Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Sick Product of a Sick System
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
This was cute, genuinely funny at times and while not original in its romantic-comedy delivery it managed not to be clichéd either. I also really enjoyed the remote (Scottish) island setting which almost becomes a character onto itself here.David Tennant was very good as 'James', best selling author and half of a celebrity power couple trying to outwit a determined paparazzo from sabotaging their wedding. By relocating to the remote island of Hegg he hopes to evade the press, unfortunately they still find them, forcing his Hollywood film star bride to be (Alice Eve) into hiding and her agent to hire the only single island girl to pose as the bride. Of course complications arise and in a mix-up, James ends up married to 'Katie' who up until now has been unlucky in love.There is nothing outstanding here but the plot is lively and there are some very funny situations especially amongst the diverse group of island locals who provide real laughs. I especially enjoyed Kelly Macdonald who plays Katie, she and David work well together, navigating the twists and turns, swordfights, moat plunges, 70's attire and unique divorce requirements on their way to true love. 6/7/15
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.
A writer (David Tennant) is set to marry a renowned actress (Alice Eve), but the press crash the wedding. You then follow the couple on the adventure to try to marry, going through many problems.This film, I felt was a brilliant feel good film that kept you interested and was incredibly well cast. David Tennant played his part fantastically, although so did everyone else. All the characters are needed to complete this film, they put a very funny edge to it and keep you laughing and keeps you on the sofa to continue watching. The story line was obvious, but was pulled of well and if the ending ended differently you would have been left annoyed and disliking the film. You do feel it goes all a bit too quick, and things are sudden and left out but it's obvious what was intended and how is easy to understand aside all of that. I would recommend it for teenage sleepovers, but also for anyone who wants something funny with romance in. If you love Notting Hill, you will also love this.
I've got to admit, I first of all watched the film just because of David Tennant, because I adore him. He's a brilliant actor.But I thought the plot of the film sounded like a really ordinary romantic comedy, but I was proved wrong. It's a very humorous story and David's performance is great as ever. But also the other actors do a great job.I love the setting on this little island, as a backward region, which tries to take every advantage of the people coming there.It's definitely worthwhile watching the movie if you're searching for a bit of entertainment and like British settings and to be honest the accent's pretty cool, too.
