In today's programme, we review the new British film "Confetti".

To celebrate a wedding, lots of small pieces of coloured paper are thrown over the bride and bridegroom - and those pieces of paper are known as 'confetti' so it's easy to guess that the theme of the film we're reviewing is weddings!

As you listen to the programme, try to answer these two questions:

1. Does Bedisha think the film will be a success?

2. Is a 'mockumentary' intended to be a serious film that's full or facts or a very funny film?

3. Jo described the experience of attending the film premiere as'nerve-wracking'. What does she mean by that?
