Review: Made of Honor



I hate to be the bearer of bad news and I know the twins were heart-broken when I said this, but it's true: Patrick Dempsey is old. And he's not aging too gracefully, if you know what I mean. In his new romantic 'comedy' "Made of Horror", I mean "Honor", Dempsey(pictured below) plays Tom, the 30-something 'ladies' man' about New York City that seems to have aged badly since college. His best friend, Hannah, is the only girl he's never slept with, although there's a little bit of a glint in both their eyes that they'd like to change that. Hannah's work calls her off to Scotland for six weeks, and renders her cell phone useless. During that time, Tom realizes he's in love with her and plans to tell her when she gets home. The only thing standing in the way of that is Hannah's new rich royal hunk of a fiancee, Colin. Since Hannah made him her MOH (guess what that stands for), Tom uses that power to the best of his ability to prove to Hannah that she's marrying the wrong guy. Mediocre writing and bad acting make this movie pointless, although there is a character that has a certain Victoria-like charm to her. The plot is predictable and the jokes are lame, so unless you're too swept off your feet by "McDreamy" to pay any attention to anything he says or does, you're going to be bored for the about the next two hours. The best parts of this movie were the previews and the Twizzlers consumed while sitting through this crap. Sorry, D+D, Daphne's just not with you on this one.......
