The film offers another riff on Dempsey's Grey's-enhanced romantic appeal. In Enchanted he dressed up as Prince Charming. Here he gets to ride to the rescue on a horse. Pleasant, predictable, rom-com diversion for the chick-flick droves. ...read the complete Made of Honor movie review at The Age
Music: Rupert Gregson-WilliamsColumbia Pictures Romantic comedies sell fantasy. Ultimately, that's their reason for being - to make even the most cynical heart crave true love. Some romantic comedies, this one included, fail because of an inability to co ...read the complete Made of Honor movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
Patrick Dempsey stars as the unabashedly raffish Manhattanite bachelor Tom.

Like a shopworn wedding gown disguised with a new sash, "Made of Honor" feels recycled from top to bottom.

Would the charming Patrick Dempsey ever become a Hollywood leading man?

The movie is no "Iron Man," but then again, it's not designed to be. "Made of Honor" is made to order for women or couples looking for an alternative to the comic-book adaptation and for a romcom with such obvious and memorable film forebears, it's still ...read the complete Made of Honor movie review at Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
