Storyline

Made of Honor revolves around Tom and Hannah, who have been platonic friends for 10 years. He's a serial dater, while she wants marriage but hasn't found Mr. Right. Just as Tom is starting to think that he is relationship material after all, Hannah gets engaged. When she asks Tom to be her "maid" of honor, he reluctantly agrees just so he can attempt to stop the wedding and woo her.

Trivia

While filming at London's Park Lane Hotel, about 30 extras had to be used on short notice when the production team noticed red double-decker buses passing by frequently. That's common in London, but not New York, where the scene is set. The extras were used outside the hotel, to block the buses.

User Reviews

Dire

The premise is good but the storyline is awful. The 'quaint' Hollywood view of Scotland is sickening. If British film makers portrayed the US so horribly, their films would never get watched in North America. And the c**p about basketball being called netball... I played basketball in the UK forty years ago and it was called basketball. As for all the other nonsense about Scotland, it is so bad it really isn't worth wasting words on. The film would have been a lot more interesting if the Scotsman had been a hard nosed Glaswegian or an educated artistic supporter of the Edinburgh festival. Sorry but this is a major wasted opportunity with a weak screenplay, unbelievable characters and poor direction.
