Advantages: comical elements Disadvantages: nothing extraordinary
...While there is nothing impressive or extraordinarily romantic in The Wedding Date, it is a movie which I would recommend for some light entertainment and just the right dash of romance. Starring Debra Mesisng and Dermot Mulroney, the plot is about a single woman who is invited to her parent's home for the wedding of her little sister. However, catastrophe arises when Kat (Mesisng) realizes that her ex fiancé would be attending the wedding too. Not wanting to lose face in front of him, Kat does the one thing possible: She hires Nick (Dermot Mulroney), a male escort to accompany her to the wedding and pose as her boyfriend. The thing is, Nick is even more attractive than she anticipated...
If you read my previous reviews, you will see that for me, the two most important elements in a movie remain the acting and the "feel good factor...

** BRIEF PLOT?
It all go at Nelson Mandela House with Uncle Albert?s, (Buster Merryfield), 68th Birthday approaching, so Del, (Jason David), decides to have a little fun with a rather unnerving surprise for the old man with the white beard, but Uncle Albert swears revenge.
Meanwhile, Rodney, (Nicholas Lyndhurst), is happy to be taking the Barmaid from the Nags Head on a date, but his methods of impressing her go totally wrong...

Advantages: Fun, easy to watch Disadvantages: Some people may not like the predictability
...knows exactly what to say and when! He is smooth and suave and not cocky which makes him more appealing.
When I first watched this film I hadn't really seen any of the other actors or actresses in anything apart from Sarah Parish who only really has a small role anyway but, the actress who plays Amy has since gone onto to play the main role in the Disney film 'Enchanted'. She is certainly good in her role here as the ditzy, selfish woman who only thinks of herself. Jack Davenport had previously starred in the Pirates of the Caribbean and this is about the only film I know him from - his role in the wedding date is that of a very simple and slightly geeky character really who can't believe he has managed to bag a hot young woman!
