Amazon.co.uk Review
Patrick Dempsey makes his full transition to rom-com 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 umpteenth 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

Synopsis
Patrick Dempsey (Grey's Anatomy) proves his charm extends beyond the role of McDreamy with this romantic comedy. A bride-to-be (Michelle Monaghan, The Heartbreak Kid) asks her best friend to be her maid of honour, but this film has a twist (or two): her best friend is a man (Dempsey), and he's secretly in love with her.

3.0 out of 5 stars undemanding fun, 9 Sep 2008
In a nutshell: playboy Tom Bailey (Dempsey) agrees to be Maid Of Honour at the wedding of his best friend Hannah (Monaghan) to Scottish hunk Colin (Kidd), in an attempt to win Hannah's heart, after realising that he loves her and doesn't want to lose her to another man.
I wasn't expecting much when I was dragged to see 'Made Of Honour' at the cinema, but I actually really enjoyed the first two-thirds of the movie (the part set in the States). The dialogue is very witty, and the film moves along at a fast pace...but it all goes downhill when the action moves to Scotland.
Now I know rom-coms are meant to be light and fluffy, but the film descends into cliche so rapidly that I spent the rest of the movie just inwardly groaning. It's all here...kilts, castles, Rabbie Burns, even the Highland Games! It's like the movie has somehow transformed from Sex And The City into Brigadoon! I suppose I should have anticipated the direction the movie was going during an earlier scene in which we find out that Colin has never heard of the game of basketball!
However, I'm not the target market for this type of movie: Made Of Honour is definitely 'one for the ladies' (apart from the thankfully gratuitous scene in which Tom accompanies Hannah when she goes to buy her wedding lingerie) and a perfect 'Sunday afternoon' movie for any rom-com fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars As Romantic Comedies Go, This One Has it Made, 16 Sep 2008
By Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
In college, Tom (Patrick Dempsey) was a lady's man. He slept with anyone who will have him. Sneaking into a room one night, he accidentally meets Hannah (Michelle Monaghan). Despite their less then great meeting, the two hit if off and become friends.

Flash forward 10 years, and little has changed. Tom spends every night with a different woman. And he spends all day hanging out with Hannah, who is now working for a museum. The two are close friends, but that is all.

Until one day when Hannah leaves on a six week trip to Scotland. It doesn't take Tom long to realize that he truly loves Hannah. In fact, the separation is killing him. He intends to act on his new found feelings as soon as she gets back.

But when Hannah returns, it is with Colin (Kevin McKidd) in tow. The two met in Scotland and are engaged. To further add to Tom's misery, Hannah asks him to be her maid of honor. Tom is reluctant, but decides he can break the wedding apart better from the inside. But with the ceremony only two weeks again, can Tom make Hannah fall for him?

So let's get the obvious out of the way first, the story is predictable. So, the movie is going to rise of fall based on how well everything else comes off.

And it comes off reasonably well. Hannah is likable from the start. I admit it took me a little while to warm up to Tom since I'm not a fan of cads. But as the movie progressed, I found it easy to root for him. In fact, I cared about the characters enough to get invested in the outcome.

And the story is funny. There are quite a few great moments that had me laughing, especially Tom's friends helping him learn how to be a maid of honor.

This movie is just an escapist romantic comedy. But that's all it wanted to be in the first place. If you keep that in mind going into it, you'll have a good time.
