Starts off well but goes off the boil once the setting changes to England. Debra Messing puts in a good performance and looks great, but it can't save the story. Its also strange that she has gone "home" for the Wedding of her sister, yet sounds totally American. I guess she couldn't do the accent.
I've actually read the book this is based on, and that wasn't fantastic either.
I had forgotten Amy Adams was in this one. Not actually the best role I have seen her in - she plays blonde and yucky here. Not sure exactly what fails with this movie. Think it's just a dud storyline and unconvincing.

Kat (Debra) is looking for a date for her sister's wedding so she hires an escort to make her ex jealous. Some secrets are revealed at the wedding and things get complicated with the escort. Good cast and good storyline. I'd kill the sister!

"Holy crap. You're worth every penny."

Everyone's seen 'Pretty Woman', the film that made Julia Robert's lips the sexiest thing on earth back in 1990. In that movie, a man falls in love with a prostitute (or was it the other way around?) and you can say that love conquered all. But then again, that's like every teenagers fantasy... Falling in love with a hooker. Or is it?

Enough of the bullshit and back to the topic. 'The Wedding Date' is like 'Pretty Woman' but the other way around. Here the man is an escort and the woman is the one paying for the services. But there's no lips of Julia nowhere to be seen.

Debra Messing's character is on her way to her sister's (Amy Adams) wedding in England. Her former boyfriend is the bestman and there's like no way she's going there alone! You gotta like make the former one jealous. Dah. So the answer to her problems is the Yellow pages. Double Dah. Off to England and her messed up relationships there. But it's her luck that the male escort (Dermot Mulroney) is a charmer. Cupid's just around the corner... (SPOILER?)

I just didn't get it. I guess I missed the part where people actually fell in love? Or was it even written in the film? It's just hard to imagine that a person would fall for a person who takes money for services like this. But then again I'm not that romantic. Was there a saying that the hooker's have a heart of gold or something?

Debra Messing and Dermot Mulroney have a good chemistry, so it's a good thing and a necessity in a romantic comedy. I'm strictly straight but even I would've come in my pants if Mulroney's velvety rough voice would whisper softly in my ears and tease me by kissing... Did I actually write this?

Well, enough with the "oh-I'm-trying-to-be-funny" shit. 'The Wedding Date' was enough of a good romcom to be seen once. I didn't understand the person's actions but it's not my genre. I'm not in to romantic comedies, even if Julia's lips would star in the movie. Some occasional funny scenes and two good leads. Worth a watch with female company.

Not an altogether, original Rom Com, with reminders of many other films but this U.S meet the U.K plot gives a real mixture of Actors and characters.

Whilst it is predictable and corny it's very watchable and definitely one of the better Romantic Comedies I feel

Love doesn't come cheap. I have a tiny bit problem when I watch a Movie with Ruppert Everet and Dermot Mulroney. I always think D.M is Ruppert Everet. So embarrassing.

Is The Wedding Date good? Absolutely not! Is it entertaining? Sort of.... Idk, I feel like I should not actual rate of review this movie. Generally, I hate these type of films. So, how accurate of a rating can I possibly give? The Wedding Date could accomplish apsolutely every it set out too. I watched a movie that was cliched and predictible, but it kind of seems like that's what it should do. Amy Adams generally amazes me, but this would have to be the first mediocre performance I've seen from her. Idk, its kind of funny and I liked the guy who played her ex-no idea what his name is There really are no major compliments I can give too this film. BUT, it really is not bad, I honestly can say I enjoyed watching it. Why? I have absolutely no idea... So, give it a shot. At the absolute worst you will waste 90 minutes. In the big sceme of things that really isn't much. Or if you do not, you really have not missed much either.

Shoddy story, awful performances with a script that sounded like it was written by a 12 boy in love. Adams, Messing and Davenport hang your heads in shame, your better than this. However, Mulroney, Sheffield and the ever awful Sarah Parish, we expected no less! If you're gonna miss a film this year, make sure it's this one!

This movie is great if you're looking for the cutest and sweetest romantic comedy. I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch this movie since I had hated Durmot in Must Love Dogs, but that was just the role he had to play and in this movie his character was the complete opposite and was adorable. Debra Messing had a great performance as well. Definetly worth watching!!! I love this movie! :)

I thought this movie was perfect if your looking for a lighthearted romantic comedy. It lifts your mood and leaves you with that warm fuzzy feeling when it ends. I really thought that the actors worked well together, and the script was smart and funny and really well put together. It doesn't really have a background serious motif, except that if you want something you really need to go out and get it, but some of the lines could be used as life- quotes or whatever if you really wanted to. Dermot's character is pretty interesting, and the stuff he says is basically true, when you think about it. Really, though, it's just your basic romantic comedy: fun to watch but easily forgotten.

"I'd rather fight with you than make love with anyone else."

Plot: The story revolves around Kat, (Debra Messing) who plays the typical single New Yorker who is invited to her younger sister's wedding in London. What should be a joyous occasion bodes disaster for Kat, however, when she discovers that the best man will be none other than her ex-fiancé, who, two years before, inexplicably dumped her. In a desperate attempt to face the ordeal with dignity, she hires Dermot Mulroney (a male escort) to pose as her boyfriend and escort her to the wedding. Dermot Mulroney was a nice surprise - he managed to confer some of the sophisticated, suave yet mysterious and charming refinement his character required, and looked quite natural doing it.

"The hardest thing is loving someone and then having the courage to let them love you back."
