Made of Honour
Posted By Mary Dane on August 28, 2008
Columbia Pictures’ Made of Honour is yet another film that I knew would never make it out of any anti-chick flick’s bloody criticisms. I couldn’t have forgiven the plot’s ordinariness and unoriginality if it’s not for Patrick Dempsey’s swoon-over materiality (because that one is no ordinary ^_^).
The movie isn’t really something that completely makes no sense, rather it could leave a mark in chick flick history for its first ever idea of a guy “maid” of honour. I guess that’s what brought diversity on it. The rest however is monochromatic.
Tom (Patrick Dempsey) and Hannah (Michelle Monaghan) are two people who don’t seem to have anything in common except that they are each other’s bestfriend for 10 years. Tom is a wealthy womanizer who lives by the rules that keeps him untied to any woman he sleeps with while Hannah is always a woman who believes in true love and a lasting relationship. While Hannah is away to Scotland on a job assignment, Tom felt something’s missing in his life. Just when he realized he is done with the sleeping around and made himself ready to tell Hannah how he feels about their relationship, she came home to surprise him that she’s getting married in two weeks. What’s worse is her appointing him to be her Maid of Honour. Not wanting to disappoint his best friend, Tom not only finds himself subjected to an emotional torment of watching the woman he loves marry another guy but also in a whole stupid idea of being a Maid of Honor where he is always mistaken as gay.
The common idea that the movie stresses is that old “overlooking of love when it’s right in front of you”. I’m not a hopeless romantic and don’t even believe that such ideals in love exists in reality but I don’t find it sickening though watching same old storylines especially when it’s on a guy’s perspective. Somehow it amuses me when I see it’s the guy that is after the love of a girl because it is usually the other way around. It’s a 7-out-of-10 for me.:)
Haven’t since this movie yet, but i think Patrick’s Enchanted film was much better. He OWND on that film.

funny movie, i presume
i didn’t have any idea that a guy can be a bride’s ‘maid of honor’.. he he he.
but anyways, you’re right. these days, it’s rare to see a guy running after a girL’s Love.. nowadays, i beLieve girLs have adapted themseLves more to modernity that they become more aggressive than guys (at Least for some FiLipino women.. because there are stiLL gaLs who stiLL foLLow our cuLture – the demure thing, etc..).
i wouLd Love to see the movie myseLf, though

Hiya, i have seen your site when searching a few weeks ago and i really love the design! I just bought a new 3 character domain (cost me a packet) for a niche review blog, and i was wondering if your design is a free or paid one? I’m new to Wordpress and about to set it up, and i would really like to get something with a similar look to yours. Any ideas where i could download or buy something similar? Thanks for your help!
