Critic Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert

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

Dallas Observer - Luke Y. Thompson

It seems like a slam-dunk pitch -- "Pretty Woman" with the genders reversed -- but there's one major problem: The whole hooker-fantasy bit is much more of a guy thing. Read full review

Philadelphia Inquirer - Carrie Rickey

A vaguely creepy and mildly diverting rom-com. Read full review

Miami Herald - Connie Ogle

It's an hour longer than the average sitcom, but The Wedding Date isn't much different from what you see crammed into any TV comedy lineup, minus the laugh track. Read full review

Chicago Tribune - Michael Wilmington

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

TV Guide Magazine - Angel Cohn

It might be best to discreetly misplace your invitation to these strained festivities. Read full review

New York Post - Lou Lumenick

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. Read full review

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 areI 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… Expand
