"Made of Honor" is a terrible romantic comedy, and heaven knows I don't go into romantic comedies with high expectations. The best I can usually hope for is a few funny lines, some charming performances, maybe a slight twist on the usual formula. "Made of Honor" fails in each of those categories, and then some. "Made of Honor" is made of failure.

Loved your review Eric. I did not see the movie and don't plan on it. When I saw in the previews that he had to ride a horse to break up the wedding at the last minute, I knew this would be horrible. I love the part in your review when you talk about the reason she dumped he fiance (even though you didn't want to spoil it by saying she might or might not have). Not being willing to share his desserts with her is not a good reason, lol. Is that really what they wanted us to believe? There is no reason for a movie like this to have a spoiler warning. Just by seeing the full trailer in the movie theatre will spoil the entire movie for anyone who has seen a romantic "comedy" before.

Is it wrong that I'm glad their was a horrible movie for you to review?

But ERIC! People worked hard on that movie! I'm sure if you realized that, you would NEVER have said those mean things about it.

I'm glad scientist have confirmed my theory that Dermot Mulroney, Patrick Dempsey, and Dylan McDermott, are all the same person.

I have to admit, even though I am someone who usually ignores what you say about romantic comedies and enjoys the genre immensely, I agree with your review. I saw it this weekend only because a friend really wanted to see it. My Best Friend's Wedding was much better.

Rumors that I am Dylan McDermott have been greatly exaggerated.

My Best Friend's Wedding is the only romantic comedy/chick flick I can stand watching. The premise of this movie is personally offensive to me. I believe the only reason I like MBFW as much as I do is because of the ending.

Just because scientists have never seen Dermot Mulroney and me in the same room at the same time doesn't necessarily mean we're the same person. It's like The Parent Trap, people.
