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 realizes 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

 Likeable Romantic Comedy May 3, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I saw this movie in the movie theater and was pleasantly surprised with how delightful it was. The theater was packed and by the end of the movie everyone was smiling and happy as the film leaves one with a very good feeling inside. It is unusual for a Romantic Comedy as the story centers around the guy more than the girl. However, this gives it all a fresh take on things. The scenes in Scotland are absolutley breathtaking. I definitely recommend it. It is great for a girls night out and a wonderful date night movie.
Great Movie, Great Fun October 7, 2008

I watched this reluctantly at the insistence of my friend. As I sat with my arms folded in protest, I found myself more and more laughing and ultimately rooting for the characters' relationship, as well as the male lead. Side characters are funny as well...some forced moments, but overall fun. Unfold your arms and give it a shot...

Best Chick Flick I've Seen All Year October 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Maid of Honor is the story of Tom (played by Patrick Dempsey) and Hannah (played by Michelle Monaghan), two strangers that accidentally meet at college one night, and develop a lasting friendship. During a trip to Europe, Hannah gets engaged to Duke Colin McMurray (played by Kevin McKidd). It is here that the story takes off.
Having seen my share of lackluster chick flicks this year, I was prepared for another forgettable film. But Maid of Honor surpassed my expectations. In fact, I think it is the best chick flick i have seen all year.
The chemistry between Tom and Hannah was excellent, and I found myself truly caring if they got back together. The movie also had some good funny moments, especially the "guy parts" - namely, the basketball scenes.
The script was very original, and Maid of Honor blew by in an instant. The film was very well-paced.
So, I would say that this is a must watch in a sea of chick films that are not. Maid of Honor is a love story that you just may love to watch again.
