THE WEDDING DATE (dir. Clare Kilner)
You know, I swear it's not about the sex. It's about understanding what people need. No, I don't play games. No gimmicks. It's much more...Subtle? It's not about me, it's about you. Show me.
In the edgy comedy Anyone But You, Bea (Sydney Sweeney) and Ben (Glen Powell) look like the perfect couple, but after an amazing first date something happens that turns their fiery hot attraction ice cold — until they find themselves unexpectedly thrust together at a destination wedding in Australia. So they do what any two mature adults would do: pretend to be a couple.
Opens at SEEfilm Cinemas December 22 | Tickets available now!

Review
When I was 3 years old, my family and I went to the theatre: Famous Players on Princess St. (now defunct). My Father and 3 brothers went to see…
The Wedding Date is an overall charming Rom Com that tackles typical relationships in sometimes unexpected ways while still hitting all the beats required for a romantic comedy that has the two leads get into an aggressive formal dance as a form of flirting.
The most predictable inversion was the use of a romantic lead working as a male escort, something that’s usually reserved for female leads starring opposite Richard Gere. Interestingly, the tension lies in whether he’ll catch feelings rather than whether he finds the relationship to be physically gratifying, something usually inverted in the female escort-centric romance plots.
The film is cute, doesn’t require too much headspace, and is full of little british cars and also a volvo wagon (always a good time).
Kat (Debra Messing) hires a gigolo to take as her date for her sister Amy's (Amy Adams) wedding. Why would anyone do that?
The best man is her ex fiancee who left her, she wants to make him jealous so hires high class juggalo Nick Mercer (Dermot Mulroney) to do so.
It definitely works and her ex is seething with jealousy, however she starts to fall for Nick for real so has a big choice to make....
Yeah so i was quite enjoying the first half of this film? I liked the dynamic between Kat and Nick. The movies dumb as fuck but in a romcom way which is ususlaly enjoyable. Movie got a lot worse when they got to London and the wedding shit started. So many awful characters introduced. The ending was bizarre also.
The wedding date has an 11% from reviewers on rotten tomatoes but a much better audience score of 67%.
