Genre: Romance, Comedy, Farce
Tagline: Love doesn't come cheap.
Plot: Kat Ellis (DEBRA MESSING) is looking for the right man. NOW. The position comes with a few requirements: willingness to travel, keen social skills, good looks, suave demeanor, sharp mind…and a tux.The qualified candidate should also have (though not required) the ability to make ex-boyfriends jealous, to turn heads whenever entering a room and to reduce any woman within eye and earshot to a weak-kneed, besotted admirer. Kat wouldn’t be so urgently in need were it not for her spoiled, gets-everything-she-wants half-sister’s wedding where the best man happens to be Kat’s handsome ex-boyfriend. What’s worse, the currently single Kat has to schlep all the way from New York—where she’s made her life—to London, where her wildly dysfunctional family lives. That’s one long, thankless trip to take solo. And since the wedding is happening, oh, next weekend, Kat does what any enterprising single woman would do—she tracks down and hires a professional. So what if her solution crosses a few morally dubious lines plus costs her a tidy six thousand bucks which she’ll have to drain from her 401K? And so what if her escort happens to be…well, an escort? Desperate times call for desperate measures. Lucky for her that her hiring skills are pitch-perfect and she zeroes in on smooth heart-stopper

 Calling The Wedding Date a "romantic comedy" is a misnomer. It's not funny, and there's not much romance. Oh, the film thinks it's got humor - offbeat characters, wacky situations, goofy faces - but the only members in the audience likely to be chucklingare those who will laugh at anything...  --James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
"The Wedding Date" presents the curious case of two appealing performances surviving a bombardment of schlock.  --Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
Unfortunately, The Wedding Date is so replete of anything remarkable or substantive, it basically is only of interest for people who are planning a wedding and want some tips about what kind of layout to strive for.  --Vince Leo (Qwipster.net)
A sparkling romantic comedy should be just the ticket for the deadly doldrums between year-end and the Oscars. Nicer still if the comedy in question is actually sparkling or romantic. --Jeanne Aufmuth
"The Wedding Date" has a few good laughs and appealing leads, but it never achieves the lift off of a real sparkling romantic comedy. Kilner's let the champagne go flat. C+
The Wedding Date” is one of those films you have to be in the ‘romantic comedy’ frame of mind to sit through and enjoy. If that describes your mindset, then go for it - and take a date. B---Rebecca Murray
If “The Wedding Date” had been written and directed by men, I have no doubt that it would be jeered off screens for being sexist, retrograde junk. In fact, it was written and directed by women and it is still sexist, retrograde junk.  --Peter Sobczynski (eFilmCritic.com)
The film is just not very funny or original. --James Verniere
Debra Messing is funny on "Will & Grace," but that's because Grace has actual traits, the way real people do. Kat is nondescript and ordinary, a flat, mildly neurotic woman who seems like ... well, like Grace, only not interesting. D--Eric D. Snider (EricDSnider.com)
"The Wedding Date" will no doubt linger like a bad cold through Valentine's Day, but a word of advice to lovers: Don't go unless you plan to spend the rest of the evening alone.  --Lou Lumenick (New York Post)

What a bizarre romantic comedy The Wedding Date is, all at once a mawkish, unfunny, nonsensical and disturbing motion picture that doesn't so much entertain its audience as make their skin crawl.  --Jack Moore (The Movie Insider)
A movie really deserving of being left at the altar, this is one “Date” you certainly shouldn’t keep, Valentine’s Day or no. D---Frank Swietek
Even if you'd never seen a single romantic comedy, The Wedding Date would still seem painfully stale. D--Robert Denerstein
"The Wedding Date" is the kind of movie that assumes the audience won't get anything that isn't underscored... You won't find any belly laughs here, but there will be pockets of light tittering and a lot of reassurance that you can win a spouse by hiringan escort. --Ed Blank
