The Decoy Bride (2011)

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.

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 have been wanting to watch this movie for about a year or so, since I heard that David Tennant was going to be in it. I don't see why it has a less than 6 rating, though, especially since the movie leaves you with a thirst - the thirst to pursue your dreams no matter the obstacles lying in your way.Of course, there's romance (it is a romantic comedy, with some underlying drama) - and, gah! the beach scene near the end had me in tears. Tennant is great at giving the ol' puppy-dog-eyes look, and the lead actress is incredible, as well as the supporting cast. My favorite part would have to be a toss-up between that part and the comedic part when he marries her and she has to do an American accent. (I would advise, though, that you will probably need to watch this with someone or look like a maniac while laughing.) Bottom line: Is this a movie that bends your mind into a million different directions? No. Is this a movie with tons of explosives? No. Is it even anything remotely like Dr. Who? Afraid not. But is it a movie with a lot of heart, great acting, great scenery, and the truth of self that lies within each of us? Yes.As the main character's mom says in the movie, "A life spent making mistakes is so much better than a life spent doing nothing." So, whether "Decoy Bride" proves a mistake or not, if you watch it, at least you won't spend any time thinking, "Did I miss out on a good movie?"

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!
