Kat (Messing) does not want to go alone to her sister's wedding. So, she hires an escort named Nick (Mulroney) for $6,000. Soon, they are off to England for the ceremony. She hasn't seen her family in a while, and only gets along with her stepfather (Egan). Oh yeah, and her ex-fiancee (Sheffield) is the best man. She wants to make him jealous, but soon sparks begin to fly between her and Nick.

"The Wedding Date" is a romantic comedy with no originality. One could argue that the genre itself has no originality, but this movie feels cobbled together from scenes from romantic comedies past. I hated "Pretty Woman", and there are enough similarities in "The Wedding Date" to make me cringe. The leads, Messing and Mulroney, do the best with what they have, and there are some laughs, but unless you really like romantic comedies, this movie is not for you.
