Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

SnoopyStyle A-lister Lara Tyler (Alice Eve) refuses to marry author James Arber (David Tennant) while the paparazzi continue to hound them. Lara's people decide the castle on Hegg Island in Scotland, the subject of James' book, would be the perfect isolated location for the wedding. Unfortunately, James is a fake, and his book has a little accuracy problem. Katie (Kelly Macdonald) is an island native spinster. She is reluctantly hired as a decoy bride to distract the paparazzi.Alice Eve is over the top frantic. Kelly Macdonald is lovely. And this is without a doubt a silly rom-com. The major problem is that there is so many fake premises. Luckily I like the actors. They're not horrible characters. It's certainly fine to like the characters as they bumble their way thru this movie.

JuliaSophieD I've got to admit, I first of all watched the film just because of David Tennant, because I adore him. He's a brilliant actor.But I thought the plot of the film sounded like a really ordinary romantic comedy, but I was proved wrong. It's a very humorous story and David's performance is great as ever. But also the other actors do a great job.I love the setting on this little island, as a backward region, which tries to take every advantage of the people coming there.It's definitely worthwhile watching the movie if you're searching for a bit of entertainment and like British settings and to be honest the accent's pretty cool, too.

wbewitched This is a gentle romantic comedy that has humor and light but doesn't hit you over the head with it.I suspect this movie is not rated higher generally because it does not have the laugh a minute ridiculousness of most modern day American rom-coms. It moves at the slow pace of the village were it takes place where time somewhat stands still and happiness is found in the familiar. The fact that it stars David Tennant is just icing on the cake; the supporting cast which includes Kelly MacDonald (Boardwalk Empire)and Alice Eve (Entourage)is just cherries on the icing on the cake.A movie in the vein of Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill (with some lovely scenery from the Isle of Man), I highly recommended spending an evening with it.

sylviakenl A warning of a spoiler is hardly necessary when the outcome is a foregone conclusion. The end result is obvious once all the actors are together on the island. This takes nothing away from the enjoyment of the movie, as it turns out. Set on an imaginary island called Hegg, a little dot amongst the Hebrides. Lara Tyler, who is one of THE most famous movie stars in the known world, is played by Alice Eve, but all she wants to do is marry her fiancé, writer James Arber, (David Tennant). Harassed to the point of distraction by all the paparazzi, especially by Marco Ballani (Federico Castelluccio), who is like a rabid dog with his obsession for Lara, they escape to the tiny Scottish island of Hegg, so they can marry in peace. However when the paparazzi tracks them down, They in fact receive a tip-off, and with the locals smelling easy money, Lara, suffering from paparazzi paranoia, becomes upset and runs off & hides. In total desperation, her management team, run by Steve Korbitz (Michael Urie), decide to stage a fake wedding, hoping the paparazzi will fall for their little trick and leave the island. Local girl Katie (Kelly MacDonald), who is back from the mainland nursing a broken heart, is recruited to pretend to be Lara. But is James Arber convinced that Lara is his one true love? Very predictable but also very funny with some poignant moments. It may have lacked the polish of a movie like 'Hook', but with a budget 67 & a half million less than 'Hook', I Think they did a good job. It should have done better than it did at the box office but I'm sure it lacked a credible PR team. I never heard of it until earlier this year, 2012, and only then because my daughter had brought the movie home. I think it will do better as time goes by but I don't think they will recoup their costs. It's a shame.
