Nov 19 2007'Made of Honor' Trailer is Aggravating, Confounding
In Made of Honor (and probably real life), Patrick Dempsey is the epitome of a douchebag--a basketball-playing, covertible-driving, nerd-mocking, womanizing asshole. In other words, he's the perfect antagonist to the geeky yet lovable underdog who is ultimately meant to get the girl in the end.
Yet, for reasons I still can't grasp, Dempsey is the one we're meant to be cheering for as he tries to stop his love from marrying a man who, by default, must be less of a dick. To keep us distracted from how much we should hate the McDreamy protagonist, he's given the role of maid of honor, providing many opportunities for men-don't-understand-lady-stuff and gay jokes as he reclaims his undeserved lady. Duckie must be rolling in his grave (a shallow hole the exact shape of Two and a Half Men).

I feel kind of screwed over that it didn't end in 'Coming this May...de of Honor.'

Oh Patrick Dempsey... Your return to fame is getting John Stamos all excited. Soon he'll being in delightful romantic comedies too!
You've come a long way since Loverboy, baby. Oh wait... no you haven't.

I don't understand the reference here to Duckie or Two-and-a-half men. The Duckie character from Pretty in Pink and the character on THM is Jon Cryer, not Patrick Dempsey.
