The Wedding Date - Major chick flick

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

I'm sure not too many of you guys are interested in this one, but since a couple women come here I'll review this one.
Since I'm not the best writer Ill just give you this synopsis I found:
Debra Messing plays Kat, a never-married New Yorker facing a dilemma: her ex-fiancé will be the best man at her younger sister's wedding! In a desperate attempt to face the ordeal with dignity, Kat hires Nick (Dermot Mulroney), a charming and handsome professional male escort, to pose as her new boyfriend and escort her to the wedding. But what starts out as a pretend relationship begins to turn into something entirely unexpected: a second chance at love.

Kind of like Pretty Woman in reverse. I went with my mom because I'd feel bad dragging one of my guy buddies to such a chick flick. But we loved it and Dermot Mulroney is very sexy. If they had a male escort that looked like that and would fall in love with me, Id pay 6,000 dollars for him. I'm not sure this movie will get you laid if you go with your gal, but I'm not sure what kind of movie does.

Id say 8 out of 10 stars if you're a girl and like romantic comedies and like 2 out of 10 if your a guy?

We need to start ranking movies on their ability to get us laid afterwards.

Googling.... Found this. It's not done all that well though. In the comments section, someone suggested "100 Girls" was that movie ever released?

More crap. Someone needs to do this right.

There is no movie that will get you (not you personally) laid.

Are there movies that will put a girl into a good mood, a romantic mood, or even make her horny? Yes. However, no movie will make her drop her pants and jump whomever she happens to be with at that moment.

Wedding Date takes place entirely in the narrow band of what adults want young people to dream of. The entire movie is so bland, weak and safe that it can't possibly offend anyone. It will entertain those who think that not be offended is the best kind of showbiz. It will bore the piss out of everyone else.

This seems like a good review and all I need to know about this flick.

No sane person believes that there's anything that clicks every woman's buttons and turns them all into a raging sex fiends. If that was the case, drive-in movies and van sales would skyrocket, and I'd be forced to start implanting a subliminal fear of all movies into my daughter. "Daddy can we watch the Winnie the Pooh movi...." ZAP! "Argh! I mean, can we read a book or practice arithmatic?"

However, as you said, movies are mood enhancers (which works either way).
They can also make certain justifications for activities people want to do anyway, but didn't have an excuse to do. Hence, programs like "Sex & The City" where woman are allowed to be casually sexual without any ill affects will increase the "laiditude", while programs that portray men as pigs would decrease it.

And of course, there would be different factors. While "100 Girls" (a story about a college kid who has a random encounter with a woman in a dorm, then spends the rest of the movie trying to find her) might appear to younger college types, it probably wouldn't appeal to older women.
Likewise, your relationship relationship with said woman would affect the movie's impact.

So I guess, I'd want some sort of scale that balances the movie's ability to promote intimacy afterwards, in comparison to the entertainment value for me.
That is, if 10 was highest on the scale: "The laiditude of The Love Letter is 8, but the watchability is 2, so avoid it." (Note, I haven't seen this movie. This is just a guess).

Whereas "the laidability of Pretty Woman is 8, and the watchability is 7, so watch it with your loved one."

I like the ending better:
Wedding Date has two saving graces: it's really fucking short--I walked in a few minutes late and was walking out 75 minutes later; and it's not Alone in the Dark. Two Fingers for this old-lady non-masturbatory fantasy.

Yeah that's a good one, but now the lazy people have no reason to actually click the link to enjoy it. Make them work for the funny.

movie aimed at sexless elderly women who hate bodily fluids, stopped screwing a decade ago and who refer to men as sexy without having any desire to fuck them. And that's who was in the theater with me on Friday: women so old and frigid I could hear their vaginas scratch like sandpaper when they walked.


That's bullshit. And I'm offended, I'm young and really horny and I loved the movie. :D My mom is older, but unfortunately she's not sexless, its hard to get her to shut up about her sex life sometime. Most of the people in the theater were young to middle age women. No this is not a guy movie, even if I had a SO I wouldn't drag him to this, prolly just get on him when I got home.

I am not a boy!
Are girls not suppose to be horny and get on their SO when they want some?? I must not have got that memo.

Ever since my daughter was born, no they're not (except for my wife, because wives don't count as girls)! Girls are supposed to be prim and proper and only date people their daddies approve of... when they're 25 years old!

I just call you a guy because you have a lot of the qualities of a guy faking being a girl. If you had mentioned anything about missing your photo shoot because your bisexual girlfriend and you were having a tickly fight, then I'd know you were a dude for sure.

As for now, I'm content with believing you don't have a penis.

Is it 25 for you? I think the last time I talked to my dad, it was 30 seems like the number keeps going up. But you'll never approve of a guy for your daughter, I could be dating a successful multi-millionaire who recently found the cure for cancer and my father could find fault with him.

I think the reason I can sound like a boy is I grew up hanging around my older brother and his friends and the majority of my core friends are male. More comfortable around guys, but definitely don't have a penis and my favorite color is pink. Oh and the fact that I love stupid girlie movies.

I don't want my daughter to wait until she's 30 to get married. 25 is a nice age. She's be out of grad school, and will have some time working in the real world by then.

As for those successful mult-millionaire, cure-for-cancer glory hogs... those bastards will do anything to get into a woman's pants. Women should go after computer geeks.

As for the penis thing... you're totally missing out. A penis is a very handy accessory. Having a penis is a lot better than having a vag. Now testicles on the other hand, are a real nuissance. They're a huge design flaw in what would otherwise be an incredibly superior reproductive system.

Note: Men don't have testicles on some other hand. It's a figure of speech. I say this because you probably aren't familiar with male anatomy and I don't want you to be disappointed when you turn 30.

Just because Daddy has rules, doesnt mean they get followed. :D Just means he doesn't hear about those things. You'll learn this soon.

I was wondering where I got that quote from! Thanks. Jamie, from Mythbusters.

Yeah, he's the dumb one, but he's enthusiastically dumb, which is entertaining. The show wouldn't be watchable if it where just Adam, because everything would work right, and I enjoy the girlish giggles of glee when things asplode.
