mleighs-88269 I remember having watched this movie when it was released... I just didn't remember that I hated it till today when I re-watched it. There was nothing redeemable in this film whatsoever. Storyline - predictable at best, cast-forced chemistry if even, has the film-maker ever been to Scotland? I mean seriously? I read one review or message board thread about the movie being 'offensive to Scotland' and to that I can only say; in order for you to offend me I have to first care what you think....... there was no way this movie was taken seriously as a representation of Scotland and in that way cannot be offensive-let it be a comedy of stupidity on the part of the creators and we'll all laugh AT them not WITH them. And Patrick Dempsey is excellent at playing the a$$hole, he nails it- nothing is ever his fault,it's all about him, make sure he gets what he wants all the time-he plays it so well it's hard to ever look at him without feeling disgusted, like he must be like that in real life and be so self-absorbed he doesn't even realize what an dick he is....... I refuse to believe that is true OMG..... I just finished watching this and feel like I'm about to barf. So incredibly stupid and if I wasn't convalescing I would never have bothered...HATE, yes, I'm using the word HATE about this movie...... HATE very strongly......

Desertman84 Made of Honor is a romantic comedy film that stars Patrick Dempsey and Michelle Monaghan together with Kevin McKidd,Kathleen Quinlan and Sydney Pollack in his last film role.The story was about a handsome and successful bachelor is taken aback when his dream girl asks him to be the "maid" of honor in her upcoming wedding. The screenplay was written by Adam Sztykiel,Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont.It was directed by Paul Weiland. Tom and Hannah have been best friends for years. Though all the hard times, Hannah has been the one constant in Tom's life, and the one person he knows he can always rely on. When Hannah leaves for a six-week business trip in Scotland, Tom is surprised to realize how truly lonely he is without her. Life just isn't the same without Hannah around, so the moment she returns, Tom resolves to ask for her hand in marriage. But apparently Hannah's trip wasn't all business, because upon returning home Hannah announces that she has gotten engaged to a dashing Scotsman and will soon be starting a new life overseas. She's convinced that Tom will be thrilled for her, and wants him to play a crucial role in the wedding. His spirits crushed but his love for Hannah stronger than ever before, Tom reluctantly agrees to be the "maid" of honor so that he can prove his love in no uncertain terms and convince her to call off the wedding before true happiness slips through his fingers.Too bad that there is nothing original about Made of Honor.It is something that we have already seen many times in a romantic comedy that it has become a very tired and familiar love story.It has a plot that's recycled, inane, and unbelievable.And lastly,a preposterously lazy finale.What's worse,the good performances of the leads - Dempsey and Monaghan can't save this forgettable and formulaic film from its comic failings.

dodson09 The theme of the movie Made of Honor is portraying that finding true love is not always right there in front of you, sometimes you have to fight for what you want. Finding true love is an obstacle for anyone but for Tom there are many things that try to get in his way but he doesn't let it. This movie shows you different ways that you can show affection and make best friends in the process.The story begins when two friends, Hannah and Tom, meet back up since they had graduated from high school. They get to know each other again and decide to remain best friends. After having dinner, they go out more often doing casual things such as going to the grocery store, getting flowers and shopping, but Hannah does all this knowing that Tom has a problem with commitment when it comes to the ladies. During all this time that Hannah spends with Tom she starts to develop feelings for him.As Hannah goes on a trip for her job in England, she meets a guy named Colin, who she falls madly in love with. When Tom goes to meet Hannah at the airport, thinking that he is going to get to tell her how much he loves her, she brings Colin to meet him and all her family. Tom doesn't know what to feel at this point in time. He knows that the chance of him ever getting to let her know how he really feels about her has just gone away. But he knows that for her sake he better put a fake smile on that face and be happy for her.Tom then decides that he needs to find out more about Colin, so he invites him to play a game of basketball with him and his buddies. Colin doesn't have very good luck at the game of basketball until he decides that he needs to show these guys how to play a real game. Colin then starts shooting slam dunks and shocking Tom and all the guys. During the game, Tom comes to the realization that Colin really does love Hannah and as long as she is happy that is all that matters. Hannah then wants Tom to be her Made of Honor. Tom doesn't know what to think but how in the world could he say no, this would be the perfect chance to spend more time with her and be right there for whatever she might need. Then, one of the bridesmaids that Hannah picks has to be one of the girls that Tom had a one night stand with so this should be quite the obstacle. After helping Hannah with all the wedding stuff, Tom goes to England where the wedding is going to be held at. He had already decided that he would never get to be with Hannah so he jumps in the bed with one of the bridesmaids and what do you know if Hannah didn't catch him with her while she was coming to tell Tom that she loved him too.Now Tom knew that it was over between Hannah and him and that there definitely would be no chance since Hannah had just seen his true colors. Tom decides to leave but with the good advice of Hannah's mother and all his friends he turns around and heads to the wedding, hoping that it's not too late. Tom jumps on a horse and rides away to go to the church. By the time that Tom makes it they hadn't said I do yet, so he rushes in and says "Hannah you can't do this", Tom is shaken up a bit by the drastic entrance he had made to the church, so when Hannah said "Tom are you okay?" He knew that she really still did care. Tom rises up and they both kissed. Tom and Hannah lived happily ever after. Even though Tom had a hard time fighting for his true love they both knew what each other wanted the whole time.A movie that portrays the same theme as Made of Honor is The Notebook. Made of Honor portrayed several different techniques such as camera angles and a zoom lens. These two techniques were used in two different scenes. The camera angle that was used is the high-angle shot. This is when the camera is shot high above eye level. This was done when the scene of England started. To get the full affect of the country, the camera angle had to be high enough to catch the full view. The other technique that was used is the zoom lens. This is when a series of lenses that keep an image in constant focus. This took place when Hannah was getting ready for her wedding. The camera just stopped on her so that the audience could see exactly what is portrayed as an England Wedding.

phd_travel This is an attractively filmed romantic comedy. The Scottish locations are pretty. Monaghan isn't the prettiest actress - sometimes her face looks a bit pig like like a younger Marcia Gay Harden but she's a competent actress. Patrick Dempsey is looking a bit haggard for the role. He's a bit old for this romantic comedy genre. One annoying part of the story - why did she break up with the Scottish fiancé - just cause he won't let her take food from her plate? Trivial. Why her mother prefers Patrick Dempsey is a mystery too.Watch it if you don't have anything else to see but it's not a must see.
