Made of Honor
Made of Honor is not your regular chick flick.
Instead of following the girl pining over the clueless guy we watch the
guy pine over the girl who gave up on the guy of her dreams... which happened to
be him.
I saw this one with my best friend. It
looked cute and promising and it was at that. With a few exceptions of
some guy humor (i mean, REALLY - it's a CHICK flick!), overall the film was
funny, cute, and lived up to it's promising
trailers.There's not a whole lot to
say about it... I won't be the first to admit that chick flicks aren't exactly
the top of the movie totem pole at The Oscars. However, I'll probably be
4th or 5th. Chick flicks aren't made to have the best screen plays, actors
and actresses, or cinematics. They're made to get a girl to go all sappy
and cry about a happy ending where the guy gets the
girl...So- in lieu of a complete
review and spoilers, here's a quick synopsis of your standard chick
flick.In the beginning there was a guy
and a girl. They didn't know each other but throughout the opening credits
it becomes apparent that it probably won't stay that way for
long.Right after the last obscure
actor's name is splashed up on the screen the girl (insert any variation of guy
meets girl - or vice versa - plot) meets the guy. They either hit it off
immediately or hate each other. Either way for at least 5-20 minutes of
the film the girl will not be happy with the
guy.The two get to know each other
over coffee, dinner, sports games, drinking way too much, and will probably
realize that they're meant to be. Of course, for a plot twist only one
could realize this and the rest of the film is spent trying to convince the
other that it's true: they're meant to fall in love and live happily ever
after.Insert wrench in the whole
process: skeletons in the closet, another guy/girl that happens to be
super hot or amazingly rich/talented/funny. This is where the girl is
upset with the guy for 5-20 minutes of the film (note: this is just an average.
Actual times vary according to which company produced the
film).Then, just when we think all
hope for this couple-made-by-God is lost, a moving speech, flowers, or some
random rainstorm causes the girl (or guy) to rethink the anger held against the
once significant other.A long-awaited
kiss/wedding and the credits roll with a cheesy pop love
song.imdb web
