    Dempsey's pleasant enough, but he hasn't yet learned how to play against a mediocre script's obviousness. Monaghan has, which is gratifying.

    In Made of Honor, the leads are beautiful and everyone else is a freak. So where does that leave us?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This is a story that should have been, at the absolute most, 20 minutes long.

    It's something old, it's something new, it's something borrowed and it's something that blows.

    By-the-numbers material about a closeted, currently-in-denial homosexual man (my opinion only and not necessarily that of the film) named Tom who decides to selfishly destroy the upcoming wedding of his friend because he decides at the last second that he wants her all to himself. All the "chick flick" cliches are in place and quite dull to behold. Wait... why am I even reviewing this???… Full Review »

    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.… Full Review »

    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.
