Patrick Dempsey makes his full transition to romantic-comedy stardom in Made of Honor, flashing those winning dimples and twinkly baby blues to full fetching effect. The camera truly loves him, and his considerable affable charm calls to mind early Hugh Grant, winsome even in utter confusion. Dempsey plays Tom, a nice guy but a serial dater with a girlfriend in every zip code of New York; Michelle Monaghan is Hannah, Tom's BFF since college, who's decided she wants marriage and family. When she becomes unexpectedly engaged to Colin (Journeyman's Kevin McKidd, rather McDreamy himself), Tom realizes what the viewer's known all along--that Hannah is in fact his dream woman. It's When Harry Met Sally... meets My Best Friend's Wedding--but thankfully, Dempsey's Tom is far more sympathetic than Julia Roberts' snide schemer. The plot isn't exactly full of surprises, but the cast--and their amazing chemistry--are so winning that the film makes for the perfect date movie. Not only are all three leads charming in their own way, but the rich cinematography manages to make both Manhattan and the Scottish countryside look like glorious edens, one urban, one windswept. Monaghan is a revelation, quietly lovely as a young Carla Bruni, but with a flinty gumption that makes her all the more appealing. The supporting cast is rich, too, especially Sydney Pollack as Tom's serially marrying dad. (At his dad's fifth--or is it sixth?--wedding, Tom's new arm-candy "stepmom" gets tipsy and overly affectionate with guests as her new husband looks on fondly: "Ah... drunk as the night I first met her.") But at the core of the film are its big heart, and the connection between Tom and Hannah, deep and wide whether they end up just best friends or more. And the delight for viewers is knowing they'll be just as glowy either way.-- A.T. Hurley

 Rent don't buy! December 2, 2008
C. Brigden (Minot, ND)
Ok - you know the premise of the movie - he loves the bride/bestfriend and wants to stop the wedding. I loved the Scotland parts but the rest of the movie was just average. It is PG-13 for a reason - lots & lots of talk about sex and a few tame bed scenes. Rent don't buy...
 My Best Friend's Wedding from a guy's point of view November 28, 2008
Craig Frooninckx (Phoenix, AZ)
I'm married and I watch movies with my wife from time to time. She is the romantic type and loves the classic chick-flicks. So I have to endure and watch them with her from time to time. This time it was Made of Honor. What made this one more appealing was the fact it was from the guy's point of view, allowing me some inside humor that I can laugh about.
Over all, it was predictable, but still good, fun and easy to watch.
Not as great as you thought it was... November 25, 2008
N. Wimmert (Ann Arbor, MI)
The previews for this movie were much better than the actual movie. Although Patrick Dempsey is always a treat to watch I didn't think this movie was his best. It was a little cheesy and not really all that funny. The movie itself is about two best friends who have no physical chemistry to one another until the female finds love on a trip to Scotland. After she returns from her trip engaged, Dempsey realizes she is the love of his life and he has to have her. The movie then goes through the storyline of him being her made of honor and the journey that follows them as she discovers he is in love with her. Again, not Demspeys best film.
Just another typical love story November 23, 2008
A. marrero
I really looked forward to watching this film, but ah! There is nothing new to see here. Its a very predictable film with some funny, dare I say laugh out loud (just not to hard) moments. I really can't even say that its worth the time, sadly. I mean if you are a McDreamy fan then you will probably want to watch. Also, if you are stuck in doors, in my case my date (well boyfriend) was running late and I found myself web surfing so I rented it online its an okay watch if the purpose is to fill in time, however I would not want to pay a couple of bucks to see it. If you have cable premiums then its probably best for you to wait for it to make it on there.
On another note, I watched 27 Dresses a couple of weeks ago and I didn't expect much from it but it was quite good. That movie would do over this one anyday- its story is entertaining, its plot is more substantial, and its not so very predictable though as most romantic dare I say comedies, as that one did not get any laughs out of me, you more of less know where the story will head. However, that film I felt was worth the time. Its also a very nice date movie- 27 Dresses is.
 Fun Movie November 16, 2008
L. J. May (Fresno, CA)
I'm a Patrick Dempsey fan and saw this movie when it was released in the theatre. After my recent trip to Scotland I was thrilled to find that some of the scenes were filmed in the beautiful historical places I visited. I just had to add "Made of Honor" to my DVD collection.
