Son Cubano [Goldies] - Various Artists

Ah the good old British comedy strikes again, ploughing the same furrow as pretty much every other one that had come since the mega success of Four Weddings and a Funeral (Sean of the Dead apart). For some reason British comedy desperately trying to duplicate Richard Curtis’ successful formula and, by and large, failing miserably to raise even half as many laughs. Confetti is a glossy magazine aimed at celebrating, informing and helping people plan their marriages. Antoni Clark (Jimmy Carr), the owner publisher, has come up with the idea of running a competition in the magazine and wants to ... more

It then turned out that I was out of the country when it was released, and I only just got around to watching it this weekend.

Auditions are held (in a very X-Factor ... more
