The Knot

This movie is a mix of everything... A bit of hangover, bridesmaid, Imagine Me & You, Love Actually... The story-line has nothing brand new, yet I think the writers have done an amazing job in branding all the bright-spots together and make this a pleasantly enjoyable movie. I also think the slow pace of the movie helps you to digest and treasure the wickedness and funniness of the script more, but it's certainly not the cup of tea for everybody.

As an amateur film maker I love how the footage from the Canon 5D adds an extra dimension to the movie without compromising on the image quality. The director have made use of clever camera placement which gives a documentary touch and bring a level of reality to the entire movie.

Comedy is a tough genre, but it also can be very easy. It's always good to get young British acting talent together to make your movie, which is the case here. But this does not always hit the spot, trying to be as funny as possible, instead almost talking itself into a full stop time and time again.

Some jokes are good though and while this isn't anything like "Big fat British wedding" (taking in the whole experience from both sides and with a group of friends), it does have quite a few cheap jokes that you'll either think are hilarious or just plain juvenile. Especially pranks right before the wedding are a "favorite" ... or that one line you say too loud in a building which almost ruins everything (though the resolution to that is far too simple). It's decent, nothing more, nothing less

Alex and Jeremy are getting married. Nothing can go wrong....can it? It's the morning of the wedding. People have to get ready for the most important day in these two people's lives. But there are some hitches in the run up to the wedding such as the ring disappearing into somewhere no one should ever venture, a car that looks like it's come straight from Pimp My Ride, torn suits, tummy troubles, big pants and a missing bridesmaid.

From the start, there are laugh out loud moments as we join the bride and groom on their journeys from home to the altar. Will Jeremy ever get to the church on time? What happens when Alex has an attack of nerves? The Knot is a fun, light-hearted comedy which will have you laughing to the end. Definitely one to see and enjoy the fun!

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!

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.
