The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
A bland romantic comedy in the Richard Curtis style, The Decoy Bride is mainly notable for its proof, if any was needed after "Boardwalk Empire," that Kelly Macdonald is a major talent.

Village Voice by Michael Atkinson
Pernicious tripe suitable only for masochists and the intellectually disabled.

The New York Times by Neil Genzlinger
The script, by Sally Phillips and Neil Jaworski, mocks celebrity culture but never turns too caustic. The movie, like an island vacation, passes pleasantly and all too quickly.

The Guardian by Peter Bradshaw
It's indulgent, but Macdonald's performance is attractive and relaxed.
