The Decoy Bride Reviews

Movie Reviews

• the supposedly frothy tone is tarry and flavorless, and the drill is painfully familiar

  by Michael Atkinson [Village Voice ]

• the cast has charm, and some of lines raise a chuckle, but the story lacks pace, plausibility and surprise

  by Henry Fitzherbert [Daily Express ]

• so enchanting and funny as the vulnerable heroine that she manages to elevate the proceedings

  by Frank Scheck [Hollywood Reporter ]

• sadly the script is just too ordinary and predictable to raise anything but a slight smile

  by Jeremy Aspinall [Radio Times ]

• plodding and paltry, Folkson's film looks cheap and like the mock wedding, nothing in it – especially the emotions – feels real, with the quality cast looking understandably disinterested

  by James Mottram [Total Film ]

• nobody's forecasting gales of laughter, but it'll give your pipes a canny wee toot

  by Elliott Noble [Sky Movies ]

• like an island vacation, passes pleasantly and all too quickly

  by Neil Genzlinger [New York Times ]

• less a film, more a bland Britcom box-ticking exercise

  by Tom Huddleston [Time Out ]

• it's perfectly reasonable to appreciate The Decoy Bride as the amusing, perfunctory genre exercise it intends to be

  by Calum Marsh [Slant Magazine ]

• it's indulgent, but Macdonald's performance is attractive and relaxed

  by Peter Bradshaw [Guardian [UK] ]

• Dylan Moran, Michael Urie, and Federico Castelluccio fill out the talented but ill-used cast, and the Scottish scenery is appropriately pretty

  Review rate : D+ by Alison Willmore [AV Club ]
