A movie that's often enjoyable but never as good as the ones it's stealing from.

Reviews for Made of Honor
This is silly stuff, made of cardboard, with one of those Gordian-knot plots that could easily be cut through by one person's simply being honest with another person for 30 whole seconds. There's not much more to say.
05/02/08
Top CriticThe plot becomes very familiar -- not just like My Best Friend's Wedding, but like a mishmash of every romantic comedy ever written.
05/02/08
Another dreary and predictable romantic comedy centered around a wedding.
05/02/08
The single funniest joke in this entire derivative thing comes right at the very beginning when the opening credits reveal that one of the entities involved with its production is named "Original Films."
05/02/08
Director Paul Weiland and the film's screenwriters offer standard sitcom setups and forgettable supporting characters, in effect hanging the whole picture on Dempsey.
05/02/08
Do yourself a favor: Send 'regrets' to this affair, and rent My Best Friend's Wedding again.
05/02/08
Top CriticThe romantic comedy Made of Honor adds tart satirical flavors to a cotton-candy formula without sabotaging the sugar rush.
05/02/08
Top CriticThere was a certain amount of suspense in the air at the screening of Made of Honor: Would Tom and Hannah realize they're perfect for each other at the altar, or would I burn down the theater first?
05/02/08
Top CriticThe cinematic equivalent of a cookie-cutter wedding, Made of Honor ultimately feels a little depressing. Shouldn't any major event, from getting married to making a movie, inspire some hint of passion and creativity?
05/02/08
It’s hard to sympathize with characters who bear no resemblance to any existing member of the human species, although, as is typical with this kind of movie, the cast brings a commitment the material doesn’t deserve.
05/02/08
Made Of Honor is a pleasant surprise, funnier and smarter than one would expect.
05/02/08
An unabashed piece of Hollywood fluff garnished with spry slapstick and appealing actors.
05/02/08
Patrick Dempsey goes into charm overload in Made of Honor, to no avail.
05/02/08
Dempsey and Monaghan -- and the rest of the cast, for that matter -- give it their all, but it just isn't enough to lift this formulaic nonsense out of the stew of mediocrity in which it merely simmers from start to finish.
05/02/08
Patrick Dempsey and Michelle Monaghan make an agreeable pair in this above-average comedy, another go-round for the reliable premise of longtime pals awakening to each other romantically.
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
That the film can’t seem to keep a cohesive tone is an undeniable irritant, but somehow director Paul Weiland...manages to massage such endearing performances from a very capable cast that the bad patches feel more like unfortunate hitches.
05/02/08
Something didn't feel quite right, but it wasn't until the climax when it hit me...
05/02/08
Rarely rises above the hilarity level of Oh, How Cute.
