Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: 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

Average Rating: 
Rating: - MADE OF HOMOR
THIS MOVIE WAS EXCELLENT. IT NOT ONLY WAS REALLY FUNNY BUT A GOOD LOVE STORY.
Rating: - Great Movie, Great Fun
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...
Rating: - Great date movie!
I can't believe all the low ratings for this movie! I liked it...it's not super original and it's very predictable but hey, it's a date movie. There's some funny moments and yes, it's a basic rehash of "My Best Friend's Wedding" but I think "Made of Honor" is better. I didn't really like "My Best Friend's Wedding" mainly because I didn't really like Julia Robert's character and there really wasn't any chemistry between her and her male co-star. I am a Dempsey fan (loved him in "Enchanted"...) and ... Read More
Rating: - DOESN'T WORK IN SAMSUNG PLAYERS
I have the newest firmware and a Samsung P1500 - will not load. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! Every other disc I have tried works. I wish I could call sony and demand my money back, but as we all know you can't return DVD's - (or blu-rays).
Rating: - I'm a little surprised by the many positive reviews of the movie here on Amazon
because I thought women these days had gotten a firm grip on their sense of self-respect. Apparently some fell through the cracks, and they got a hold of 'Made of Honor'. Talk about every conceivable chick flick cliche heaped on from the get-go. To its credit Patrick Dempsey is a likable character and the Scottish countryside was pretty to look at. That's about it - the rest of the movie is shameless fodder for idiots.
