Made of Honor is a romantic comedy starring Patrick Dempsey as the maid of honor for the woman he loves.
SPOILER WARNING: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Tom Bailey (Patrick Dempsey) and Hannah (Michelle Monaghan) look lovable in Made of Honor
Tom and Hannah met in a costume party when he accidentally slipped in her bed thinking it was her roommate, "Monica". She was honest and feisty when he asked her about what she thinks about him which nonetheless has made Tom pretty impressed by it.
Ten years later, Tom (Patrick Dempsey) becomes successful in life and quite loaded due to his invention of the “coffee collar” of which the idea has popped up when he met Hannah a decade ago. Tom is a playboy who sleeps with different girl every day of the week and occassionally plays basketball with his guy friends. His best friend is no other than Hannah (Michelle Monaghan). They always date on Sunday including going to antique stores together and guessing each other desserts at a well-known bakery.
It seems that Tom takes Hannah for granted until she goes to Scotland on an acquisition trip for her museum and returns with a wealthy Scottish, Colin McMurray (Kevin McKidd). Hannah asks Tom to be her "maid" of honor since he is her best friend and he tells her he’ll think about it until his guy friends convince him to agree in order to win her back. Hannah tells Tom that she is going to move to Scotland to be with Colin and never coming back to New York City. While in Scotland, Tom plans to tell Hannah he loves her. During Hannah’s bachelorette party, they share a passionate kiss, before Hannah gets whisked off by her bridesmaids. That night, Hannah goes up to Tom’s room to talk to him.
But before she arrives, Hannah’s cousin, Melissa (Busy Phillips) who Tom ditched, comes into Tom’s room and attempts to seduce him after having too much whiskey. Hannah walks into the room only to find Melissa is on top of Tom. Tom and Hannah ends up having an argument and Tom leaves for home. But on his way, he decides to rush back to stop the wedding when he bumps into a dog of whom he could easily say "I love you" to but not to a human — which reminds him of the things Hannah once told him. Tom borrows a horse in exchange for part of his coffee collar royalties and manages to make it to the chapel just in time but he crashes onto the parlour floor. When he wakes up, Hannah and Tom both kiss. Hannah finally decides to cancel the marriage and marry Tom back in New York City.
Well, it may be another romantic comedy, but this film sure rocks. Lighthearted, funny and engaging to watch.
