and gives a performance that helps one understand how she could have a hit TV show though also how she never had much of a career in movies. The hunky gigolo she hires to be her wedding date
is played by Dermot Mulroney, who gives a performance that reminds me how he could keep getting work in movies but also reminds me of why (after 30-35 years) I still can't distinguish him from Dylan McDermott. Of course the major flaw in this movie is the premise: Why does a successful career woman who is also a beautiful fun redhead need to pay Dermot Mulroney thousands of dollars to go to a wedding with her? He's a very generic hunky guy, of which there are plenty in both the US and UK. To her credit,
Madame 10rda says Mulroney is unattractive because he has a hairlip. She has better eyesight than I do but I see no hairlip - I mean, young Joaquin Phoenix, now he had a hairlip (which I guess he's had fixed). But then again, if you were a wealthy hot woman who felt like she needed to throw her money away on a gigiolo, Joaquin Phoenix would probably be more fun to take to a wedding... 2.5/5
