The Wedding Date (2005)

Rate: 3
Viewed: 10/08

10/08: It took guts to see The Wedding Date because I knew what to expect.

Nothing happens, and certainly, I'm reminded of one or two Hugh Grant films that touched the same theme. Worst of all, I fail to generate interest in the relationship between Kat and Nick.

Meanwhile, the characters are stilted, pretentious, and uncreative. If the movie was made in the early 80's, American Gigolo's Richard Gere and Lauren Hutton would've been perfect for the lead roles.

Whenever I see Dermot Mulroney, all I can think of is "bland." If his face droops any more, it'll be melted like an ice cube on blacktop roof. Debra Messing is ugly and should've competed against Lindsey Lohan in The Ugliest Female Actress contest. According to IMDb, the filmmakers made sure the flowers were artificial as much as possible due to her allergic reaction to real ones. I have a better idea: how about getting somebody else?

All in all, The Wedding Date is every heterosexual guy's worst nightmare.
