Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
karen-loethen In this film Debra Messing's character, Kat, goes to London to her sister's wedding and to deal with the fact that her ex will play a large part in the wedding party. Dermot Mulroney's character is hired by Kat to escort her to the wedding, to help her deal with the stress and awkwardness of the wedding.Neither Dermot Mulroney nor Debra Messing worked for me in this film. Sorry. He's too cocky and underwhelming and she's a bit too "less-than- ingénue" to play this role. I found her hard to connect with...However, if you're looking for an empty-headed flick and you don't mind cringe-worthy family scenes, this one's for you.
eastwest-257-811887 Debra Messing does a great, actually she does a fantastic job of playing a looser. Her character in this film is kind of a looser. The character Messing plays has a job and fantastic looks and all that, but that doesn't mean you can't be looser and her character is just that a looser and she does a fantastic job of playing that character so I give her props for that. Which is where the one star I gave this film comes from.Now the rest of the movie was not good, her romance with Dermot Mulroney to me was not developed at all. The movie it's self was put together kind of clunky. Her and Mulroney I'm sorry had no chemistry and the rest of the characters who even cares. I did not care for this film except to say that Debra Messing did a great job of playing a total looser character.
mucephei When somebody ask me what my favorite movie is it's to hard to pick just one, it's pretty much impossible. Now if you asked me the worst, I'd tell them this.........I was at home one night as a kid and remember my mom made me stay inside for some reason. My sisters were watching the wedding date and I sat down and watched the biggest mistake of my life. That's when my life changed. I started watching this movie and within seconds I was begging my sisters to watch something else. They tortured me by saying no. For some reason I really believed in time they would snap back into reality and notice what garbage the wedding date is and then the torture would all be over. I held on to hope. I remember I made a effort to explain how horrendous the wedding date movie was, but sadly their brains were already turn into romantic comedy goo(romantic comedy goo syndrome is a side effect only women get). I know what you're thinking, why didn't I just get up and and stop watching it. The question of why I took this abuse is still unclear to me to this day, and also a huge regret I live with more than a decade later.This movie isn't just julia roberts horrible, it's far beyond that. Which is disturbing to think about. Watching the wedding date is the lowest point that I have unfortunately reached so far in my life. I beg if anything is out there watching over me to never have me fall so far down again.I guess on the positive side it made me not just more of a man but more of a good human being by never encouraging this type of movie to be made. It changed how I approached romantic comedies. Even though I'm scared to be in the same room when one of them is being viewed, I DO NOT fear them.By the way if you think this is a fluke and it can't be that bad you are just wrong. My neighbor was watching the wedding date with his girlfriend and he just dropped dead. Luckily his dad was home and he was able to provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation. He would come back to life and just die again. His dad ended up bringing him back to life 4 times until the electricity miraculously ended up going out, which saved him from a terrible awful death.So let it be known that the wedding date is a true demon.P.S. The males who are reading this need to be aware. Since viewing this movie I have devoted my life to researching RCDS (Romantic Comedy Death Syndrome) and have discovered that males have a gene that is destroyed when viewing romantic comedies. This gene is needed for males to live. I call it the Arnold Schwarzenegger gene. The gene can handle only very very small amounts of romantic comedies but if you view to many because of your girlfriend you will die. To replenish the damage done to the gene the following needs to be done ASAP. My research indicates that viewing Arnold Schwarzenegger movies while completely plastered on vodka will very slowly regenerate the gene. If you feel you've damaged the gene extensively try not shaving for a month, curse a lot, eat red meat, buy a framed picture of John Wanye and watch plenty of boxing (Preferably the 1920-1970 era's of boxing). So if you know a victim of RCDS I'm deeply sorry for your lost and Good Luck to you!
Desertman84 The Wedding Date is a romantic comedy film that stars Debra Messing, Dermot Mulroney,Amy Adams,Jack Davenport,Peter Egan and Holland Taylor.It was directed by Clare Kilner and based on the book Asking for Trouble by Elizabeth Young.Kat Ellis is a single New Yorker who returns to her parents' house in London to be the maid of honor at her younger half sister's wedding. The best man is none other than her former fiancé, who unexpectedly dumped her two years ago. Anxious about confronting him and eager to impress him, she hires suave escort Nick Mercer to pose as her boyfriend.Kat intends to make her former flame, Jeffrey, jealous, but her plan backfires when Nick convinces everyone, including her, that they are madly in love. Kat then feels herself, too, falling for Nick as he slowly falls for her. Along the way, Kat discovers her half sister, Amy, slept with Jeffrey while they were still together. Jeffrey dumped Kat because he believed he was in love with Amy. Amy confesses her betrayal to her fiancé, Ed, just before the church ceremony. However, Ed decides that he loves Amy more than he is angry, and they end up getting married after all. Kat and Nick end up together. Jeffrey, the main reason for all the trouble, learns absolutely nothing. At the end he is seen, possibly in France, as Nick jokingly said to Ed, trying to get the attentions of a female neighbor.The main problem with the film is that it seems to be missing a sequence where we see Kat and Nick actually falling for each other - the script pretty much expects us to take it for granted just because they're the leads.That is why this movie does not work for everything just works as a plot requirement.
