What had been a charming if undaring story about two friends who might be able to fall in love stops trusting itself -- and stops trusting the audience to stick with it without being dragged along by the nostrils.
Another wedding-themed romantic comedy that fizzles when it should fizz.
[The film has been infused] with several increasingly uninteresting and flat-out superfluous sequences that'll test the patience of even the most ardent romcom aficionado.
If she lived in another movie, you'd almost feel sorry for Hannah (Michelle Monaghan). But she's trapped in the execrable Made of Honor, which insists that she behave nearly as inanely as her two suitors.
It's a delightful, audience-pleasing, fun-filled fairytale of laughter and love.
Made of Honour, as well as flaunting one of the most useless titular puns in the history of cinema, is rubbish.
Admittedly a difficult genre to keep fresh and original, Made of Honor doesn't even try for novelty. Why come up with something innovative when you can plagiarize older and better scripts?
Certainly ain't nothing to query about the tired premise, whose cinematic block we've been around and around and around since Garbo first talked.
It's offensive because it's so incredibly, almost supernaturally, stupid.
goes from dull to boring and then becomes actively annoying
Let's just say that glow-in-the-dark anal sex toy sight gags fail to conjure up a desired mood of friendly, good-natured fun.
Even its clichés -- including a dashing rescue on horseback -- are trotted out with bland indifference.
Top Criticthose seeking a more meaningful romantic comedy should probably just rent 'My Best Friend's Wedding' instead.
recycles tired clichés and settles on the easiest jokes
The tension between the leads is almost lost in the white noise of vindictive bridesmaids, fussy future in-laws and one too many dirty sex jokes, leading right up to the oh-so-predictable grand finale.
The movie, like its stars, is not without its charm. It just would have been nice to be delighted by an unexpected flash of humor or feel the slightest bit of suspense about the resolution.
...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.
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.
You may find it dreamy, or you may simply be asleep.
Made of Honor earns enough goodwill in a long, clever and sexy opening act to carry it through to an ending that we don't necessarily guess because it seems to lack enough of that last word in the title: 'honor.'
