Wedding Date, The
Carina ChocanoIn The Wedding Date, Dermot Mulroney plays an escort hired by an insecure New Yorker to squire her to her sister's wedding and act as if he's in love. Debra Messing plays the free-spending john, so it follows that Nick is no ordinary hooker - he's a hooker with a degree in comparative literature from Brown.
Had Chekhov written The Wedding Date, an Ivy League semiotician introduced in the first act would have certainly deconstructed something in the third. (The movie's basic premise, perhaps?)

Wedding Date, The
Mike ClarkNow here's a premise. In The Wedding Date, a tense New Yorker (Debra Messing) pilfers her 401(k) of $6,000 so she can hire an A-list male escort (Dermot Mulroney) to accompany her back home to her half-sister's wedding in London - all to make the ex-fianc?? who dumped her jealous.
Given Mulroney's well-known penchant for lockjawed dialogue deliveries, you have to wish she had spent her money more wisely. But his character is the only A-list component of this pitiful little feel-good comedy with seamy underpinnings. This guy gets the six grand just for showing up; sexual services cost more.
The movie goes wrong from the start by simply throwing us into the action and asking us to identify with Messing's desperate scheme. Hiring a gigolo wouldn't be s...
