12/5/2023 0 Comments Made of honorI like it when a movie seduces me this one doesn't. We expect the two leads to end up together - not because they inspire us to quote sonnets but because that's how we have been conditioned. Ask this question: By the time the moment of decision arrives, are we rooting for these two to be together? Is their union, inevitable though it may be in a movie world where formula is valued over all else, the only path to a satisfying ending? Sadly, for Made of Honor, with its drawn-out, poorly developed love affair and paper thin characters, the answer is no. There's a simple romantic comedy litmus test. Some romantic comedies, this one included, fail because of an inability to convince the audience that the protagonists deserve to live happily ever after. Ultimately, that's their reason for being - to make even the most cynical heart crave true love.
