Blockbuster idea: get a hot TV actress from a hit comedy series and show her bumping into the same trees she dents her forehead with on small screen - have her fly to London for her baby sister's wedding with a hired escort (see, they won't know he's hired, but the audience will, get it?) just to let her family and her ex-fiancé know that she's still kicking. We'll have lots of lewd, drunken behavior amid previously never-seen British castlescapes, won't that be exotic? Sort of, "Four Weddings and a Funeral" meets "Pretty WomanGuy".
I don't know if "Clare Kilner" is a publicist from one of the dozens of corporations who reimbursed the producer for product placements, or just another pseudonym for White House correspondent James Guckert. Whoever he/she is, any flicker of wit or originality has been steamrolled out of this flick before it has even had a chance to sprout. This is a film in which the eating of an anchovy appetizer symbolizes the comittment required for true love.
Debra Messing, the aforementioned hot TV actress, may find herself encouraged to remain on small screen, where she seems attractive and comically gifted. Dermot Mulroney, who plays the escort (another echo of White House correspondents now departed), seems to have been carved from a Ken Doll tree - worse yet, he has a bromide for every single crisis.
The only actor with a spark of life is Sarah Parish, a tall, sexy brunette, who plays the requisite horny female relative. In accordance with the brain-dead logic of "Wedding Date", she has almost nothing to do.
