"My date is going to sit down in Three-B, and I need him to look really, really, really good today."
Hello Three-B!!!
"Close your eyes. You're safe. I'm not going to kiss you. He is going to be so sorry he lost you."
-Nick Mercer from The Wedding Date
He's hot! He's sexy! He's a manh00r. He says all the right things anyway.
Did you love this movie as much as me?
This was one of those movies that I came across that just completely had me in knots and rewatches--before Twilight came along. I didn't know the story when I saw this movie. I hadn't read the book "Asking for Trouble" by Elizabeth Young. All I knew was that this was a romantic comedy and it was starring Dermot Mulroney, a crush of mine from long ago. Without a doubt, to me, this was his best role ever. One of my other favorite roles of his was in "How To Make An American Quilt." A lot of you probably liked "My Best Friend's Wedding" but I didn't. I wasn't prepared for Julia NOT to get the guy when I watched that movie or something, but I still liked him in it. Ummmm, let's just say "The Trigger Effect" was probably his worst movie choice ever.
****Side note /PSA: If you are awaiting your boyfriend to propose to you, I suggest a 2-movie marathon that consists of watching "How to Make an American Quilt" followed by "Family Man." And actually watch the movies--don't get distracted! There are messages your boyfriend needs to get out of BOTH movies.
This video includes a lot of the great lines from this movie and will give away the plot, just in case you haven't seen this movie.
***SPOILER ALERT***
{DarlaProduction awesome video, thanks!}
Nick's lines in this movie kill!
"The hardest thing is loving someone and having the courage to let them love you back."
"I think I'd miss you even if we never met."
and the grand finale...
"I'd rather spend the rest of my life fighting with you than making love with anyone else."
and the grand finale...
"I'd rather spend the rest of my life fighting with you than making love with anyone else."
*sigh*
Pssst....I guess I like this theme of the girl asking the guy to pretend to be her boyfriend because I also liked the movie "Drive Me Crazy" (don't even judge me! I only apologize that they used a Britney song).
Oh, and I loved "Picture Perfect."
Did you see this movie? Kevin Bacon in it as the hot bad boy? Delicious!!!! Jay Mohr as the sweet guy? His best role ever!!! I loved the humor of Olympia Dukakis as Jennifer Aniston's mom--she is always great! If you haven't seen this movie, watch the trailer above to get a good idea of what it is about.
One of the parts of this movie that I love is when Kate provides Nick a study guide of all this vital info about her because he is going to pretend to be her boyfriend. So the study guide includes where she went to school, her birthday, names of her parents, et cetera. And his response is, "How do you take your coffee? That's something couples know about each other."
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, I realized something.
I don't know how Rob takes his coffee.
I'm pretty sure he was putting some kind of sweetner
in it in 'Remember Me.'
Rob,
As my pretend boyfriend, I think I should know
how you take your coffee.
Wanna fill me in? Or at the very least, do you want to know how I take mine? According to the movie "Picture Perfect" as my pretend boyfriend, you should know these things about me. I prefer sugar-free flavored creamer in it, but I'm very flexible. I can drink it with just cream, just milk, just sugar, just sweetner, just black, or just after your lips have been on the cup.
Have you ever asked a guy to 'pretend' to be with you in order to make another guy jealous?
{It definitely sounds like something I would do. Oh don't look at me like that! I brought a guy from college to a bar crawl, a little journey on which I expected to be running into a certain guy. It wasn't to make the certain guy jealous exactly--it was just to get him to take notice....or to be able to judge his reaction....errrr, same thing, right? In all fairness the guy from college knew the story. He was all too willing to play along.. maybe a little too much considering he tried to kiss me at the end of the night. My noncollege friends (guys and girls) that I hung out with that day all LOVED him and completely yelled at me that I should be giving up on the other guy and focusing on the guy that was with me.}

I checked RM vids and pics and it looks like on 2 different days he added 2 creams and 3 sugars to his coffee
Ohhh I lurv me some Dermot! Especially in "Point of No Return"
Oh...the wedding date. I saw that so long ago and NOW it means something totally different. I need to see it again!!!!!!! Thank you for all those clips, I just spent WAY too long on them all!
I'm always introduced to such new and interesting things hangin with you TT. You are right that Nick Mercer seems a lot like Fifty, Profward, Twilight Edward, and yes and EP Edward too! I'm going to look/see if I can find that movie as I've never seen it! The way he leans in all breathy and hot, and so cool, oh, yeah he's got a lot of our Edwards in him.
good morning to me! gosh, i love youtube! thanks for that TT.
i like to pretend a lot, it keeps me going, keeps me jogging on the treadmill. i hope i never wake up. being grounded in reality is totally overrated;)
random note- and i decided you need to get a twitter account. mkaythxbai.
@RobzSinger DITTO - TT needs a twitter account. do we need to start a petition?
TT (charlie) you love bringing up movies from the past.. i am one of those people who liked "My Best Friend's Wedding" but I loved "How To Make An American Quilt."
my coffee- 1 splenda/non dairy creamer or soy milk.. bit of nutmeg on top (if it's a latte).
happy weekend charlie
There is another great line in that movie, but Nick doesn't say it... TJ does.. it's early in the movie... but it makes me laugh every friggen time I here it.. and she says it after seeing Nick for the first time, and she winks at here... you know the line TT :)
That movie was full of all kinds of goodness. The car.. Gah.. and then when she kisses him back in the bar infront of all the ladies... the surprised look on his face.. the eyebrows.. the wow.. I kinda like this... yeah.. good scene.. good good scene.
I also loved "Picture Perfect" and I won't go into all the reasons because this comment will go way longer then it needs to.
You always bring up the best movies.. and then I go home, pull them out of my dvd collection and watch them again..
@IJM.. love that you offered to suffer the research to find out how Tyler takes his coffee :)
Great post!
So NO ONE is going to admit they used a guy to make another guy jealous at one point? Well I admit that should I ever meet Rob I hope Mr. ATP is right there by my side so Rob feels the pang of jealousy deep within his soul. ha!!!!
@IJM, and again you prove why I'll just be stepping aside when it comes down to just you and me to Rob. I was too effing lazy to go watch RM. Now I can fix him coffee to go with the cookies I make him.
@mox, Point of No Return! Yes he was hot in that. He's also on my top 5 list of prematurely gray-haired men. *cough* ;) I wonder if he ever dated Martha...ne'ermind. LOL!!!
@mrsP, you are welcome. I think there are a lot of us that will be watching this movie again very soon! LOL
@robzsinger and Jayla, feel free to tweet me..other people do. :)
@RPattz, Jayla left instructions for you for how she takes her coffee so you better get hers right with breakfast.
@Fran, You won't regret watching this movie, I promise. Oh and there is a boathouse scene--very Fifty, too! And the commentary on this movie is interesting. They explain how it was cheaper to film it in England but how everything shuts down for the day at 5pm.
@kelly, TJ..the cousin, right? She was hysterical and she did have a lot of great lines! The boat! Him eating the anchovie even though he hates them. LOL I'm jealous you have this movie. I don't but now I want to rent it and watch it too.
*whispers*
I don't even know who that guy is tbh... before my time huh?
What I care about though is knowing how Rob likes his... coffee.
I am pretty sure he uses coffee mate ?
The only movie that I have seen that is mentioned in this post is The Family Man. I really liked it. But I have no clue about any of the others.
And Rob totally told me that he was my pretend boyfriend. I think he is playing us.
Ok, I have seen bits and pieces of that movie but now I REALLY need to watch it again. Thanks TT *wink wink*
xoxo J
