write a sitcom that doesn't involve robots, and I also blog nonsense on timolsky.blogspot.com. Thanks for taking the time to read my stuff, and feel free to comment.
