The Wedding Date (2005, DVD)

Movie Description
Kat Ellis's (Debra Messing) worst nightmare is about to come true. Not only is her younger, half-sister, Amy (Amy Adams), getting married before her, but to add insult to injury, the groom's (Jack Davenport) best man is Kat's ex-fiancée, Jeffrey (Jeremy Sheffield). Two years after being dumped, Kat is a single New Yorker and can't bear to attend the festivities at her parent's London home alone, so she does the next best thing: she hires an escort to play her boyfriend. Her rented date, Nick (Dermot Mulroney), fits the bill perfectly. He's handsome, intelligent, well spoken, intuitive, and a perfect gentleman--a virtual bargain at $6,000. The plan? Make Kat's ex sorry that he ever let her go.


But the plan takes a turn when Kat finds herself attracted to Nick, and the feeling seems to be mutual. But will their business arrangement stand in the way of a relationship? And just what is it that Kat's ex has been dying to tell her? Messing is endearing as Kat, who seems to be simultaneously bewildered and bemused by her situation. Mulroney, meanwhile, is at his most charming as Nick. Clare Kilner (HOW TO DEAL) directs this romantic comedy set in London and the English countryside, which also features Holland Taylor as Kat's slightly overbearing mother and Peter Egan as her loving stepfather. Sarah Parish is a hoot as the sisters' bawdy British cousin.

      Great actors but still a disappointing story

    I was very surprised and disappointed with this movie. I was expecting a good chick-flick. But in my opinion The Wedding Date didn't even compare to most decent feel good movies. The lead actors are GREAT as always. But the characters and the writing they had to work from was often corny and to be honest sometimes annoying.

    Good movies usually cause you to care about the characters and become invested enough in their fictional lives that you want to see how the story ends. But unfortunately, this film goes back and forth so many times that the characters are very confusing. Debra Messing is a great leading lady. But the way the film was written made it so half the time you didn't even like her character. Which would be fine if you had another good character to balance that out. But Dermot's character was not at all likeable and charming. For me, this is fine for an ok dvd to rent on a friday night. But I definitely wouldn't buy it.

      great "chick-flick"
    Review created: 05/07/08

    Very romantic movie. Loyalty is rewarded in the end. The scumbag ex-boyfriend ends up with nothing. The selfish little sister has to own up to her misdeeds. A good old-fashioned "all's right with the world" ending.

    Loved the movie so I decided to buy it. This movie is a romantic comedy with a dash of didn't see it coming drama. The funny parts are great. Nice light hearted chic movie. Great to watch when youv'e had a bad day.

    I love this movie, just the right amount of drama, romance and laughs. Debra Messing and cast are great. Now if I could just find the soundtrack with the music from the movie I would be extemely happy.
