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.

Reviews for Made of Honor
It remains a mystery why viewers -- particularly female ones -- continue to flock to wedding movies, particularly ones that paint all women as despicable, pathetic and/or man-hungry.
05/01/08
Overly familiar and predictable. Its debts to both When Harry Met Sally and My Best Friend's Wedding are considerable.
05/01/08
Made of Honor is the kind of formulaic fare -- there's even that turn-the-car-around-and-get-me-back-to-the-church moment -- that depends on the wit of the script and the spark of its stars. In those departments, the film is just middling.
05/01/08
It's touching work that makes Dempsey's plastic sincerity look as thin as the film's posters.
05/01/08
The plotting ranges from predictable to ridiculous and with the exception of a handful of laugh-out-loud moments, Dempsey's frequent shirtlessness is the film's main appeal. The rest is as unpalatable as stale wedding cake.
05/01/08
Not good, not bad, just there, the film faithfully crosses off one timeworn cliché after the next.
05/01/08
Certain formula-driven romantic comedies reach a point where the audience realizes it won't be much fun watching the main character get his way. Nor will it be much fun watching him get his comeuppance. This is not where you want your audience.

Top CriticAt its best, a romantic comedy celebrates one of humanity's greatest yearnings: to give and to find the love of a lifetime. At its worst (and this is where Made of Honor comes in), it can leave you with a bad taste, not just in your mouth but in your soul
05/01/08
Top CriticMovies like this make Cupid want to change careers.
05/01/08
A film so dreadful and humiliating that it's reassuring to know Dempsey can keep his day job.
05/01/08
How you feel about Made of Honor depends on how you feel about Dempsey. If you like Grey's Dr. McDreamy, you'll like Tom and the movie. If not? There are plenty of other nondescript romantic comedies out there from which to choose.
05/01/08
The cinematic equivalent of the Bush administration.
05/01/08
Would the charming Patrick Dempsey ever become a Hollywood leading man? Too bad that his rare above the title billing is in such a disappointingly retro formula that recycles not only My Best Friend's Wedding but countless of other romantic comedies.
05/01/08
Like a shopworn wedding gown disguised with a new sash, Made of Honor feels recycled from top to bottom. That's because it's essentially a gender-swapped version of My Best Friend's Wedding.
05/01/08
Top CriticThis is an enjoyable romcom enlivened by strong performances from Dempsey and Monaghan.
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
The dialogue can be summarized thusly: Hannah's female friends go, "Awww!" 'Eeeeee!' and 'Oooooh!' And Tom's friends say things such as, 'Any time is the right time to say I love you!' You'll be ready to retch even before Act 2.
04/30/08
Romcom is charming but formulaic; some iffy stuff.
04/30/08
The script can veer from mean-spirited to uncomfortably blue.
