      A typical little fresh love story

      The wedding of actress Raya and her fiance James, in order to avoid paparazzi chasing, photographed a small island with scarce items and a population of only more than 70 people. For various reasons, they finally found their true love stories. The scenery of the island is very charming, the endless sea, the beautiful sunset, the beautiful rocky reefs, and the uncertain weather have created a lot of good opportunities for James and Katie. The part that James helped Katie unbutton is still a...

      Inspirational film for older women

      30 years old, frustrated in love, returned to the lonely island on a heavy rain day, and prepared to die alone—if not in love within 6 years, there would be no interest in love.
      It is in this case that on an island where no one cares about only 75 households, the only male of the right age is just married, and the only unmarried male has gray hair, loneliness seems to be a nail-biting matter, but! There is nothing impossible in romance movies!
      It is this kind of impossibility that can...

      Oh, I especially like to write film reviews for bad movies. It feels so cool~ It takes

      less than 5 minutes to guess that the marriage between a female celebrity and a young writer is definitely not possible. Then I pulled a paragraph and started to talk about the only girl on a certain island who hadn't been married-or a big girl with a Scottish accent. At this time, I haven’t recognized that the male lead is a small writer and the female lead is a big girl. Your previous movies have...

      I can't watch it for five minutes! !

      At the beginning, it attracted me. A very interesting link. Many brides ran out, and I don’t know what happened and found it very interesting.

      But when I saw the woman who threw the ring into the sea (the so-called heroine), I felt something was wrong! Why does it look like a heroine? (I don't know who the heroine is at this time) It's over, I'm going to watch a story introduction, otherwise it will be broken if I stand on the wrong team!

      At this time, I went to Du Niang...

Sally Phillips expressed that she loves Scotland and she believes that the film should be a "super romantic Disney style" film about Scotland. She sets...

    Evaluation action

    "The Decoy Bride" is a dull romantic comedy in the style of Richard Whalley Anthony Curtis , but it proves that Kelly Macdonald is an important talent. Actress Kelly Macdonald's performance brings humor and warmth to this romantic comedy, and she alone can make the audience like this film. Despite the stunning scenes in the film, Sheree Folkson, the actor and screenwriter director, could not hide the clumsiness of the script. David...
