Genres & Description

Comedy Drama Romance

6.2 / 10

Famous actress Lara Tyler can't get married to author James Arber without intrusive paparazzi crashing the ceremony. Because of James's best-seller, Lara's agent, Steve, checks out the little known Hegg Island in Scotland as the site for their next attempted wedding. Unfortunately, James is a hack, and his book (supposedly based on Hegg) relays little of it accurately. Katie, an island native and the only unmarried woman on it, has been unlucky in love. She's working on writing her own guide to Hegg Island when Steve and crew arrive, eventually hiring her as a reluctant decoy bride to distract the paparazzi. In a mix-up, she and James end up married to each other while Lara, having spotted the press, goes into hiding. Katie and James now have to get an island divorce while avoiding the press while other parties seek out Lara (who has disguised herself as one of the elderly islanders).

I don't know who the guy is but I recognize the homely chick from Gosford Park- where she was Scottish. And the Blonde chick from She's Out of My League and Star Trek. - @Thursday, November 16, 2017 4:47 PM

I hear this got quite a lot of negativity, and I'm a little surprised by it because I just watched this movie the other night and I thought it was lovely. Sure, the plot wasn't literary genius or anything, but as far as romantic comedies go I really like it. It's not raunchy or vulgar or anything, but cleverly written with a sweet romance to match. Plus... David Tennant and Kelly Macdonald. How can you go wrong? - @Friday, July 14, 2017 2:05 PM

As somebody who's seen the movie I think this trailer does an awful job of advertising it, I'm glad I watched the movie before I saw the trailer because I never would have seen such a delightful film. - @Thursday, June 1, 2017 11:20 PM

When the priest says has the marriage been consummated and David says no I just haven't had time that made me think of something the doctor would say if he was in that situation - @Thursday, April 28, 2016 11:02 PM

I just watched this and I loved it, though I am a big David Tennant fan, so I was always going to watch it at some point. Kelly Macdonald is amazing, does she never age? She was 35 in this and looked about 25! - @Saturday, December 5, 2015 8:05 PM

Surprisingly, Dave Ten is really good at acting out slapstick roles. He really takes it all in stride and makes it look so natural. XD - @Saturday, August 22, 2015 4:57 PM

I would not call myself a fan really but I liked him in Who and started watched his other performances. Found him remarkable in recovery. Then pretty cool in this movie :). Oh yes creepy in HP as BC Jr. Of course am binge watching Broadchurch and Gracepoint now. Hoping to see Jessica Jones when it airs. Am sure he was just as good in Hamlet and takin over the asylum. - @Wednesday, July 15, 2015 6:53 AM

Isn't that idea kind of fucked up though... Like.. She ended up basically ruining an engagement by stealing a fiance when she was supposed to actually help the couple get married. - @Sunday, March 29, 2015 9:22 PM

FoxBatinaHat

I think its sad and narrowminded when people think of him only in his role in Dr.Who. If you are a David Tennent fan, you should look at him a serious actor. He was incredible in Hamlet, wonderful in BroadChurch as DI Alec Hardy (I think its his BEST acting role) and just brilliant in this movie. I would like to see him in a few more movies. I hope he doesn't retreat too much into Theatre, the UK and BBC would loose a budding actor. PLEASE- do like David Tennant for more than just one single role! Check out the short film 'Traffic Warrant' you'll like it too! - @Wednesday, January 14, 2015 4:32 AM

Everytime I see a Doctor on a different role, I just think that this is what he does when his other companions are sleeping or something - @Monday, September 15, 2014 3:17 AM

Why is it that after Doctor Who, David seems to be acting in quite a few things with the name 'Tyler' or some variation of it? - @Wednesday, November 27, 2013 3:51 PM

Oh god, the way he said "brilliant" reminded me of how he used to say it in Doctor Who. No. No. I'm falling into a sea of feels. - @Thursday, October 24, 2013 6:47 AM
