Summary
RATING: PG-13 for some intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence, and brief suggestive content
Starring Patrick Dempsey, Michelle Monaghan, Kevin McKidd, Kathleen Quinlan, and Sydney Pollack
For Tom, life is good: He's sexy and successful, has great luck with the ladies, and knows he can always rely on Hannah, his delightful best friend and the one constant in his life. It's the perfect setup until Hannah goes overseas to Scotland on a six-week business trip...and Tom is stunned to realize how empty his life is without her. He resolves that when Hannah gets back, he'll ask her to marry him. He's floored when he learns that she has become engaged to a handsome and wealthy Scotsman and plans to move overseas. When Hannah asks Tom to be her "maid" of honor, he reluctantly agrees to fill the role, but only so he can attempt to woo Hannah and stop the wedding before it's too late. (Sony Pictures)

Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
A nice cookie-cutter comedy, no more and no less, but Dempsey, with his relaxed charm, and Monaghan, with her soft and peachy sensual spark, rise to the challenge of making friendship look like the wellspring of true love.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen
Has something a bit edgier in mind than the usual, soft-focused wedding bell high jinks. For the most part, that's exactly what it delivers -- an amusing, smartly cast romantic comedy told from a guy's perspective.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Inquirer Steven Rea
The film is just middling. A clever line here and there, a debonair Dempsey wink, a cute Monaghan nod, and another Bill and Monica reference to tie things all together.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader J.R. Jones
Patrick Dempsey and Michelle Monaghan make an agreeable pair in this above-average comedy.
Read Full Review >USA Today Claudia Puig
Made of Honor has some funny moments, and it keeps your attention, but it's certainly not worth rushing out to the multiplex and paying top dollar for. Catch it on TV on a lazy afternoon with little else to do.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Stephen Holden
Made of Honor retains enough sweetness to satisfy the cotton-candy addicts. For true believers in fairy tales, no romantic fantasy is too extravagant if the heroine is a sweetheart. The rest of us can sit there and roll our eyes.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Keith Phipps
What do you call it when someone pulls a gender reversal on someone else's movie? If that movie is "My Best Friend's Wedding," you call it Made Of Honor.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan
If you're in the mood for seeing a Lothario humbled by true love, you're in luck. You may wish, however, that Made of Honor had given its stars something more of interest to occupy their time. And ours.
Read Full Review >Christian Science Monitor Peter Rainer
The only surprise to me about this movie is that there no jokes about kilts – a serious omission in an otherwise entirely predictable farce.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold
Dempsey also needs some fashion advice. As always, he sports his trademark five o'clock shadow in every scene (which in itself is excessive). But with Dempsey at age 42, it's beginning to make his face look more sinister than sexy, less Dr. McDreamy, more Richard Nixon.
Read Full Review >Variety Lael Loewenstein
Like a shopworn wedding gown disguised with a new sash, Made of Honor feels recycled from top to bottom. That's because it's essentially a gender-swapped version of "My Best Friend's Wedding."
Read Full Review >Empire Anna Smith
A strong opening, bursting with wit and vigour, gives way to a predictable, patronising and immensely lazy second half. Could have been so much more.
Read Full Review >Salon.com Stephanie Zacharek
There's no energy, no spark, in Made of Honor. Even its clichés -- including a dashing rescue on horseback -- are trotted out with bland indifference.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
The cinematic equivalent of a cookie-cutter wedding, Made of Honor ultimately feels a little depressing.
Read Full Review >The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Rick Groen
Made of Honor should come with a bar code and a Wal-Mart display - this isn't a movie, it's a commodity. The generic brand is the romantic comedy, and the manufacturer's material of choice is recycled plastic, smoothly glued together to assure the consumer that the purchase is risk-free and thoroughly predictable.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Ty Burr
In Made of Honor, the leads are beautiful and everyone else is a freak. So where does that leave us?
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips
Dempsey's pleasant enough, but he hasn't yet learned how to play against a mediocre script's obviousness. Monaghan has, which is gratifying.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Desson Thomson
At its worst (and this is where Made of Honor comes in), it can leave you with a bad taste, not just in your mouth but in your soul.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Robert Wilonsky
Director Paul Weiland and the three (!) screenwriters it took to boil down thousands of bad movies into 101 minutes haven't provided this one with a single original thought; it should only entertain those still getting adjusted to the idea of talkies.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Kimberley Jones
What this really comes down to is the film's central lie. Made of Honor pins its hopes on a character who acts utterly without honor, and on an actor who has only two settings – sensitive or smarmy. The smarm wins.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle
This is a story that should have been, at the absolute most, 20 minutes long.
Read Full Review >New York Post Kyle Smith
It's something old, it's something new, it's something borrowed and it's something that blows.

b Wilby gave it a7:
This is why scores never really show how good a film is. Its not one you'll enjoy if your being stuck up, or watching alone. Its a chick flick that i enjoyed to watch with my girlfriend! It was fun and predictable, exactly what you want when trying to relax. Although he starts unpleasant the main character slowly seems to change and becomes a nicer character. All in all it was fun i don't know where all the complaints come from.
Capo Regime gave it a3:
Too generic, same old same old romantic comedy. What made this apart from being one of the worst movie are the characters of Michelle and Patrick.
Ashley P. gave it a2:
Formulaic and not all that funny. The only saving grace is that up until the end, Michelle Monghan makes a fairly likeable character and has agreeable chemistry with Patrick Dempsay. Completely predictable though.
Rose S. gave it a0:
Predictable, bland, and we are expected to root for the cad who flaunts the fact that he chases every woman he sees. And Hannah cheats on Colin with Tom and we're still supposed to care about what happens to her? I didn't. What creeps.
Conrad G. gave it a0:
Completely unfunny and non-entertaining from start to finish. Word.
Jay H. gave it a6:
Predictable but cute, I think the reviews are a bit harsh. Michelle Monaghan is charming, but Patrick Dempsey as some irresistible stud is a bit far fetched. Funny and enjoyable.
Mark C. gave it a0:
To make money and get cheap ignorant laughs from tired, old, ugly, and FALSE stereotypes about gay people is not admirable. It's the opposite of that. A boring, senseless, pointless, ignorant movie. Minutes wasted.
