The Knot

Happy Day, a couple is getting married! Alexandra (Talulah Riley) is certain Jeremy (Matthew McNulty) is the man for her and visa versa. Both of them submit to videographers, who have also chronicled such wild events as showers and bachelor-bachelorette parties. Now, its hours before the wedding and the couple doesn't know how difficult the day is going to become. For Jeremy, his grroomsmen have played pranks on him, from sabotaging his toothpaste to casting doubts on his desire to wed Alex. For her part, Alexandra has experienced a bridesmaid gone AWOL, a new hairdresser, nervous parents and an equally nervous stomach. When one of the groomsmen tears his tux jacket and thwarts the car rental, Jeremy banishes him until he finds a tailor and a new limo to meet the couple after the ceremony. Another of Alex' bridesmaids has to take a detour for emergency stitches. Then, too, there is a church mix-up, with the later couple wreaking havoc, with repetitive interruptions, on an African couple at a chapel with a similar name. Will this ceremony happen at all? This pleasing and funny romcom is marred seriously by a plethora of objectionable material, from sexual scenes to crude bodily function scenarios. Most fans of light romance will probably want to fast forward through some of these depictions. Smart idea. Nevertheless, Riley and McNulty are delightful and so is the supporting cast, including Mena Suvari. The venues in London are wonderful and the costumes quite fetching while the script has numerous funny ideas and the direction is fast-paced. Beware, romcom fan, of the R rating but if you dare to rent it, you will be laughing and sighing.

Okay, so six reviews of this movie...all written within a day of each other, all written in the same voice, and all the reviewers have only one review to their names. If these "glowing" reviews aren't enough to make you suspicious, let me be quite clear. This movie is TERRIBLE. It's basically a series of gross-out jokes, ridiculous injuries and tired clichés that could have been written by a group of high schoolers. In fact the entire film has a very amateurish feel to it, which makes it impossible to connect with any of the very thin storyline. Mena Suvari must owe someone in England a big favor, and hopefully this erased her debt, because even this poor excuse for a comedy is far out of her league (which is saying a lot considering she was in American Pie). This "rom com" is not romantic, not funny and really not worth your time.

I'm an 18 year old teen journalist so here's a young perspective! I thought it was awesome!

The Knot is a fun-filled film full of funny moments and excellent British cinematography. Throughout the movie two characters (a couple who are good friends of the bride and groom) film the entire wedding. I particularly liked this element as this is exactly what our generation is like! We're constantly capturing moments, whether that be through Instagram or making Youtube videos and sharing it on Facebook and Twitter. It was relevant, memorable and oozed modern humour - Noel Clarke's and Brett Goldstein's delivery was jokes!

Great choice of cast, an eclectic mix of British talent joined by Hollywood star Mena Suvari - names both older and younger audiences are familiar with/can relate to.

I went to two screenings, one packed with an industry audience the other was a public screening. Both crowds showed their enjoyment, there was lots of laughter and overall a positive vibe.

I'd recommend it to my college mates, couples and anyone who fancies a good fun night out!

I will not write about the movie, many others did it before. I only write this review to help others make a decision whether to watch or not. If you want a traditional Hollywood (predictable, sugar-sweet) movie in this genre, probably it's nothing for you. It is absolutely nothing stunning or smashing about this movie but it's much better than the 1-3 point reviews. Then again I agree with one reviewer that some review are false or absolutely ridiculous, this movie is NOT 10 or even 9, maybe if you never so a movie before and are exalted about the story and think it's a documentary like some people thought about "The X files" if not - then not! But still some funny moments with some good laughs. I rated 6 to get it little higher but actually it's a very strong 5, for me 5,5 :-) I recommend you to watch it, why? It's better than most Hollywood productions that are 100% more predictable. Thanks for reading!

this was a good movie enjoyable and entertaining. even if it could use some adjustment to the screen play and the moment right before the wedding could be done more professionally but over all it was a good movie.and let me tell you , all wedding movies are cliché but at least this one wasn't all about s e x , nudity and getting f ucked up the night before the wedding on the bachelor party which ruins the wedding day like other "rom com s". this one had more sense, for me it was a fine funny and entertaining movie.if you liked American pie: the wedding then you gonna love this cause its way more better than that and have less crazy and more laughter. so give it a shot "if you don't enjoy it you definitely wont regret it".
