The Wedding Date presents the curious case of two appealing performances surviving a bombardment of schlock. Full review One for hardcore rom-com-heads only, this is a leaden mess that offers only brief moments of respite. Full review In a string of clichéd misadventures, no thought is given to fleshing out the characters. Full review The Wedding Date is a fairly mediocre film, not nearly as funny as it should be, nor as heartfelt. On the plus side, it's only 85 minutes long and isn't boring.Roger Ebert

(Mulroney is) so believable as a romantic lead that he almost manages to sweep Messing along, too.

I sat through all (of) The Wedding Date, but God knows how.

Watching this is like briefly getting back with an ex – it’s all very familiar and it gives you a nice warm fuzzy feeling, but once that’s passed, you really hate yourself for it.

So many other romantic comedies have been cannibalised that Maid of Honour of Frankenstein might be the better title.

A sweet, mindless diversion that is reminiscent of dozens of other romantic comedies.

Debra Messing is absolutely engaging in this smart and witty romantic comedy...
