Patrick Dempsey makes his full transition to romantic-comedy stardom in Made of Honor, flashing those winning dimples and twinkly baby blues to full fetching effect. The camera truly loves him, and his considerable affable charm calls to mind early Hugh Grant, winsome even in utter confusion. Dempsey plays Tom, a nice guy but a serial dater with a girlfriend in every zip code of New York; Michelle Monaghan is Hannah, Tom's BFF since college, who's decided she wants marriage and family. When she becomes unexpectedly engaged to Colin (Journeyman's Kevin McKidd, rather McDreamy himself), Tom realizes what the viewer's known all along--that Hannah is in fact his dream woman. It's When Harry Met Sally... meets My Best Friend's Wedding--but thankfully, Dempsey's Tom is far more sympathetic than Julia Roberts' snide schemer. The plot isn't exactly full of surprises, but the cast--and their amazing chemistry--are so winning that the film makes for the perfect date movie. Not only are all three leads charming in their own way, but the rich cinematography manages to make both Manhattan and the Scottish countryside look like glorious edens, one urban, one windswept. Monaghan is a revelation, quietly lovely as a young Carla Bruni, but with a flinty gumption that makes her all the more appealing. The supporting cast is rich, too, especially Sydney Pollack as Tom's serially marrying dad. (At his dad's fifth--or is it sixth?--wedding, Tom's new arm-candy "stepmom" gets tipsy and overly affectionate with guests as her new husband looks on fondly: "Ah... drunk as the night I first met her.") But at the core of the film are its big heart, and the connection between Tom and Hannah, deep and wide whether they end up just best friends or more. And the delight for viewers is knowing they'll be just as glowy either way.-- A.T. Hurley

Adorable movie Anything with Patrick Dempsey is wonderful! I enjoyed the movie, especially since my daughter just got married in August!
Buyer's beware (No Spanish -Latin- audio) First of all:
Very funny movie, we really enjoy this movie with my wife and daughter. The bad news for latin people:
The audio track listed as Spanish is in fact a Castillian track, the accent is from Spain. We had to listen in English with Spanish Subtitles. Bad for Sony.
Zero Stars Is More Like It This has to be the worse movie I've ever tried to watch in my life! I watched 30 minutes of this movie before I turned it off. Fortunately, I didn't purchase this DVD. I rented the movie on Pay per View. I wish I had read some reviews about how bad it was before I tuned in.
Fun to watch This movie was a lot of fun to watch and had some cute scenes and some good lines. The actors did a great job and of course were very easy to look at(HA! That has a lot to do with the profession as we know.) I totally enjoyed this romantic comedy.
