Bride comes before a fall

The Decoy Bride (12A)

Reviewed by Teddy Jamieson

It has an interesting idea, a talented cast and an impressive desire to buff up that most glorious of Hollywood genres, the screwball comedy, but on screen The Decoy Bride seems, with the exception of a sterling performance from Kelly Macdonald, lifeless and inert. It's a movie that knows what it should be doing but doesn't quite have the hand-to-eye coordination to carry it out.
