When the wedding of internationally famous film star Lara (Alice Eve, Men In Black III, Sex and the City 2) to English author James (David Tennant, Doctor Who) is sabotaged by a paparazzo, they decide to relocate the event to the remote Scottish island of Hegg. But the press will not be so easily shaken, and the couple has to take more drastic measures to ensure their privacy. Enter local girl Katie (Kelly MacDonald (Boardwalk Empire, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2), who's selected as a decoy bride to lure the press off the trail. But when Katie meets James, sparks fly, dresses get ruined and suddenly love gets complicated. Featuring an all-star cast, DECOY BRIDE is a charming romantic comedy about the pratfalls of finding true love.

I am a David Tennant fan and now a Kelly MacDonald fan. This is a lovely romantic comedy that focuses on characters caught in a delightful dilemma. This is the type of role that Tennant does with such ease - giving depth to his character making it easy to see how two women would fall in love with him. Kelly MacDonald is down to earth and human like the rest of us. Making it even better is the fact that David's fiance is someone you also like - in fact there isn't a character to dislike - so no stress! Buy it, pop some popcorn, relax and enjoy - I've watched it twice already - I bought it region 2 from Amazon UK when it was released in England.

I've just watched this movie one and three-fourths times in a row (all D.T. scenes), and then I went back and watched my favorite scenes again, twice. I jumped on the opportunity to see this movie in the US since I'm a die-hard David Tennant fan, and where do we get this much screen time with him lately? This was even better than I expected, and I'd recommend it as a good romp to anyone, fan of David Tennant or no. Best ten bucks ever spent! Enjoy!

Admittedly, the only reason I got this film was to see David Tennant outside of the DOCTOR WHO realm. My expectations were low and so imagine my utter surprise when I found myself completely drawn in by this wonderful little comedy! The plot is pretty simple, but this film is so much more enjoyable because the writing is great and the actors are far more fun to watch than the standard American romantic comedy leads. Because the dialogue is delivered by actors who inhabit their character as opposed to actresses trying to pose as thespians, this film has a lot of heart going for it. And even though it's somewhat predictable, you cannot help but be entertained. No need to give you any plot points, but if you're a David Tennant fan, then you'll enjoy the film. If you like comedies that are not bombastic in their approach, then you'll be smitten. If you like excellent dialogue and quarky characters, then you might just fall in love with the film. Not the greatest story ever todl, but DECOY BRIDE is a far better film than anything featuring Katherine Hiegel and Jennifer Anniston. These actresses could learn a thing or two about sutbtleness, which is why this film works so well. Can't help it....I'm under the DECOY BRIDE's spell and am most likely going to buy this film on Blu Ray as it's a great film when you need cheering up and want a smile on your face!

I am admitted David Tennant fangirl, but having said that, the movie was cute and adorable all on it's own. A bit formulaic in parts, but it's a rom-com chick flick. David was great and Kelly was brilliant. I fell in love with both of them. Definitely worth the 10 dollars to watch!!

I am also a David Tennant fan from the US, and was so excited to see The Decoy Bride available here on Amazon. It was a really cute movie that was a bit quirky at times, laugh at loud funny (at least I did), and enjoyable to watch. David was (as usual) fantastic and Kelly MacDonald was lovely to watch as well. The island was a gorgeous backdrop for the story too. I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys chick flickish movies, and/or is a David Tennant fan:)

This is one of the best romantic comedies I have seen in years. It remids you of the romantic comedies that Doris
Day used to do. I highly recommend this to everyone that likes light romantic comedies. David Tennant and Kelly MacDonald
are great together. I watched it on Amazon on-line when it was offered it for rental.
Had a gift card that I used and I watched it about 10 times in the 48 hr rental period.
Loved it.

We watched this last night on a hunch and found it to be a treasure. We were not familiar with any of the cast and found them all to be thoroughly enjoyable in their portrayals of the characters in the movie.
This has a totally different feel to it and places the viewer very quickly on a remote Scottish island where ordinarily nothing ever happens but that is about to change. The movie reeks with charm and atmosphere and captivated us from the very beginning. After only a few minutes we knew we were in for a completely different sort of film experience and wound up having a lot of fun with the story and the cast.
This is suitable for the entire family and provides a fun evening's entertainment; I recommend it highly.

Thank you Amazon for carrying this film. I've been looking forward to this film since first I heard about it. I'm a huge David Tennant and Kelly McDonald fan; and quite frankly, these type of films never get played in my small rural Oregon coast movie theater.
It was an entertaining romantic comedy. I love films that don't need to be sexually explicit in order to tell the story. The odd country characters made an interesting side note to a nice little film.
It was 89 minutes well spent, and I'm actually going to watch it again.

It's a romantic comedy, of course it's going to be kind of terrible.
Personally, I thought this movie was adorable. I'm not a fan of romantic comedies in the slightest. I can count two in the last five years I actually enjoyed, this one included. Read more

A couple of strong actors but weak plot.
I loved the scenery and a couple of the actors were first rate. But the woman that played the lead, the so called big star did not carry her role. Read more
