Reviews

Region 2 import, plays in English without subtitles. Lara Tyler (Alice Eve) is one of the most famous movie stars around, but all she wants to do is marry her fiance, writer James Arbor (David Tennant). Besieged by paparazzi, especially Marco Ballani (Federico Castelluccio), who is obsessed with Lara, they escape to the tiny Scottish island of Hegg to try to wed in peace. However when the paparazzi tracks them down, and with the locals smelling a payday, Lara becomes upset and runs away. In desperation her management team, led by Steve Korbitz (Michael Urie), decide to stage a fake wedding, hoping the paparazzi will fall for the scam and leave the island. Local girl Katie (Kelly MacDonald), who is nursing a broken heart, is recruited to pretend to be Lara. But is James really sure Lara is his true love?

3.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised 11 Mar 2012
Format:DVD
I've been trying to track down a cinema showing of this film without success. I'm a fan of Sally Phillips and was interested in seeing her first feature film. Additionally, I really rate Kelly Macdonald and was intrigued to see her in a British film, given her main work has been US based most recently. The premise of the film is slightly flimsy - world famous actress (Alice Eve) wants to marry cynical writer (David Tennant) without paparazzi intrusion. Their first wedding is scrapped when a photographer is found in the church, so they decide to reschedule and hold the wedding on a remote island. The Kelly Macdonald character returns to the island after a period away on the mainland; sworn off men, she agrees to help out with the wedding by acting as a decoy bride to fool the paparazzi. Lot's of silliness ensues, however there are some fun set pieces, and Tennant and Macdonald do their best with a script which needed some tightening. The scene with the deaf couple worked really well, and Phillips shows promise as a screen writer. Critics have really panned the film, however I watched the film with my husband who thought it was "entertaining" (which for him is high praise indeed). Buy it if you like light romance and need to check your brain out for an evening.

5.0 out of 5 stars British rom/com at its best 7 Jun 2012
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Fantastic example of a british rom/com. David Tennant is again a superb actor playing the role of a blocked writer brilliantly, but the star of the show really is Kelly Macdonald. Very funny, playing a believable character without the needy edge some women in rom/coms seem to display. dynamic pairing. fantastic script

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Rom Com since What Rats Won't Do 10 Dec 2012
By Rachel
Format:Blu-ray
I love this film, i rented it for some light entertainment and ended up watching it about 3 times and have just bought the DVD. It's a romantic comedy so you can't expect anything ground breaking but the cast is wonderful and it's full of little gems, lines and moments that really set it apart for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cinderella and her Time Lord (kind of) 27 Oct 2012
By Rae
Format:DVD
This is a lovely, gentle Cinderella story, with the kind of fairy tale happily ever after ending all little girls who've ever had a crush on a handsome prince (or time lord) will just adore. Very satisfying to find a rom com I could watch with my mother without blushing.
