Made of Honor

This movie was one of those uncomfortable, generic romantic comedies where the protagonist behaves in a wholly creepy matter to ~~manipulate~~ win the love interest over at the end. The plot is pretty flimsy, the chemistry between the leads almost non-existent. Dempsey does a good job of being charming, but even that isn't enough to save this movie.

**The Good**: + Genuinely warm and lovely, _Made of Honor_ is a feel-good film that succeeds mostly thanks to **Patrick Dempsey** and **Michelle Monaghan**. + Dempsey proves he has great comedic timing and his chemistry with Monaghan sparkles in every scene. + Funny to see Dempsey's _Grey's Anatomy_ co-star **Kevin McKidd** compete for the same woman. + The warm atmosphere makes you happy and relaxed. + All performances are great, even if most of them outside of the main trio never reach full bloom. + Great soundtrack. + The humour is subtle and clever, making me laugh several times. **The Bad**: - Despite being Scottish, McKidd makes for a very awkward Scot. - The script is tried and tested and the twists predictable - there are thirteen in a dozen rom-coms like this one. - Some of the jokes are a bit too childish and focus on making fun of everything non-American. - The characterizations are somewhat one-sided and stereotypical. **Verdict**: Patrick Dempsey's comedic timing helps raise this generic rom-com to newer heights, strengthening the altogether warm and enjoyable atmosphere.
