Made of Honor Stumbles Down Aisle

Destined for the chick-flick oblivion guaranteed by opening on the same day as a superhero blockbuster, Made of Honor has critics expressing a range of emotions—from indifference to loathing. Most sink their teeth into the My Best Friend's Wedding-with-a-gender-switch angle and chomp down: "Unfortunately, the filmmakers add nothing new, funnier or more engaging," writes Bill Zwecker of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Desson Thomson of the Washington Post speculates that co-stars Patrick Dempsey (hot in the wake of Enchanted) and Michelle Monaghan (Gone Baby Gone) were "spirited away to a closed set and forced at gunpoint to participate in this movie." And Kyle Smith of the New York Post is in no mood; his review begins "Made of Honor is something old, it's something new, it's something borrowed and it's something that blows."
