Critics Reviews: 4 out of 10

Chicago Sun-Times
The character played by Dermot Mulroney is a romance novel fantasy, and yet that doesn't
prevent him from also being subtle and intriguing. The character played by Debra Messing
not only finds Mulroney through an article in the Sunday New York Times magazine, but seems
to have found herself there, too, in the spring fashion issue.

There are exactly two good moments in ''The Wedding Date." One lasts two
seconds and is unprintable. The other happens when the male escort hired
by the movie's addled heroine informs her that she owes him an additional
fee for services that may have been rendered the night before.

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 chuckling are those who will laugh at anything.

Somewhere in Hollywood exists a bin of scripts, each bearing the label “Not Quite There.”
The stories tend to be half-baked, the characters might be underdeveloped, and the jokes often
lack those all-important humorous punch lines that seal the screenplay’s deal. Sometimes,
these “Not Quite There” scripts suffer all three problems – true stinkers, indeed.

"The Wedding Date" is a sweet, mindless diversion that is reminiscent of dozens
of other romantic comedies. You know the ones: someone walks down the aisle with
all the predictable confusion, angst and wackiness the writers can wring out of that rite of passage.
