OUR REVIEW
Who's in It: Martin Freeman, Jessica Stevenson, Stephen Mangan, Meredith MacNeill, Robert Webb, Olivia Colman
The Basics: It's a fake documentary, like Waiting for Guffman, only set in England, and it's about three couples competing to see who can throw the most original wedding. One couple wants to sing and dance the whole thing, another goes for a tennis theme, a third wants to be naked. And you know how boring actual weddings are? Well, guess what? Most movies about them are, too.
What's the Deal? Improvised mockumentaries … suddenly there are entire sections devoted to them in video stores. Why is this? Who decided improv was so special? Almost all of them suck except for Christopher Guest's movies, and even he's not always reliable. Gimme one of those yuppified Richard Curtis movies like Love Actually or Four Weddings and a Funeral any day. At least someone took the time to write scripts for those.
