Jan 23 2008AM Poster Post: 'Made of Honour', with a 'U'
As grateful as I am that they've updated the international Made of Honor poster to include evidence of Dempsey's full torso, it's a sad eye-opener to realize how differently they're marketing this movie abroad.
In countries where honor is spelled with a "u" (as seen above), the joke is: This guy's the maid of honor, yet he's trying to stop the groom!? This sounds like a wacky, mixed-up love triangle! Also, he's both literally and figuratively pushing him out of the picture! Good pun.
In the United States (as seen here), the joke is: A man as a maid of honor?! WTF??? And good pun with the "unbridaled" thing.
My point is that, as astute as he is at realizing critical differences between genders, we need to stop letting Tim Allen design movie posters. Also, neither version has answered the nagging question of why "maid" is spelled "made". I get that it's a pun, but a pun typically makes sense in some way. How he he made of honor?

How he he made of honor, indeed. Maybe he he trying to be a good friend and step aside, or maybe he he in the military and won a medal of honor, or maybe he he a really good student who made the honor roll at San Dimas High School.
You never know.

made of honor as in he is comprised of something respectable.
it never occurred to me that this would mean he is supposed
to be the maid of honor or meant to be portraying a woman's role.
funny eh?
