'Made of Honor' Review

Michelle Monaghan and Patrick Dempsey in "Made of Honor."  Watch the trailer: http://movies.aol.com/movie/made-of-honor/28433/main

The plot will remind guys, including me, about something we've experienced.  Patrick Dempsey has a gal pal for many years, played by Michelle Monaghan, and won't admit to himself that he really loves her. That's until she becomes engaged to a wealthy foreigner and this spurs him to finally has the courage to tell her his true feelings. How she will react propels the second part of this charming movie. Lots of chuckles, some slapstick moments, and culture clashes along the way as the story moves from NYC to Scotland. 
     Of course the movie ends the way you want but that will not stop you from waiting for the outcome as obstacles keep popping up in Dempsey's path.  His performance carries the plot along without being portrayed as a buffoon in love and you feel for him.
    Made of Honor passed the Mom Test and was a good Mother's Day choice for her and us. Good local photography and selection of background songs were a bonus.
