Made of Honor: Two Thumbs Up


I was actually trying to find a cheap Globe Retailer Sim and my feet happens to put me in the South Wing of SM. It was so boring, tiring, starving, walking all alone at a very vast mall and so I just decided to take a rest and catch a movie now that I am staring at a flashing cinema details. I can't watch Incredible Hulk, there's just no way because it's too unrealistic, Get Smart with Anne Hathaway and Steve Carell is interesting but it's 70pesos so I cant buy a snack then. Kung Fu Panda is too childish although its not bad to be childish at some point in your life but the fact that it's 70pesos and I dont adore watching animations in wide screen since my last animated film watched on cinema was Finding Nemo..haha ( 4 years ago). So I was left with Made of Honor a love story starring Patrick Dempsey and Michelle Monaghan. I like Patrick Dempsey because of Grey's Anatomy and Enchanted and Michelle because I think she's the sister of Bridget Monaghan and what's interesting is that it's only 55pesos. Oh my God'...its a perfect package, with an extra 80 pesos in my wallet, I had the luxury of having a snack and a movie all at once.

The movie started very usual, the ingredient of all love story I think is connection and I think that was achieved during the first part. It's actually a story of Tom(Patrick Dempsey) and Hanah(Michelle Monaghan) who happens to be bestfriends and one day Hannah went to Scotland and when she arrived she was engaged to a Scottish man and she invited Tom to be her Maid of Honor. It's a very simple story but its was presented with rich moments althought it may seem pretty predictable however with a great script, great director and great actors, a movie may it be predictable it would
always be memorable and I think Made of Honor is one of those few Hollywood Romantic Movies who has the right blend of comedy, drama, and romance. It's not surprising that it left some ladies, students, and people sitting to beside me even I to drop a tear because of it's catching romantically emotional moments. I think as an aspiring filmmaker someday, It's nice to acquaint yourself in films who could influence you to draw emotions and target an audience. For those of you who haven't seen it yet, be sure to catch it on your nearest cinema's, you surely will enjoy.
