The Knot (2012)

Expected more

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Comedy is a tough genre, but it also can be very easy. It's always good to get young British acting talent together to make your movie, which is the case here. But this does not always hit the spot, trying to be as funny as possible, instead almost talking itself into a full stop time and time again.Some jokes are good though and while this isn't anything like "Big fat British wedding" (taking in the whole experience from both sides and with a group of friends), it does have quite a few cheap jokes that you'll either think are hilarious or just plain juvenile. Especially pranks right before the wedding are a "favorite" ... or that one line you say too loud in a building which almost ruins everything (though the resolution to that is far too simple). It's decent, nothing more, nothing less

Wedding comedy translated to the 21st century ... finally! Best of all this lovely film appeals to boys and girls married or not...it is a great night out. In fact there is so much detail in this film it is well worth seeing more than once ... you will discover something new to make you smile every time... It certainly worked for me. The cast is just the right mixture of new talent and established stars. The way it is filmed is also superb. Every day bits of London showed off in glorious light. Did I already mention the music? Soundtrack is extremely pleasant. Like all good film music it adds to the film without being too obvious. The only criticism I can offer is that the wedding seemed a bit short. Would be interesting to see a next installment of what happened on the honeymoon...or at least the day after the big party...

This is my first ever attempt a film review, hope nobody minds haha. Why have I decided to write one? Well just watched The Knot and had to voice my opinion on this great British comedy movie!Absolutely loved it, laughed the whole way through! At a time where I think we all need cheering up as a nation, the movie really nailed it!It portrayed the very stressful subject of the wedding and events leading up to it in a very clever and yet very funny and emotional way. I am not normally that fond of comedy films but actually thought it was very funny indeed. Well done to all involved in the film, will be watching again tomorrow!!!

I'm an 18 year old teen journalist so here's a young perspective! I thought it was awesome!The Knot is a fun-filled film full of funny moments and excellent British cinematography. Throughout the movie two characters (a couple who are good friends of the bride and groom) film the entire wedding. I particularly liked this element as this is exactly what our generation is like! We're constantly capturing moments, whether that be through Instagram or making Youtube videos and sharing it on Facebook and Twitter. It was relevant, memorable and oozed modern humour - Noel Clarke's and Brett Goldstein's delivery was jokes!Great choice of cast, an eclectic mix of British talent joined by Hollywood star Mena Suvari - names both older and younger audiences are familiar with/can relate to.I went to two screenings, one packed with an industry audience the other was a public screening. Both crowds showed their enjoyment, there was lots of laughter and overall a positive vibe.I'd recommend it to my college mates, couples and anyone who fancies a good fun night out!
