StacyoftheGrape I love this movie. Normally I avoid romantic comedies as I find too many rely on worn out gags and tropes. But The Decoy Bride is an exception. David Tennant is very believable as a writer in over his head with his gorgeous Hollywood actress bride-to-be. Alice Eve portrays Lara beautifully as someone who knows she's famous but isn't a bad diva. Kelly Macdonald is funny, charming and her accent is fantastic. The story is sweet, with lots of funny setups that flow nicely from one scene to the next. The characters of the island are perfect for setting the tone of a island with only 75 inhabitants. If you are looking for a good love story with a lot of funny situations that isn't sickly sweet or sappy, look no further than The Decoy Bride.

Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a famous Hollywood actress going to a remote Scottish island to get married, in order to avoid the omnipresent press. Her agent finds a decoy bride to deflect attention, but the guy ends up marrying the decoy by mistake.It's a predictable romantic comedy, but it's really sweet. How the two leads jab at each other initially is also fun to watch. And the scenery of Hegg, which probably very few people have heard of, is beautiful. It captures the tranquility of the place, but unfortunately the portrayal of the locals isn't so nice. They are portrayed to be money grabbing opportunists. Overall, "The Decoy Bride" is a fun and light hearted film to watch. I enjoyed it.

willowgrove It doesn't matter that the movie covers just a few days. It doesn't matter that it could be considered a bit predictable. People are missing the point!!! The point is that we make choices that we regret and we often don't see what's right in front of us! And then, sometimes, if we're extremely fortunate, wonderful things happen unexpectedly! Enjoy! Let it happen! Laugh and smile! The two lead characters, superstar Lara and author James are trying to find a quiet place to get married away from the prying eyes of the paparazzi. They end up on a secluded island in the outer Hebrides with the one paparazzi Lara hates the most. Then the fun begins...and the decoy bride enters the scene. A touch of slapstick, hilarious and cutting one liners, mishaps left and right...if you get this kind of film, it is pure, warm, genius. The actors are firing on all comedic and dramatic cylinders.This is now a favorite of mine along the lines of others like The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill and Came Down A Mountain, Bottle Shock, and Blow Dry...maybe even Happy Texas. If you get this style of film you will love it. If not, go borrow or buy a sense of whimsy so you can.

nikolova-assya Do you like Scottish accent? Or you are just a fan of the lovely English humour? Then may be you are up for some stunningly peaceful landscapes and views of sun setting over bluish cliffs while harmonious tide splashes against them? But I guess you'd fancy some romance - something nice but not sugary, yet not overly dramatic? Well whatever it is, you will find it in this beautiful, funny movie, quite not cliché and honestly quite enchanting. It totally made me forget where I was for an amazing hour and a half and filled me up with salty dreams of a fresh start. Great work from Kelly ( she got my heart ever since "The girl in the café")- so sweet and honest, brilliant match with David, who makes a nice turn from "Fright night". Go ahead and watch it!
