Plot summary

Kat Ellis (Debra Messing) is a single New Yorker who returns to her parents' house in London to be the maid of honor at her younger half sister's (Amy Adams) wedding. She is dismayed to discover that the best man is none other than her former fiancé, who unceremoniously dumped her two years ago. Anxious about confronting him and eager to impress him, she hires debonair male escort Nick Mercer (Dermot Mulroney) to pose as her boyfriend.

Kat intends to make her former flame, Jeffrey (Jeremy Sheffield), jealous, but her plan backfires when Nick convinces everyone, including her, that they are madly in love. Kat then feels herself too falling for Nick as he slowly falls for her. Along the way, Kat discovers that her younger half sister, Amy, slept with Jeffrey while they were still together. This affair was the reason why Jeffrey dumped Kat because he fancied himself in love with Amy. Amy confesses her guilt to her fiancé Ed (Jack Davenport) just before the church ceremony. However, Ed decides that he loves Amy more than he is angry and they end up getting hitched after all. Kat and Nick end up together.

Soundtrack

The Original Score was composed by Blake Neely, performed by the Northwest Sinfonia Orchestra and was released as a limited edition by Buysoundtrax Records on February 4, 2005.[1]


Trivia

  • Michael Bublé sings Home as well as the last song featured in the film: "Save the Last Dance for Me".
  • Although weddings usually have multitudes of fresh flowers, the filmmakers tried to use fake flowers as often as they could because Messing is allergic to the real ones.
  • It was remade in Hindi as Aap Ki Khatir (2006) starring Akshaye Khanna, Priyanka Chopra, Dino Morea, Sunil Shetty and Amisha Patel.

Locations

Some outdoor scenes where they are playing 'cricket' are on location in Parliament Hill Fields overlooking west London. Another part of the film is set in Shere, Surrey.
