The Wedding Date is a fairly predictable romantic comedy. Will Debra Messing and Dermont Mulroney end up together at the end? I don't think anyone will see the outcome is in doubt. There are also a few funny moments but nothing that is laugh out loud funny. Yet, I enjoyed this movie more than I did a lot of other romantic comedies. Why? First, I like Messing and Mulroney as a couple. The camera loves Messing, who unlike say, the cast of Friends, will have a promising movie career after her show ends. Second, the movie is sweet without becoming mean, a problem I had with How to Lose A Guy in Ten Days or My Best Friend's Wedding. Third, the movie is done in 90 minutes and doesn't wear out its welcome that Hitch did. I think comedy filmmakers should know when to cut scenes and unfunny subplots that drag the movie down. Also, I think the characters in this movie are fairly smart, another problem in Ashton Kutcher's movies. So, a 6/10 for this movie.
