"Made of Honor"

This formulaic romantic comedy starring Patrick "McDreamy" Dempsey leaves us McCold.

But Does McDreamy Dance With Rupert Everett At The Reception?

So let me get this straight-this isn't a remake of "My Best Friend's Wedding?

Patrick Dempsey is 10 years older than Michelle Monaghan

We are supposed to believe they are best friends from college?

I'm so sick of this sexist crap from Hollywood.

This is one movie I will not be seeing.

McDreamy is a McStar of dim magnitude

"alledgedly gorgeous" and "supposedly good-looking"--yep, our Stephanie has nailed the overhyped overpraised "Dr. McDreamy" Dempsey. Even though I'm a guy, I can usually appreciate that the men most swooned over by hordes of female fans are in fact handsome, good-looking people--the Brad Pitts or George Clooneys of the world. But I never could understand the appeal of this Dempsey character. He's just not very attractive, seems to me. And more importantly, he's a lousy actor.

Of course even if the star of this movie were actually gorgeous and genuinely good-looking, it wouldn't help much, if Stephanie's take is correct. Sounds like one more boring, trite "comedy" which should have never got the green light.

Argh

I hardly ever wander over to the entertainment section of Salon with the intent to post, but I feel the need to add my voice to the chorus who are so completely sick of these inane, predictable, badly acted "romantic" "comedies".

I get angry just having to sit through the preview where I see all I need to see: the (always) rich playboy; the cutesy-charming (younger) female; the quirky sidekicks, and the oh-so-obvious conclusion. Sounds like this piece of garbage trotted out every cliche ever used.

Frankly, the actors here must be better than we give them credit for- there's no way I could utter any of that dialogue without wincing...

SeanPenn-lite

The first time i saw an episode of Grey's Anatomy, I mentioned to my wife something like: "that guy's the boring, conservative woman's Sean Penn". Neither of us have seen anything to make us doubt that since.
