The Heartbreak Kid

The Heartbreak Kid

Who's in it: Ben Stiller, Malin Akerman, Michelle Monaghan

What's it about: Eddie(Stiller) has never been married and is always scared of the commitment. He meets Lila(Akerman) on the street one day and then a relationship soon follows. They get married within a few months time and are on their honeymoon in México. He meets Miranda(Monaghan) on the beach one night after Lila got a really bad sunburn and won't come out of the resort room. They fall in love, but when he tells her that he's married everything goes to pieces. He gets a divorce from Lila only to find that Miranda has already gotten married.

What I Think: Ben Stiller is one of my favourite actors of all time and I love his comic routine. I still felt like he was a Focker in this movie because he was just always doing and saying the wrong things. Monaghan has come up in a few movies that I've watched recently and she just never seems to get anything good. Something always goes wrong for her. Akerman did a great 'loony' wife and I loved her. She's drop dead gorgeous.

Made of Honor

Made of Honor

Who's in it: Patrick Dempsey, Michelle Monaghan, Kevin McKidd

What's it about: Tom(Dempsey) and Hannah(Monaghan) have been best friends since a college accident. Tom is always sleeping around with different women every night and then comes back to spend a day with Hannah every Sunday. Hannah leaves for a trip to Scotland for 6 weeks and doesn't get to hardly speak with Tom in that time. Tom realizes that he is in love with Hannah while she's gone. When she gets back, she surprises him with her new fiance, and Duke of Scotland, Colin(McKidd). Tom agrees to be Hannah's maid of honor in the wedding. Now in a crazed attempt to 'steal the bride', Tom must try his hardest to be the best maid of honor he can be.

What I Think: I actually first saw this movie in theaters with my best friend. We both adored the storyline and the comedic routine that went along with it. I've never been a huge fan on Patrick Dempsey, but this movie has made me realize why so many women are in love with him. Monaghan was beautiful in every aspect of her character and as an actress. This movie makes you really sympathize with men all over the world that lose their love to a superior male. Great movie!

The Bachelor

The Bachelor

Who's in it: Chris O'Donnell, Renée Zellweger, Artie Lange

What's it about: Jimmie(O'Donnell) is a bachelor. Or as he says, a 'wild mustang'. He's always dating beautiful women for fun. But when he meets Anne(Zellweger), he falls head over heels. They attend all of his friends weddings and when she catches the bouquet, he panics. He feels like he has to propose to her now. On their 3 year anniversary of being together, he proposes and everything falls apart and they break up. When his grandfather dies, he is to inherit $100,000. The only catch is to be married before he turns 30. The thing is, his birthday is tomorrow! On an epic search to find Anne with his best friend Marco(Lange), he learns just how much love is worth.

What I Think: I do like Renée Zellweger, but in this movie she just wasn't that great. She wasn't in it alot of the time so I guess that could be what happened. O'Donnell was very good looking but didn't do a great acting job. He needs to stick with Batman.
