Wedding Date

Last night i went to see the Wedding Date. this would surprise just about anyone who knows anything about me--(it is very very difficult for me to escape from the house where the front door is guarded by the three year old twins, and an extended family of 3 teenagers and a 20 something (and a partner) who all seem to need my personal help when it comes to doing complex things like locating the margarine or finding the remote control (it is exceeding ironic that i am the only one who can ever find the remote control given that i almost never get to actually control it))-- but i was given free tickets by a sister-in-law who was grateful for some help i'd given her with an assignment so off went self and the other sister-in-law (who had also helped on said assignment). as a means of filling in 90 minutes it was fairly painless (and i spent at least 45 of those minutes trying to work out who the lead guy reminded me of only to eventually work out he looks a lot like a flashed up- extreme-make-over version of the Captain from Fire fly...). but this movie had absolutely no credibility re plot or character development. woman hires guy to be her date for the wedding of her sister. her ex fiance is naturally going to be there and she wants a partner to show how well she has 'moved on'. so she hires this guy and despite doing nothing at all charming or entertaining in the entire show (except change clothes about 977 times) he falls in love with her and they live happily ever after. about as sophisticated as the average episode of the Teletubbies...and no where near as well acted. but despite that it was still good fun to be out AT NIGHT. Maybe there is life after toddler-hood??
