The curious case of two appealing performances surviving a bombardment of schlock.

This is a charmless, lifeless affair that had me leaving the theater in a mood more appropriate to a funeral than a wedding.

Clare Kilner's cast frolics in the countryside in an appropriately British-romantic-comedy fashion, and at times the characters trade silly snaps, but Dana Fox's screenplay is structurally shaky.

A relatively harmless (and thankfully, not entirely laughless) trifle.

Wedding Date is neither good art, good entertainment nor even good trash.

Messing should know this is precisely the kind of movie Grace would ridicule Will for dragging her to see.

A witless, stale and half-hearted rehash of cliches borrowed from the likes of "The Wedding Planner," "The Wedding Singer" and "Four Weddings and a Funeral," this pathetic, alleged comedy certainly wasn't improved by clueless direction by Clare Kilner.

Quite agreable romantic comedy. Yes , that's some revolutionnary scenario and we know the ending right at the 30 first seconds... But can be really entertaining on rainy days.

I knew this was predictable for the first few minutes of this film that's how predictable and awful this rom-com is. Dana Fox's screenplay is formulaic and not all that funny but the performances are decent, and the chemistry that Debra Messing and Dermot Mulroney have with one another are appreciable. So let's describe the plot and end this review as soon as possible. Debra Messing plays Kat Ellis, she returns to parents London home for her sister's (Amy Adams) wedding. Kat's sister Amy is marrying Jeffrey (Jeremy Sheffield), who was Kat's ex-fiance. So she plans to get him back by hiring a male-escort (Dermot Mulroney). This story is stupid, it's predictable and it's basically the same movie. I blame the screenplay, I think the chemistry and acting was fine also the direction it's just the script was terrible. 1.5 out of 5 stars
