Just finished watching The Wedding Date starring Debra Messing (Grace of “Will & Grace”) and Dermot Mulroney (the groom in My Best Friend’s Wedding). It’s kind of a reverse Pretty Woman, and unbelievable in the same way. But sweet and fairy-tale-like in the same way, once one suspends disbelief. It’s probably one of my favorite feel-good movies already. Here are some of my favorite lines that Nick (Mulroney’s character) got to say:
* While giving a toast to the women at the bachelorette party – “Here’s to the husbands who’ve won you, the losers who’ve lost you, and the lucky bastards who get to meet you.”
* Consoling the drunk groom-to-be, who was offended that his best man broke the no-stripper pact and hired strippers to his bachelor party, “as if I would sleep with a prostitute; I’m about to get married!” – “It’s been my experience that a man in love doesn’t want a prostitute. Eddie, you did the right thing.”
* Laying down next to Kat (Messing) on a large bed that she flounced on, after she complains that she spent the whole weekend complaining about her life and she doesn’t know a thing about him – “I’m allergic to fabric softener. And I majored in comparative literature at Browne. I hate anchovies. And I think I’d miss you even if we’d never met.” Reaches out to hold her hand.
* In explaining to Kat why he came back to her after they fought – “When we were fighting, I thought this was over. And I was gonna leave you alone and just take off, but…then I realized, I’d rather fight with you than make love with anyone else.” They kiss sweetly.
siiiiiggggggghhhhhhh…
Hi there!! Still checking on you… 😉 I just wanted to mention that this movie is based on a book called “Asking for Trouble” by Elizabeth Young. It has some small details and situations that weren’t in the movie, so you may want to read it. (It’s an easy, guilty pleasure read.) Just FYI.
Great movie, not as good as Love Actually, but still a really nice make you feel good inside movie. Check out must love dogs with John Cusack and Diane Lane, I think u will like that one also.
You know, I’m thinking I don’t like this vacation stuff… start taking your laptop with you!!!
Raquel – I’m all for guilty pleasure reads. I just finished an anthology of female-targeted erotica.
Rebirth – way ahead of you. http://cindy.ocliw.com/?p=153
Jordan – I know, I know, I feel bad about that, too. But it truly was because I didn’t have my laptop with me.
