27 Dresses (three stars total) is "an inciteful look at how the wedding industry has transformed something that should be an important rite of passage into nothing more than a corporate revenue stream... in a fun, upbeat, you know, cheerful way." (actual quote from the movie)
Made of Honor (two stars total) should have been called "Not the Best Man" because what I like best about this movie is that the main guy is not the better man and there's no deep, dark discovery to be made at the end about the other guy. I once heard a saying about breakups that goes "the wrong one is the right one to get you to the best one." Well, what if the right one isn't the best one?
