My Other Best Friend’s Wedding

  • Title: Made of Honor
  • IMDB: link

“I want you to be my maid of honor.”
 
made-of-honor-poster

After realizing he loves his best friend, Tom (Patrick Dempsey) decides to pledge his love.  The only trouble is Hannah (Michelle Monaghan) has just gotten engaged to a Scottish noble (Kevin McKidd) and has asked Tom to be her maid of honor.  Of course he accepts (leading to mayhem) and tries to win her for himself (leading to mischief).

What follows is exactly what you’d expect.  Tom struggles with his duties as maid of honor and his inability to stop the wedding and tell Hannah his true feelings.

Although the film isn’t awful, it lacks any spark or reason for us to care about these people.  Hannah doesn’t seem better off with Tom or Colin than she would be on her own.  And Tom’s sudden need to express his feelings reeks more of desperation than true love.

Monaghan and Dempsey are fine in the leads, but they come off more as good friends than characters who the audience should be rooting to get together.
