The Decoy Bride is a 2011 British romantic comedy film written by comedian Sally Phillips and Neil Jaworski, and starring Kelly Macdonald, David Tennant, and Alice Eve and set on the fictional island of Hegg,[4] supposedly located in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.

American movie star Lara Tyler is hounded by the press as she prepares to wed English author James Arber.

She moves back into "The Sunrise", the bed and breakfast run by her terminally ill mother Iseabail, taking up her former shop assistant job.

Captivated by James's enchanting – albeit fictional – description of Hegg in his latest book, Lara chooses to have their wedding on the island.

With Lara missing, Steve proceeds with the ceremony, using a "decoy bride" to convince Marco he has succeeded in photographing the wedding, but without informing James.

Heavily veiled, she arrives at the Chapel and exchanges vows with James, but her dreadful American accent alerts him to the lie.

Steve locks Katie and James in the bridal suite, keeping the press focused on the castle until Lara can be found.

Katie confesses her feelings for James, but leads the paparazzi away as he meets Lara and the reverend, with Marco watching nearby.

Months later, Katie prepares to leave Hegg; she traveled the world with her mother before she died, with Lara's help, and her guidebook has been published.

[10] Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times liked the film, praising the performance by Tennant and Macdonald and the mocking of celebrity culture.

[13] Michael Atkinson of The Village Voice called it a "pernicious tripe suitable only for masochists and the intellectually disabled" and notes that "the supposedly frothy tone is tarry and flavorless, and the drill is painfully familiar".
