Softwing
Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

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.

The Wedding Date (2005) is a fair and decent romantic comedy. I really did enjoy the casting, Debra Messing did a good job and Amy Adams did as well, and of course the very sexy Dermot was the perfect romantic interest. Dermot's acting was very real and impressive, and the chemistry between all the actors on screen was spot on too. The script is pretty decent and alright, not the greatest dialogue in the world, but it sufficed. The sex scene was well shot and was very sweet, gentle, and sensual, which is how a good sex scene should work. I liked the romance and to be honest, the film got better as it went on. Early on the movie was dragging some, and it needed to pick up the pace. The movie as I said, got better with that as it went along. And I didn't mind seeing Dermot strip down lol, what can I say, it was nice. And the cousin in the movie was hilarious, loved her character. 6/10

Debra Messing does a great, actually she does a fantastic job of playing a looser. Her character in this film is kind of a looser. The character Messing plays has a job and fantastic looks and all that, but that doesn't mean you can't be looser and her character is just that a looser and she does a fantastic job of playing that character so I give her props for that. Which is where the one star I gave this film comes from.Now the rest of the movie was not good, her romance with Dermot Mulroney to me was not developed at all. The movie it's self was put together kind of clunky. Her and Mulroney I'm sorry had no chemistry and the rest of the characters who even cares. I did not care for this film except to say that Debra Messing did a great job of playing a total looser character.

My journey into Rom-Com Hades is a short one so far, but I've seen enough of the genre to determine this movie the worst. To begin with, the movie's premise and nauseating characters are bad enough for their insulting lack of charm or logic. Dimwit Debra Messing hires male gigolo Dermot Mulroney for $6000 to accompany her to a family wedding, but it gets worse. Do male gigolos even exist, excluding jail-bait for homosexuals in sexual tourist spots in Tangiers or Thailand? Whatever. Every repellent bridesmaid, jilted ex, bumbling parent, in-law, etc. embody bug-eyed cartoons with awful clothes and mannered acting choices. Messing's hair is the putrid color of Orange Crush. Who designed this flick, anyway? In fact, the whole movie shares one color scheme, which seems to be Flight Attendant Uniform, and this best epitomizes how the movie's smallest details make its biggest flaws even worse. Add the rip-off locale of England (to remind audiences that, hey, "Four Weddings & a Funeral" took place there!), and it's not enough to distract one from all the other cliché's on screen. Lots of Michael Buble on the soundtrack and the obligatory Motown hits to keep the honkies in the Cineplex entertained—yet without unsettling them with music that sounds too much like actual negroes—and I'm sure the studio thought they had a hit soundtrack as well. They even afforded to buy a Maroon 5 ballad to stick into the movie's one sex scene! Lines of dialogue include, "I'd rather fight with you than make love with anyone else", and Mulroney looks so exceedingly uncomfortable in this swill you can almost forgive him. Almost. But not once his character falls in love with Messing's charm-less, spas of a 9 year old girl masquerading as a 20-something female (and the audience's object of sympathy). This another failure on the script's part, as I don't know how any woman could identify with Messing's creepy brat. The final insult the movie delivers: it was written, directed and produced by women. If this doesn't set back the dignity of both sexes a century or more, I don't know what could. Horrific.
