The Knot

This is my first ever attempt a film review, hope nobody minds haha. Why have I decided to write one? Well just watched The Knot and had to voice my opinion on this great British comedy movie!

Absolutely loved it, laughed the whole way through! At a time where I think we all need cheering up as a nation, the movie really nailed it!

It portrayed the very stressful subject of the wedding and events leading up to it in a very clever and yet very funny and emotional way. I am not normally that fond of comedy films but actually thought it was very funny indeed.

Well done to all involved in the film, will be watching again tomorrow!!!

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

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 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!

to put this in perspective we sat down to watch this as something suitable and harmless for us both and we ended up switching it off after about 15 minutes. Do the people that made this really need to have it explained to them that there should be something endearing about the people in a romantic comedy? also a guide for a comedy is that its an idea to put some funny lines in........absolutely charmless.

This film was so bad that without a doubt some of the other gushing reviews are fake. This is an embarrassment to the British film industry and a waste of an opportunity.
