Critics shritics. I loved the movie. To me, this is a great romantic comedy. It has a sweet heroine and a gorgeous man who literally is the perfect guy for her. Like critics say, it was predictable. But the movie ended exactly like I wanted it to so I wasn't disappointed at all. I left my boyfriend in front of the TV drinking beer and watching the superbowl with his buddies. Hey, if men can have a fantasy world to escape in to, so can I.
Sometimes it's great to just go to the movies and escape into a romantic fantasy. I wish that every guy would see this movie because they could learn something about what women want from the leading man. It's really not that hard guys. I think this movie was the perfect escape for women who don't want to watch football.

I'm not a romance chick, but this was not the most unbearable thing to witness. The flipped "Pretty Woman" idea intrigued me. Execution wasn't comparable, to be honest. Still, it was not a bad movie. I found it annoying how some people were forgiven for things way too quickly or when they shouldn't have been at all. Good chemistry from the leads, particularly towards the end. Dubious consent because it's a 2000s movie, but the movie has this nostalgic charm that is typical for the time period. Why not watch? Might as well just to pass the time and look at Dermot Mulroney's smirking face. He looks like he'd ruin your life, but in a fun way haha.
My college newspaper called "The Wedding Date" a great movie, and I have to agree! I laughed, I cried, I identified with Debra Messing's Character. It is definitely on the list of my favorite movies right now. If you need a feel good love story that you AND a guy will like, this is definitely the movie for you. This movie did what "Love Actually" did for me- renewed my faith in the power of love! There is no part in the movie where you are in effect "bored", as the plot moves rather quickly. There aren't any unanswered questions by the end. There is character development, and you see that the characters (Messing especially) are not just one sided. The power of love is amazing...i do not want to spoil the ending, so that is all I will say! GO SEE THE MOVIE!
To answer Canuck Girl's question from the post previous - the quote that was said a few times, in the article and by Kat's dad at the wedding was -"every woman has the exact love life that she wants". (or something very similar to that). Very true quote in deed!
I thought the movie was pretty good. It won't win any awards or anything, but it made me laugh and I was entertained for an hour and a half...what more do ya want!
I do have to say that it was a little bit similar to a few movies I've seen recently though. I could see what was going to happen next before it did. It reminded me a lot of the movie Jennifer Aniston was in "Picture Perfect" ...similar plot...she hires someone to pretend (Jay Mohr) to be her boyfriend to make someone else jealous (Kevin Bacon) and then ends up falling in love with him the one she hired. In my opinion Picture Perfect was a slightly better movie.

I felt that the character and relationship development was lacking, making the ending not entirely convincing. Nick's perspective wasn't satisfyingly explored, we didn't really get his side of the story, and he seemed way more interesting than any of the other characters whose private affairs apparently deserved the screen time.
