Made of Honor 2008

This movie was one of those uncomfortable, generic romantic comedies where the protagonist behaves in a wholly creepy matter to manipulate win the love interest over at the end. The plot is pretty flimsy, the chemistry between the leads almost non-existent. Dempsey does a good job of being charming, but even that isn't enough to save this movie.

this movie was fun!! same old story but Dempsey is charming

The Good:

• Genuinely warm and lovely, Made of Honor is a feel-good film that succeeds mostly thanks to Patrick Dempsey and Michelle Monaghan.
• Dempsey proves he has great comedic timing and his chemistry with Monaghan sparkles in every scene.
• Funny to see Dempsey's Grey's Anatomy co-star Kevin McKidd compete for the same woman.
• The warm atmosphere makes you happy and relaxed.
• All performances are great, even if most of them outside of the main trio never reach full bloom.
• Great soundtrack.
• The humour is subtle and clever, making me laugh several times.

The Bad:

• Despite being Scottish, McKidd makes for a very awkward Scot.
• The script is tried and tested and the twists predictable - there are thirteen in a dozen rom-coms like this one.
• Some of the jokes are a bit too childish and focus on making fun of everything non-American.
• The characterizations are somewhat one-sided and stereotypical.

Verdict:
Patrick Dempsey's comedic timing helps raise this generic rom-com to newer heights, strengthening the altogether warm and enjoyable atmosphere.

It's one of those romantic comedies that gets you lost into it. Dempsey's character had a full potential to be a jerk, but he was so likeable that surprised me.
