The Decoy Bride

To wed or to not wed...David Tennant...Kelly Macdonald..The Decoy Bride

The combination of Sally Philip's hilarious script and Kelly Macdonald and David Tennat's great performances makes a very good rom-com about a 'decoy bride.' It makes fun of the rural-ness of Scottish islands and their communities and gives hilarity too. When Katie (Macdonald) arrives home to Hegg, a remote Hebrides island, she doesn't expect to be asked to stand in for famous movie actress Lara Tyler, played by Alice Eve. After a mix-up with wedding certificates, Katie and Lara's husband-to-be end up married. It has several great lines, including Tony Roper as the island reverend saying, "when God created time, he made lots of it and when he created twine, he made balls of it." Ridiculously OTT and sad at parts, The Decoy Bride is a perfect British rom-com.
