A gal who needs a date for a family function gets the best man money can buy in this
romantic comedy.
Kat Ellis (
Debra Messing) is a woman in her mid-thirties living in New York City and has had more than her share of romantic problems -- enough so that she's gotten word that her younger half-sister
Amy (
Amy Adams) is getting married, and that her mother
Bunny (
Holland Taylor) and father
Victor (
Peter Egan) want to fix her up with someone so she won't look alone and miserable for the big day. Adding insult to injury,
Kat learns that the best man at the ceremony will be
Jeffrey (
Jeremy Sheffield), a former boyfriend who cruelly dumped her without warning two years before. Determined not to show up alone,
Kat swallows her pride and hires
Nick Mercer (
Dermot Mulroney), a professional escort, who will pose as her boyfriend for a $6,000 fee.
Kat and
Nick fly to England for the wedding, and her family and friends are all struck by how charming, handsome, and personable
Nick is -- and
Kat begins wondering if their relationship has to be all business; however, as it turns out,
Nick understands
Kat far better than she expects.
The Wedding Date was based on the novel
Asking for Trouble by British author
Elizabeth Young.
