Plot summary
Spoiler warning: Plot ending details follow.
Kat Ellis (Debra
Messing) is a single New Yorker who returns to her parents' house in London to
be the maid of honor at her younger sister's (Amy Adams) wedding. She is dismayed
to discover that the best man is none other than her former fiancé, who
unceremoniously dumped her two years ago. Anxious about confronting him and eager
to impress him, she hires debonair male escort Nick Mercer (Dermot Mulroney) to
pose as her boyfriend.
Kat intends to make her former flame, Jeffrey (Jeremy Sheffield) jealous, but her plan backfires when Nick convinces everyone, including her, they're madly in love. Along the way, Kat discovers her younger sister, Amy, slept with Jeffrey while they were together. This affair was the reason why Jeffrey dumped Kat because he fancied himself in love with Amy. Amy confesses her guilt to her fiancé Ed (Jack Davenport) before the church ceremony. Ed decides that he loves Amy more than he is angry and they end up getting hitched after all. Kat and Nick end up together.
