After watching three straight nights of baseball, it was time to give in and watch Made of Honor. Going in, I knew this was going to be one of those light romantic, formulaic comedies (aka chick flicks) that Patsy likes so much. Admittedly, I don't mind them too much most of the time and even like them when they're done well. This one really wasn't very good and it's a shame it was the last movie Sydney Pollack made. None of the performances were particularly bad and some of the scenery, particularly the Scottish highlands, was spectacular. It was the story that was stale and this film brought nothing new to it (The BOTD says the same thing). Pollack was a very good producer/director/actor but I guess even one as talented as he didn't recognize the turkey from within or maybe he just wanted the paycheck.
