Debra Messing (TV's "Will & Grace") shines in this hilarious romantic comedy about the surprising road to finding true love.

Kat Ellis (Messing) is determined to attend her younger sister's wedding with a date.

His dashing good looks and quick-witted charm may win over her family. But will they win over Kat? Filled with unexpected twists and endless laughs, "The Wedding Date" is the one date that you'll want to keep!
