The Wedding Date

Amy Adams, C. Gerod Harris, Debra Messing

Kat Ellis is looking for the right man -- now! The position comes with a few requirements. The qualified candidate should have the ability to make ex-boyfriends jealous, to turn heads whenever enterin...( read more  read more... )g a room and to reduce any woman to a weak-kneed, besotted admirer. Kat wouldn't be so urgently in need were it not for her spoiled half sister's wedding, where the best man happens to be Kat's handsome ex-boyfriend. What's worse, the currently single Kat has to schlep all the way from New York to London, where her wildly dysfunctional family lives. Kat does what any enterprising single woman would do -- she hires a professional escort. So what if her solution crosses a few morally dubious lines and costs her a tidy 6,000 bucks? Lucky for her that she hires Nick Mercer, one of New York's better known and in-demand professional male escorts. Once in England, the insightful and charismatic Nick helps Kat navigate the choppy waters of her screwy family and caddish old flame Jeffrey and convinces everyone he meets that he and Kat are an item. As Nick charms Kat's parents, Bunny and Victor Ellis, her self-absorbed half sister Amy, Amy's fiancée Edward and every living, breathing woman within a 100-kilometer radius, Kat finds herself feeling things she's never felt before. What begins as merely a face-saving ruse with a dashing guy-for-hire quickly becomes more than Kat ever expected.

Mulroney is a stealth actor: Whenever you see him in a picture, you're not just reminded of how good he almost always is -- you have the sense of discovering it for the first time. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

Like a bridal shower, it's probably more fun if you have some champagne first. Perhaps some enterprising theater manager will consider this. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

A fairly mediocre film, not nearly as funny as it should be, nor as heartfelt. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The Wedding Date presents the curious case of two appealing performances surviving a bombardment of schlock. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

Scenes don't build momentum, and I don't think I've ever seen a feature where so many lines of dialogue were delivered by actors hovering off-screen or standing with their backs to the camera. full review

    Sucked. No, really sucked. Avoid at all costs. The preview was the best part, it was all downhill from there.

    TJ had to be the best charcter, she brought the thing together, and made me laugh alot. Especially in the dance class :). Good film, one that can be watched several times.
