Movie Review by Jessica Film Junkie
April 8th, 2007

Short and Sweet

Every critic I read was telling me I would hate this movie, but when I finally gave it a shot, I found that I actually kinda liked this sweet little movie.

It follows Kat (Debra Messing) a single airline employee who hires Nick (Dermot Mulroney), a male escort, to be her date to her sister's wedding. Kat learns a lot about herself and her faults from Nick, while Nick learns that maybe a woman could get under his skin.

The film is a bit short, I would have liked to see more of who Nick is and where he is coming from and the adversity they have to overcome is a little watered down. However the chemistry between Messing and Mulroney is very strong.

It is nice to see Messing play a shy woman, I am so used to her as Grace from 'Will & Grace', but here she is vulnerable without being crazed, a nice change.

Amy Adams is also worth mentioning for her role as Kat's sister who everyone puts on a pedestal. She lets us under the veneer for just a moment, but it is a great glimpse.

Also, British actress Sarah Parish is the hilarious highlight of the film as Kat and Amy's cousin, TJ. She never lets it get too serious.
