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

 Fun Movie November 16, 2008
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.
 Not worth the time November 16, 2008

I found this film trite and banal, the same thing hashed over and not done well. Unless you are a big McDreamy fan, and I am not, don't waste your time.
 MOH-IMHO November 13, 2008
I saw this movie when it came out and loved it. Even though the storyline itself is a little on the expected line, I loved the chemistry of the actors and cinematography. And yes, there wasn't a lack of man candy either; especially McDreamy and McArmy. I especially recommend this movie if you're into chick flicks and/or grey's anatomy (under the tuscan sun would be another must see grey's pairing of sandra oh and kate walsh, but I digress). It's very cute and sweet and sometimes you just need a sweet movie to pick you up! Two thumbs up!
 PG-13? Safe for family viewing? November 11, 2008
This movie is ok if you just want to relax and have a few laughs, but only with your spouse. Is this really a PG-13 rated movie? I take PG-13 to mean that some children around 13 years old may watch it, but may need some parental guidance as to what's going on in some scenes. So, tell me how I should guide my 13-year old daughter if she asks me:
(1)Dad, what does "bj" mean?
(2)Why was Hannah shaking her head gently in front of the genitals of the male figure in the painting? Is this scene meant to be funny?
(3)What is that "thunder beads" that woman was selling, and why did the old lady ask, "Where should I put it?"
I indeed watched this DVD with my 15-year old daughter and my wife. Thankfully, my daughter did not ask me those questions. I do not know whether she in fact knew the answers to those questions, because we just had "uncomfortable silences" when watching those scenes. Having endured some really gross and disgusting R-rated so-called comedies (e.g. Knocked Up, Clerks II), I now avoid them completely. I thought it should be safer to watch PG-13 comedies with my family. This movie got me to think twice. While it is not as bad as those R-rated trash, those crude sex jokes have no place in the romantic comedy genre. It's a sad reflection of the lack of ability of film writers these days to think of any jokes other than sex-related vulgarities. It would be an even sadder reflection of the society if there are many people who do find these so-called jokes funny.
