Before I start blogging, let me just say that, yes, this IS another romantic comedy. When I started watching "Made of Honor," actually before I even removed it from the box, I was positive that it would be added to the list of my favorite movies (not that that list is such a hard list to get onto in the first place...). The plot, while extremely predicatable, was cute and funny. Tom (Patrick Dempsey) is a womanizer who has been best friends with Hannah (Michelle Monaghan) ever since he climbed in her bed by mistake in college. Years later, when Hannah goes to Scotland on business, she meets Colin (Kevin McKidd), and comes back engaged. It is then when Tom finally realizes that he wants to get married and settle down as well. When Hannah asks Tom to be her "maid of honor" (also known, apparently, as a "MOH"), he realizes that maybe (SPOILER ALERT) he should be standing somewhere else on the altar, like beside Hannah.

I enjoyed the New York City scenery that the film had to offer. The quick pace mirrored the pace of Tom's life, such as the romance between Hannah and Colin, which happened so quickly. Another aspect of the movie that I liked was the connection between the beginning of the movie and the end. The two events brought the plot full circle, and provided for a sweet and funny moment. Overall, I would recommend this film. While it's not the best that I have seen, it's a funny, light-hearted romantic comedy (yay!) and Patrick Dempsey isn't bad looking either.
