Review: Made of Honor
OK, so I have been looking forward to seeing this movie for a long time. I think that was my first mistake; I was getting my hopes up too high. Needless to say I’m a big fan of Patrick Dempsey (or should I say, McDreamy) but besides that, I honestly thought this looked like a really good chick flick… it wasn’t.
Plot summary from imdb.com:
Made of Honor revolves around Tom and Hannah, who have been platonic friends for 10 years. He’s a serial dater, while she wants marriage but hasn’t found Mr. Right. Just as Tom is starting to think that he is relationship material after all, Hannah gets engaged. When she asks Tom to be her “maid” of honor, he reluctantly agrees just so he can attempt to stop the wedding and woo her.
It started out pretty good. I liked the “best friend” relationship between Tom (Patrick Dempsey) and Hannah (Michelle Monaghan), but then when they threw in the whole ‘I fell in love with some guy from Scotland’ plot line, it completely fell apart for me. I hated everything about the Scotland themed parts and it just took a movie that had great potential and dragged it down. It was very unbelievable and I felt like it didn’t go with the original theme of the movie. It’s like they were trying so hard not to be My Best Friend’s Wedding that they ruined what could have been a great chick flick.
Also, I didn’t really like the characters that much. I think I liked Patrick Dempsey’s character but I’m not sure if I actually liked the character or I just liked the fact that it was Patrick Dempsey…
I will say that there were some cute parts so it wasn’t a complete waste of time. Plus, a lot of the music in the movie was really good. I guess overall I would say It was alright, but I probably wouldn’t watch it again.
My Rating:
