Fashion, book, movie and music addicts!

The first time I ever watched Patrick Dempsey was in this teen movie called “Cant Buy Me Love”. In it he played the geeky nerd turned popular guy in high school thanks to the attention of his more popular classmate. It was a completely enjoyable teeny bopper movie and from this rather inauspicious beginning, Patrick Dempsey has gone on to forge a career which has seen him turn into the swoon worthy lead. I mean, who hasn’t swooned over his turn as Dr. McDreamyin Grey’s Anatomy?
His latest leading man incarnation is in Made of Honor. He plays Tom a rich successful man who has fun dating a succession of women, relying on Hannah, his best friend to provide the stable woman role in his life. Things go swimmingly for him till he realizes that Hannah is the one he loves. Unfortunately for him this realization coincides with Hannah’s engagement with a Scottish lord.
This is an unashamedly formulaic Hollywood romantic comedy. That said there is nothing to stop one from having a really good time with this movie. It has no pretensions about it being other than light popcorn fare and there's certainly nothing wrong with that. We need these movies if only to provide a contrast to all those serious heavy dramas that are constantly playing in the big screen. And you have to admit, its fun to watch Patrick Dempsey work for the woman of his dreams. It helps as well that Michelle Monaghan who plays Hannah turns in a spirited and winsome performance. The movie has some genuinely funny moments and if you’re looking for light diversion on a lazy weekend afternoon, this is definitely the movie to go for.
