A Noiva Isca

However, something was missing.

And I just love romantic comedies!

I might be wrong, but I think what was lacking was genuine emotion, and chemistry between the couples who were supposed to end up together - it is clear from the start who will end up with whom, but I just couldn't really feel it between them. It felt a bit fake and forced upon them.

Overall, it is a cute little film, relaxing and in the end, it makes you feel good.

I definitely encourage you to give it a chance, it is a good pastime for a lazy evening. :)

13 July 2012. Perhaps the closest movie that The Decoy Bride might be compared to Notting Hill (1999) and America's Sweethearts (2001) and yet for all their famous girl meets ordinary guy or plain girl meets famous guy, or Sabrina (1954) and yet for all the famous star polish, this movie has a twist as well as geographical character that has a charm all its own and as such is almost believable in both its underlying simplicity and authenticity. The director should be credited with never having the Paparazzo nemesis become some bumbling idiot and in some ways the scriptwriter's divergence from the traditional storyline is another one of the niceties of the movie's charm. So while Simple Irresistible (1999) had its food magic, Dave (1993) had the Oval Office, My Super Ex-Girlfriend had (2006) had superheroes, Working Girl (1988) had a prostitute, or even Bewitched (2005) had strictly speaking magic magic, The Decoy Bride has the landscape, the isolated uniqueness of the quaint Calendar Girls (2003).

I did not have high hopes for this movie, but was pleasantly surprised when I discovered it wasn't half bad! I honestly only saw it because David Tennant was in it... oh well. It was a cute romantic comedy and I did laugh quite a bit. But the biggest problem for me was that the plot summary is a little too cliché... and it went a little too fast. The whole movie took place in the time span of about a day. Not enough time for the main characters to really make the decision to throw away their whole life plans to be together. Whatever though, it was still a fun way to spend time! I would recommend this movie to any fan of romantic comedy.

This movie can be a disappoinment for those who wish to watch an American type rom-com. But it could be heart-warming for those who want to have a simple evening with a loved one. The acting was spectacular and I'm deeply impressed by the writing. Congrats to all of you, you gave me what I needed. I feel content now.

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!
