Movie Review backlog Pack 1: Made of Honor, Definitely Maybe, Bride Wars

not that the shows all belong to a certain category, but as you would have noticed by now, I'm quite into action flicks so as my interest in reviewing them with higher priority. Now, some non-action flicks which one of them has become one of my favorite shows of all time!

1. Made of Honor (main lead Patrick Dempsey)

i did not think the male and female leads look dreamy actually, considering you are expecting a 'dreamy' film (from the show title and the trailer). Understand from some that Patrick Dempsey happens to fall under this category from his role in ER... (don't understand). :-s
Plot-wise, i guess the quirk 'you do not know how something (or someone) is important to you until you lose it (or them) is the backbone of this story. The male-female best-friends-forever kind-of thing? Doesn't work in this movie.
In conclusion, a happy ending!
RPR: 6.5/10 - some of the scenes were shot in Scotland. Niceee~

2. Definitely, Maybe (main lead Ryan Reynolds)


was recommended to watch this movie by Mr. SKY (his initials, not his actual name). Having common tastes, i decided to go for this show just one week after watching Made of Honor. Definitely, Maybe was definitely less publicised over here than Made of Honor.
the story is about a divorcee dad telling his daughter (in the very cute form of Abigail Breslin) his love story in order for her to identify with who the mom is, amongst the ladies mentioned.
there were 2 heart-warming parts where: (1) the dad comforted the daughter in response to her empathatic exclaimation that nothing good happened out of these relationships; he simply replied 'you happened'. (2) the daughter, after spontaneously saying that his dad is a 'slut' for being involved with so many women, and while the dad was walking away, she said 'but i still love you'.
not exact words from the show, but you gotta give the show some credit for making me remember this. I watched this show back in 2009!
RPR: 9.5/10 - watching the show the second time didn't work for me though.

3. Bride Wars (main leads Anne Hathaway, Kate Hudson)


a really, really chick-flick, i would call this show. I cannot believe i sat through the entire show and in the end found some topics to discuss on.
plot revolves around 2 good friends in the form of a blonde (Kate Hudson) vs. a brunette (Anne Hathaway) who always wanted to hold their wedding at this particular place in town. Ends up, due to a screw-up by their wedding planner, theirs fall on the same day, same time (well at least it's not so cliche as 'with the same guy')! so it's all-out between the 2 BFFs to fight between who would hold the wedding of the century.
eventually, the plot takes an unexpected twist (at least for me) which left a bitter after-taste for me (about the twist but not the movie). Good one, i suppose. Very few movies would leave me like this (both the 'unexpected' twist and the bitter after-taste). So i would say the movie's not bad at all (if you can sit through it).
RPR: 7.5/10
