For those who might not be familiar with this romantic romp. Think of Julia Robert’s movie “My Best Friend’s Wedding” and substitute maid of honor for best man and you have the premise. Womanizing Patrick Dempsey is asked to be the maid of honor for his platonic girlfriend played by Michelle Monaghan. Guess what? Dempsey ruins the wedding, gets the girl in the end and hunky Kevin McKidd (from HBO’s Rome) gets left at the alter. Wow…didn’t see that coming.

You might be wondering why a discerning movie critic like myself might be interested in seeing the girlie flick, made for theater vehicle for Dr. McDreamy. I’ve never been a fan of the McDreamy nor watched either of his television shows. It was because of a realization I had in the Macy’s dressing room that caused me to want to see this film.

Weeks ago they were running teaser adds for “Maid of Honor.” One of film clips shows Monaghan stepping out of a ladies dressing room dressed in a tight bustier, black hose and whip. Very, very sexy. A look I’ll probably never possess.

Here is were it gets good for me, ladies and gents. As I was standing looking at myself in the Macy’s dressing room mirror lamenting that I might never have that particular sex kitten look I realized that not all guys look like Patrick Dempsey nor George Clooney. Sometimes guys who look like George Costanza can make my heart do flips.

There is hope and love for all of us. I swear by next year I might actually like my thighs.

As for the movie I will give it 2 nursing caps with the prescription “best flick to see after an ultrasound and you want some mindless entertainment.”
