Famous actress Lara Tyler can't get married to author James Arber without intrusive paparazzi crashing the ceremony. Because of James's best-seller, Lara's agent, Steve, checks out the little known Hegg Island in Scotland as the site for their next attempted wedding. Unfortunately, James is a hack, and his book (supposedly based on Hegg) relays little of it accurately. Katie, an island native and the only unmarried woman on it, has been unlucky in love. She's working on writing her own guide to Hegg Island when Steve and crew arrive, eventually hiring her as a reluctant decoy bride to distract the paparazzi. In a mix-up, she and James end up married to each other while Lara, having spotted the press, goes into hiding. Katie and James now have to get an island divorce while avoiding the press while other parties seek out Lara (who has disguised herself as one of the elderly islanders).
Leave your thoughts about The Decoy Bride.
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleIf you've seen most any rom-com you know where this one's headed. Unfortunately, under director Sheree Folkson's unsteady hand, getting there is more frustrating than fun. |
| Movie MetropolisJames Plath"The Decoy Bride" doesn't offer anything truly original, but as romantic comedies go it makes for a pleasant enough evening. And if you're like me, the scenery is a bonus. |
| Sky CinemaElliott NobleNobody's forecasting gales of laughter, but it'll give your pipes a canny wee toot. |
| New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThe script, by Sally Phillips and Neil Jaworski, mocks celebrity culture but never turns too caustic. The movie, like an island vacation, passes pleasantly and all too quickly. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawIt's indulgent, but Macdonald's performance is attractive and relaxed. |
| AV ClubAlison WillmoreTennant and Macdonald are appealing performers, but they aren't given scenes that convey they even like each other, much less that they're irresistibly drawn to each other, circumstances be damned. |
| ScotsmanSiobhan SynnotIn a script so heavily cut it could be a paper doily, what's left is vaguely cute, rather predictable and wholly insubstantial. |
| Time OutTom HuddlestonThe result is less a film, more a bland Britcom box-ticking exercise. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerDisappointing British romcom that fails to provide either romance or comedy, thanks to a patchy script, some awkward direction and a painful lack of chemistry between the embarrassed-looking leads. |
| Movie TalkJason BestWriter Sally Phillips throws in the odd sharp line (love-shy Katie describes herself as 'a man-vegan') but the clumsily contrived plot and a lack of spark between McDonald (engaging) and Tennant (surprisingly under-par) throw the film fatally off course. |
