From the preposterous plot to the bland acting, this was not an enjoyable film. Its just not believable that anyone would fork out $6,000 for a date for a wedding!! Debra Messing is still in Grace mode from Will & Grace: utterly annoying and not convincing at all. The film follows the same recipe as most other comedy dramas, only much worse. It is boringly predictable. Its not funny. Its not convincing. Its not sexy. Its not romantic. I wouldn't have missed it if i haven't seen it. There's just nothing special about this film. What did I enjoy about it? Uhmmm...the music and Dermot's body.

Should you be looking for something you can watch while needing a distraction from boring paperwork or mundane housework, that is light, fun, fast moving and so not needing to be taken seriously 'The Wedding Date' is perfect! It has the potential to rescue any viewer from cynicism and pessimism or just a bad mood. There is lovely chemistry between the leads and though the story is completely unbelievable the leads (both couples) are lovely together. This 'feel good' movie is a nice reminder that life does not need to be always serious, and while some people are simply not redeemable that is, they are not good boyfriends or partners, and can waste our time and our life, there are always other fish in the sea.

Not the worst movie in the world, but total fluff. I get the idea that this movie was sliced and diced in the editing room and the scenes just seem to blend awkwardly. I've never seen the DVD version, but I'm guessing there a ton of deleted scenes. Just so many things you are supposed to overlook. For instance, if Amy and Kat grew up in London, why don't they have British accents? Kat has to cash out part of her 401(k) to pay Nick the $6,000 yet she brings with her what is clearly a $30,000+ designer wardrobe - the entire movie is one big fashion show. The character Jeffrey is such a complete d-bag one can't imagine why Kat would be broken hearted over him, let alone spent 7 years with him. And what right does Edward have to be angry at Jeffrey for having a fling with Amy before Amy even started dating Edward? Obviously Jeffrey didn't tell Edward because he's a slime who was cheating on his fiancé with her sister, but he didn't do anything to Edward. And why would Edward, who can't even argue with his fiancé, be best friends with such a slime like Jeffrey anyway? Anyway, Dermot Mulroney is pretty to look at in this movie.

In my opinion, the movie could have been so much more. I wonder if the jacket was written by someone who watched the movie before the editor finished slicing and dicing. Many of the deleted scenes should have been left in. Other scenes would have made more sense (Amy asking Nick if he told her for instance) and the humor the jacket spoke of, would have been much more apparent. At several points we were left wondering where a scene was going only to have it cut away without resolution. Other times, it was as if some crucial lead-in had been left out.The story might be a bit cliché but the writing was passable and the acting and characters were believable enough. The settings, cinematography lighting etc, were great and I like the actors. However, none of this was enough to elevate this movie out of mediocrity.I would have a DVD for sale but then I'd be guilty of criminal behavior, if not as bad as the one those responsible for the way this film turned out perpetrated. The editing crew appear to be guilty of felony film vandalism.
