Made of Honor (2008)

Director: Paul Weiland

Starring: Patrick Dempsey, Michelle Monaghan, Kevin McKidd, Sydney Pollack

A guy in love with an engaged woman tries to win her over after she asks him to be her maid of honor.

There’s a reason why I don’t like American comedies: they’re American! They’re cheesy and predictable. The chemistry between Dempsey and Monaghan made it worth the watch. As the film progressed, though, it got more and more unreasonable and rather silly. The filmmakers expected the audience to prefer Tom (Dempsey) and Hannah (Monaghan) to get together, but why should I? Why would I prefer her to marry casanova Tom? He’s been her best friend for 10 years with no interest whatsoever of getting involved with her. Why should I root for him now? Especially now that she’s found the perfect man in Colin (McKidd). He has the looks, the charm, the title, the money and the donkey kong dick – why shouldn’t I prefer him over Tom. No reason is given why he is not good enough for her. He is faithful, loving and caring. The ending was so utterly stupid and predictably American. Tom’s final speech was…well, yawn! You honestly expect me to fall for this ending???
