“Made of Honor” stars Patrick Dempsey as Tom Bailey in a male version of “My Best Friend’s Wedding.” Tom Bailey is a womanizer with money who does not understand the idea of a monogamous relationship or marriage. The only real thing in his life is his relationship with his best friend, Hannah.

He is having his cake and eating it too, like a typical guy. The movie reeks of this motif through its entirety.

Tom realizes he loves Hannah while she is out of town. Before Tom can confess his feelings, Hannah announces she has met a man in Scotland and will marry him.

In the process of the announcement, Hannah asks Tom to be her maid of honor. Like a typical guy, Tom goes into ego mode and attempts everything to win Hannah back. Corny, although cute, the movie emphasizes things from a male perspective with a predictable and disappointing ending, proving guys need to have their cake and eat it too. A movie glorifying the male ego, disguised as a chick flick.
