Knot, The (15)

Knot, The (15)

Comedy, Romance

A couple endures a series of mishaps right before their wedding day.


The critical consensus

The excruciatingly unfunny jokes are delivered by a cast who appear to have been directed to talk and behave in a way that bears no relation to even the drunkest human behaviour.

*(*)(*)(*)(*)Alistair Harkness, The Scotsman, 04/10/2012

It's like the most inept wedding speech you've ever heard, and it lasts an hour and a half.

*(*)(*)(*)(*)Anthony Quinn, The Independent, 05/10/2012

It is not only unfunny and tedious but also hugely unpleasant.

*(*)(*)(*)(*)Paul Gallagher, The List, 04/10/2012

Bridesmaids, The Hangover and countless others have adequately covered the same territory and The Knot feels like a poor, cartoon-like imitation.

**(*)(*)(*)Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 05/10/2012

Crass, unfunny, charmless and speckled with moments of awfulness, this is relentlessly bad.

*(*)(*)(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 04/10/2012

The Knot doesn't raise one smile, let alone a laugh.

Chris Tookey, Daily Mail, 04/10/2012

Maybe Bafta or the Oscars could create a new prize for the year's worst wedding comedy. The competition this year is formidable.

Philip French, The Observer, 07/10/2012

Even the presence of Talulah Riley as the bride-in-two-minds, alongside co-writer/producer/actor Noel Clarke’s affable usher, can’t stop this underpowered union from feeling like a laddish BBC3 sitcom that got lucky.

**(*)(*)(*)Kate Stables, Total Film, 28/09/2012

A reminder of exactly how good Bridesmaids was, this British facsimile fails to replicate its charms or laugh count.

**(*)(*)(*)Joe Cunningham, Empire Online, 01/10/2012
