Kat Ellis (Debra Messing) doesn't really want to travel from her NYC home to England but she really has to go -- family matters.
Her sister Amy (Amy Adams) is getting married and Kat's pushy mother Bunny (Holland Taylor) wouldn't hear of Kat missing all the events leading up to the wedding even though Kat's ex-fiance Jeffrey (Jeremy Sheffield), who dumped Kat nearly at the altar, will be the best man when his best friend Jack Davenport (Edward Fletcher-Wooten) marries Amy.
So Kat liquidates part of her 401(K) to pay $6,000 for a professional escort to be her wedding date and make Jeffrey wildly jealous. She can hardly believe her eyes when she meets her date, Nick Mercer (Dermot Mulroney), on the plane heading to England.
Once there, Kat is nervous and the air is tense between the competitive sisters and the mother who yammers on to Nick about how Kat was abandoned by her former fiancee. And Kat finds herself thrust into uncomfortable situations she hadn't anticipated with Nick. Her only comfort is the sanity of her step-father Victor Ellis (Peter Egan).
Directed by Clare Kilner. Based on a book by Elizabeth Young.
