Although the film seems very proud of its clever gender bending "twist," there's really nothing fresh about Made of Honor. It's a one-gag movie that wears out its gag well before the halfway mark.

Reviews for Made of Honor
Best friend takes his first wife.

If Grey's Anatomy heartthrob Patrick Dempsey is to ever fulfill his long-standing ambition of becoming an A-list Hollywood movie star, he's going to have to make much better choices of material than the annoying romantic comedy, Made of Honor.
05/01/08
A prefabricated example of shoddy workmanship.
06/10/08
Top CriticA derivative yawner.
10/01/08
A film to leave at the altar.

Made Of Honor is a pleasant surprise, funnier and smarter than one would expect.
05/02/08
The fact that this is not in any way original isn't really much of a problem. The fact that it's completely awful is.
05/05/08
Comic desperation can be seen at alarmingly frequent intervals.
05/07/08
Another dreary and predictable romantic comedy centered around a wedding.
05/02/08
Made of Honor is a retread -- My Best Friend's Wedding with the genders reversed and the brains removed. Chick flicks this calculated should come with enough Scorpion Bowls to numb the pain.
05/02/08
Top CriticExaggerating the genre cliches is a joke the audience can share; deriding their belief in romance, the genre's sacred trust, is not.

Not much distinguishes this determinedly average Hollywood outing, but it can claim Sydney Pollack's final performance and Patrick Dempsey's first big-screen starring role since his career second-wind...

The only thing that McDreamy proves with this film is that while he probably knows Julia Roberts and has met Julia Roberts, he's no Julia Roberts.
05/02/08
goes from dull to boring and then becomes actively annoying
05/01/08
...gets almost everything wrong, from resisting "Best Friend's" resistance to a too neat 'happily ever after' wrap to ickily lewd comedy over the romantic variety.
05/01/08
While it's slickly made and just about charming enough to keep us engaged, there's not much that's fresh or new in this formulaic rom-com.
05/01/08
Made of Honor is like a paint-by-the numbers exercise in filmmaking, sealed with a misogynistic lacquer.
05/07/08
I know Julia Roberts, and you, Patrick Dempsey, are no Julia Roberts
05/05/08
Does anyone ever demand a refund for a romantic comedy that looks awfully familiar? Let's hope not, or the folks behind Made of Honor will have to do some serious reimbursement.
