Who would have thought that a chick flick could be so good! Debra Messing plays Kat Ellis, who as the older, unmarried sister is dreading going to her younger sister Amy's wedding. So she hires a male escort for the weekend at a cost of $6000 from her 401-K to make everyone jealous, including the groom's best man, who jilted Kat several years ago. It sounds kind of complicated, but Dermot Mulroney as Nick the hired male hooker plays his part to the hilt. As you might guess, Kat eventually falls in love with Nick the escort, but there are all sorts of situations in the way that lead to this decision. He is everything that she wants in an escort: he immediately makes her x-fiance jealous, and all the females at the weekend wedding fall for him. Her father likes him and so does her mother! There is also a real good plot here because we finally find out the secret that broke up Kat's original wedding, and it is a whopper! Dermot Mulroney as Nick has the best lines in the movie. "You create the love life you have." "If you look someone straight in their eyes, they won't notice what you are wearing." "You might as well look at my body since you are paying for it!" and so on This is a definitely a couple's movie. It does not show any skin that you would be embarrased to see on the screen but definitely suggests it. Debra Messing is also very good, but the movie is definitely Mulroney's. This movie is even better than "Four Weddings and A Funeral," which created a buzz several years ago. Happy Viewing!Read full review
Well what can I say, great actors, great story line makes a great movie...Debra Messing ( from Will and Grace) she plays Kat and (Dermot Murloney)plays Nick. Kat has to go home for her sisters wedding, to Kat's ex fiance...What could be worse, oh! No Escort (Date). Kat could not go alone not to the wedding of her ex, and her sister. So she finds in the paper for hire to be her boyfriend and attend the wedding. All the things that could go wrong do, and the laughs continue. This is truely a girly girl movie, in the end girl gets the guy....Well worth the $, if you love the romance in movies...this is one for you, laugh, laugh, laugh....Pop the corn!
Bought this movie because I saw the end of it on TV. Loved Dermot Mulroney in it. He stole the show. Was disappointed in Debra Messing because she talked too fast, didn't enunciate her words well and did a lot on undecipherable whispering. I had to turn the sound all the way up and run and rerun parts of it to finally figure out what was being said. The only problem I found with this movie was all the bloopers in it. She goes to the NY Airport wearing a long sleeve dress and coat in August, He gets on the plane wearing a blue shirt and gets off wearing a white shirt and tie. It's obvious this was not a big studio production. But overall it was a really good movie and worth buying. At least they didn't kill Mulroney off in it like they have in most of the other movies he has made.
Messing's character, Kat, is still grieving over her failed engagement to Jeffrey. She knows that Jeffrey will be the best man at her sister's wedding, so she hires Nick, a professional escort, to go with her as her date. Nick fits in well with everyone of Kat's friends and family and soon the 'sparks' are flying between Nick and Kat. Nick is there when Kat learns why her engagement failed and through a serious misunderstanding, they nearly separate permanently. Thru some good advise from Kat's dad she discovers what she really wants is Nick. The story line moves well and the romance aspect of the movie is fun.
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.Read full review
