Made of Honor negative reviews
I have never been successful at getting my hubby to watch chick flicks with me. If we do watch movies, it would have to be either comedy, epic, kung fu, sci-fi, or action-filled. I do not mind really as I do watch anything as long as I can be entertained. So it was surprising that he downloaded Made of Honor so we could watch it. More baffling is the fact that he actually liked it. Nothing more romantic than watching a chick flick with your man so into it.
Despite what my hubby and I think of it, every review I have come across seem to hate it and all it represents. As if they had a certain loyalty to My Best Friend’s Wedding, that liking anything slightly similar is blasphemous. But Made of Honor is not a remake. Hardly. If you really sit down and try to get yourself to enjoy it, you will realize that it can actually be the prequel. Julia Robert’s movie tells about stealing your best friend from his fiancee. Patrick Dempsey on the other hand takes you through the journey of falling in love with your best friend.
So I really cannot understand why many do not like this movie. Its funny, romantic, and actually heart-warming. Although it does have that same – oh my I will never do that in real life – factor, I love how the movie displays the activities that bring Patrick and Michelle closer to each other. The passion for coffee, animal welfare, sweets and insufferable family gatherings. I love how they fall in line just to get their favorite dessert and amuse themselves by coming up with all sorts of flavors they wanted to get. I was gushing and blushing and awww-ing all through out the movie.
I read that many did not like the movie because they could not believe several things about the plot. The first is how Michelle can marry someone she just met just because the sex was great. Uhmm… Hell-ow! It happens in real life trust me (that’s another story) so why not in movies? People are allowed to be stupid after all.
The second thing that many cannot believe is how Michelle can fall in love with Patrick who is a ladies man, shallow and extremely selfish. How can Michelle fall in love with someone who took her for granted for years? Now personally, I can relate to that and I think I know far too many people who have been through that same thing (some successful and some weren’t). So why will it cause many to think negatively of the film just because it depicts such a harsh reality? Oooh I know! Bitter! Hehe. Kidding.
But yeah, if you happen to be happy, secure and not the least bit emotional and are interested in bringing back that tickly, tingly feeling of awkward courtship then watch Made of Honor. You will love it… did I mention Patrick is sooo adorable?
I have watched it. It didn’t moved me that much but love stories always tickle me….as long as you are in love. it doesn’t matter what version it is.
Obnoxious Queer – The fact that you were tickled tells me the movie achieved its goal.
