The first romantic comedy ever made must have been both revolutionary and profound. Maybe some women found themselves admiring the emotionally desperate in their attempts to find the perfect match, while laughing at jokes about sex and marriage along the way. That was then. Now, you can expect to see Sandra Bullock, Meg Ryan or,...

Leave 'Wedding Date' at the altar ... With superficial characters and a simple, unlikely story, it seems as if writer Dana Fox didn't take the time to develop it ...
In the grand tradition of wedding movies with paper-thin plots, "The Wedding Date" is a sickly sweet piece of bubble gum better spit out - and fast. Audiences tired of the same old flavors won't find anything novel or satisfying in this clich?©d romantic comedy. With superficial characters and a simple, unlikely story, it seems as if writer Dana Fox didn't take the time to develop it completely and thoroughly. With a running time of just 88 minutes, audiences are left wondering how or why certain events happened. The premise of the movie is that Kat Ellis (Debra Messing) must fly over to London for her sister's wedding, where she will be forced to encounter the groom's best man, Jeff, her former fianc?© who dumped her after seven years together. Kat decides to hire a male escort named Nick (Dermot Mulroney) to go along with her and play the role of her new boyfriend, in order to avoid looking pathetic and single. For his work, Nick charges $6,000, with "sex being extra" - $1,700 extra. The movie includes an appealing cast, which may be the only aspect driving audiences to the theaters. Debra Messing, star of NBC's "Will and Grace," does a nice job playing the self-deprecating character of Kat Ellis. A woman who is incredibly concerned with how others view her, Kat desperately needs to prove to her family and friends that she is doing fine even after the traumatizing breakup with her fianc?©. And let's not forget Dermot Mulroney. Most remembered from his role in "My Bes...

Bad romantic comedies are among the worst films to sit through. They're not funny, terribly acted, and have ridiculous plots that are more fantasy than science fiction. The Wedding Date is guilty of all these sins and one more that is the most unforgivable. It is a total cop out. It spends the entire first and second acts building up tension around the premise; then goes somewhere completely different in the ending. The filmmakers couldn't figure a way out of their set-up, so they abandon it and serve up a healthy portion of cheese for the audience to gag on.

With the wedding of her younger sister (Amy Adams) fast approaching, Kat Ellis (Debra Messing) faces the undesirable prospect of traveling alone to London for the ceremony.
