Plot:

When the world’s media descend on the remote Scottish island where a Hollywood actress is attempting to get married, a local girl is hired as a decoy bride to put the paparazzi off the scent.

Review:

Another Netflix recommendation. Love the Scottish accents, it reminds me of Brave. A quick search tells me that Kelly Macdonald did the voice of Merida in Brave, so that’s probably why.

I kind of feel sorry for Lara, Alice Eve, she’s evidently a great person, she’s just not right for James, David Tennant. He is the doctor, though, so it’s hard to be the one for him.

The story was cute, nothing really amazing except for the accents. I liked it and would watch it again. Reminded me of The Matchmaker with Janeane Garofalo, but that was probably just the accents. Did I mention I loved them?

3.5/5
