nice movie, so-so plot

Warning: Spoilers
The Wedding Date is a pretty good romantic story but the ending is unbelievable. I mean, who would've actually continued with the marriage in those circumstances?! Debra Messing (Kat Ellis) and Dermot Mulroney (wedding date - Nick Mercer)had pretty good chemistry. They were funny and hilarious at times but they also had some nice romantic chemistry throughout. The other big plus was that the movie is set in England. This gave it a more romantic atmosphere in my opinion. Amy Adams (Amy - Kat's half sister) was pretty cute and sexy! The bachelorette part was hot! Amy in the wedding dress was angelical! She was annoying when she had to and was great in the drama scenes. Holland Taylor (Bunny Ellis) and Peter Egan (Victor Ellis) played the parents of Kat and Amy. Taylor played a mother who constantly embarrassed Kat with her comments but still showed that she cared. Egan played the father and husband who would always watch over his daughters and tolerate his wife through all her embarrassing actions. He was very suave in talking every time to anyone. Sarah Parish (TJ) played a funny best friend of Kat who would do anything to protect her and party hard with her. She also had some funny comments at times.

Overall, this movie was a nice romantic comedy. It will make you laugh, cry and feel the love in the air until you realize how crazy it is that the wedding still went on. The subtitles in the end to explain what happens to the people after the wedding is just stupid! Leave it to the imagination of the audience. Telling the audience, this is what happened to this person is corny! The cast is great and the location is beautiful. Just needs a little improvement in the writing department and directing.
