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 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 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

whooo what a stinker. I must admit i turned off before they go to Scotland which was probably a result for me. The plot appears to have been less written and more assembled from dozens of other boy meets girl boy loses girl films. The male lead was unlikeable, his mates the same - black best mate of course - and the premise that his mates would join in to do the other bloke down risible. Hard to guess who the target market is too since most blokes wouldn't find it all believable.

Oh dear - this is so formulaic it is embarrasing. It is not in the least funny and I am not too sure who it is aimed at - but, evidently, not me!

The well used Hollywood idea. Guy meets girl, doesn't realise she's the one until it's almost too late, but, in the end triumphs over adversity to win his one true love.
The different take is our hero (Patrick Dempsey) promises to be 'maid of honour' at his best friend's (Michelle Monaghan) wedding to the seemingly perfect guy (Kevin McKidd).
I really didn't like this film for the first 20 minutes and was just about to switch it off when it finally kicked in. For the remaining 70 minutes it's quite entertaining and manages to keep the suspense up right until the end, even tho' the ending is so obvious.
The Scottish angle is way overdone and there is some unnecessary smutty inuendo, otherwise 4 stars.

Brigadoon revisited!
Think of 'My best friend's wedding', 'The holiday' and 'Four weddings and a funeral', then add into the mix 'Brigadoon' and you just about have the idea. Read more
