Think
“Pretty Woman” with the roles reversed and the
lead character not as rich as Richard Gere. Debra Messing
(of Will & Grace fame) plays Kat, a single New Yorker
who hires a sexy male escort to accompany her to London,
England for her sister’s wedding. That’s about
it, the story in a nutshell, don’t expect any more
than that and you won’t be disappointed. I was hoping
for some dry British wit when they got over to London and
that didn’t happen, which was quite a letdown to me.
The main theme of the film is that appearances are all that
matters, with Kat madly obsessing over how she looks to
her friends and family at the wedding (kinda sad really).
Another theme here is just don’t expect too much.
Messing is cute and smiles a lot so she seems to be having
a good time and if you like her on Will & Grace you
will enjoy the movie as she does light up the screen, if
that’s enough for you. Inevitably Kat and her handsome
escort Nick fall for each other and happily she doesn’t
seem to mind too much what he does for a living- only in
Hollywood I say.
