Kat Ellis's (Debra Messing) worst nightmare is about to come true. Not only is her younger, half-sister, Amy (Amy Adams), getting married before her, but to add insult to injury, the groom's (Jack Davenport) best man is Kat's ex-fiancie, Jeffrey (Jeremy Sheffield). Two years after being dumped, Kat is a single New Yorker and can't bear to attend the festivities at her parent's London home alone, so she does the next best thing: she hires an escort to play her boyfriend. Her rented date, Nick (Dermot Mulroney), fits the bill perfectly. He's handsome, intelligent, well spoken, intuitive, and a perfect gentleman--a virtual bargain at $6,000. The plan? Make Kat's ex sorry that he ever let her go. <br> <br> But the plan takes a turn when Kat finds herself attracted to Nick, and the feeling seems to be mutual.

Too Subtle for Americans?

Author's Rating: Rating: 5/5 stars

Pros: Victor Ellis (Dad) knows everything. Watch this again and see what he's doing.

Cons: Simply too subtle for many Americans.

Author's Review
Many American audiences do not understand what Peter Egan, as the father-of-the bride, is doing. From the beginning, he knows everything. He is totally aware of the "back story" - Kat was dropped because her long-time boy friend had an affair with her sister. Victor Ellis is fully aware of this, even if his wife Bunny (Holland Taylor) is not. To truly get this movie, audience members must listen closely to each of his exchanges with Nick. It is amazing that people give so little heed to those short scenes - scenes that are absolutely pivotal. Message: we can influence our adult children best by being indirect, by saying as little as possible. See Victor and Nick at the breakfast table, Victor and Nick at the card table, Victor and Nick prior to the rehearsal dinner, etc. Mr. Egan and Mr. Mulroney are superb!
