Amazon.co.uk Review
Patrick Dempsey makes his full transition to rom-com 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 realises 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 umpteenth 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 Stills from Made of Honor (click for larger image)

 Love this!!! October 25, 2008
I thought this film was brilliant. I loved it at the cinema and couldn't wait to buy it on DVD. Of course it helps that the gorgeous Dr McDreamy from Grey's Anatomy is in it! The chemistry between the two actors makes you believe in them. Go and buy this film if you love a chick flick!
 Not Made of Honour October 24, 2008
I wont repeat the plot, but suffice to say it really isn't worth wasting time on.
I only rented it coz my wife was feeling rather ill and I couldn't find anything else that I didn't really want to watch and that was light.
Light it was - on laughs, on plot, on chemistry, on script.
The only time I laughed out loud was at a small bit of a slapstick comedy involving Dempsey and waiter.
Don't waste your time or money on this.
Instead watched Patrick Dempsey in 'Jeremiah' - a totally different film that is considerably better!
brilliant October 21, 2008
what a good film very funny you;l laugh most of the time during this film a must see patrick bloody gorjus :) hes a bad boy but he turns out good he found his princess but like all of us we kissed a lot of frogs to find out true love
Sorry to say this, but... October 12, 2008
...if you are thinking of getting this film to either fill up a rainy evening or because you can't get enough of Dr McDreamy, then think again. Offering you more stereotypes and embarrassing script moments than you could imagine, it really doesn't give a glittering example of what these actors are capable of.
I actually bought a copy, hoping I would be left with a wonderful feel-good film to keep for those occasions I needed cheering up, but instead ended up squirming when watching it. I'm now desperately trying to think of a reason to return it to the shop and swap it for something else...!
Music and Lyrics is a zillion times better - choose that one instead.
Nice and easy. September 22, 2008

Yes, loved this one, straightforward rom com with the added surpise of location shots around Skye & the West Coast of Scotland. Loved it!
