And this one's pretty dumb.
Sigh.
The Decoy Bride is about a crazy-famous actress (Alice Eve) trying to get married to a writer (David Tennant). They escape to a little Scottish island called Hegg, where the writer's book was set...except he's never been there, because he's a lazy researcher or something. Anyway, the press find the couple, and so someone has the brilliant idea to have a fake wedding using a local girl (Kelly MacDonald) as, you guessed it, a decoy bride. And of course, the groom falls in love with the decoy after spending one day with her. I'm not even spoiling anything for you; you can literally tell by the poster that this is going to happen.
How wistful!
Well, on the plus side, this movie is so goddamn cute. As a Doctor Who fan, I'm obligated to be in love with David Tennant (though truthfully my favorite Doctor is Christopher Eccleston), and Kelly MacDonald is adorable, even though her character is terrible ("ooh look, I'm so unlucky in love and I've given up even though I'm young and attractive. Look how awkward I am." Yeah, we've never seen that before). Add to that the charming beauty of Scotland (or wherever the hell they filmed this; I'm not a geographer) and you've got the perfect movie to curl up with a pint of Ben & Jerry's in front of you as you spend another weekend sitting in your apartment feeling sorry for yourself.
I'm so alone.
