Editorial Review:

Patrick Dempsey makes his full transition to rom-com 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 realises 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 umpteenth 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

• So cheesy it will make you feel grubby.
  There are so many things wrong with this movie. I'm not a chick flick fan, as they are so full of cliches, but this one takes the biscuit. When I first watched it I was able to guess what was going to happen 20/30 minutes in advance in some places. In fact they could have saved a lot of time just getting some funny looking guy to read out the main plot, and then spent the rest of the time showing us a decent love story with some natural comedy, which is always funnier (although the physical comedy with... more info

• Predictable? Yes. Great fun anyway? Oh yes!
  In Made of Honour, Patrick Dempsey plays Tom, a nice guy but a serial dater whose sex life is dominated by rules, i.e. no back-to-backs, no phone call until at least 24 hours after getting a phone number, and so on. He has no emotional attachment to any of these women, and in fact, the only constant female in his life is Hannah (Michelle Monaghan). They've been best friends since college and are pretty much inseparable.
  When Hannah goes to Scotland for six weeks to work, Tom has an epiphany. Yes,... more info

• Love this!!!
  I thought this film was brilliant. I loved it at the cinema and couldn't wait to buy it on DVD. Of course it helps that the gorgeous Dr McDreamy from Grey's Anatomy is in it! The chemistry between the two actors makes you believe in them. Go and buy this film if you love a chick flick!

• Not Made of Honour
  I wont repeat the plot, but suffice to say it really isn't worth wasting time on.
  I only rented it coz my wife was feeling rather ill and I couldn't find anything else that I didn't really want to watch and that was light.
  Light it was - on laughs, on plot, on chemistry, on script.
  The only time I laughed out loud was at a small bit of a slapstick comedy involving Dempsey and waiter.
  Don't waste your time or money on this.
  Instead watched Patrick Dempsey in 'Jeremiah' - a totally... more info
