Well I actually watched this movie last night in my hotel room by mistake....ut all in all it was a good movie for what it is, a 'romantic comedy'
It is basically about this guy (Dempsey) which is best friends with this really cute girl (Monaghan), the girl takes a business/pleasure trip to Scotland (as she is of Scottish descent in the movie) for 2 weeks and while there, she meets this Scottish guy named Colin MacMurray of Atholl and they decide to get married.
The movie then moves from New York to Isle of Skye, where the scottish character lives in their castle (I think it is Eliean Donan Castle but dont hold me to it).
Anyway, the sets are actually in Scotland, the people are scottish, the highland games are authentic, the family wears Murray of Atholl tartan kilts for the wedding, etc.
All in all a refreshing movie, there are also a few scenes where the male scottish characters wear tweed kilts with their Argylles, etc.
And of course the funny bit when they try to humilliate Dempsey's character and they give him a mini kilt/skirt for him to wear at the highland games.
4 out of 5 haggis in my haggis scale.
