After yet another driving tour of Virginia, Kellie and I came home on Saturday and watched a few movies. Needless to say, the pickings at the video store this weekend were incredibly thin, so cut me some slack as I review what we actually ended up watching.
First up was The Wedding Date with Debra Messing and Dermot Mulroney. It is, in all honesty, your basic chick flick. Messing plays a woman headed to her sisters wedding in London, a wedding in which the best man will be the man who left her at the altar. Still single and wanting to make him jealous, she hires a professional escort to be her date for the wedding. The usual hijinks ensure, with the usual, espected ending. Messing is attactive and funny, but it’s pretty clear why I didn’t hear of this movie until I saw it in the video store.
Next up was The Perfect Man. Heather Locklear, Hillary Duff, and Chris Noth. All starring in a movie about a single mother (Locklear) who can’t seem to committ to a relationship, and her daughter (Duff) who is tired of moving around so she creates the perfect man, using the uncle of her friend as the example. It has its funny moments, but, in the end, there really isn’t any reason I can think of why you should watch this one.
