Review: Made of Honor & Get Smart
It had been a humourous weekend for me. I watched two movies of the humour genre. Remember, you might have your own opinion towards the movie.

Made of Honor is a comedy romance movie which is very similar to a 1997 movie called ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’. Well, I haven’t watched ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’, but I have read its synopsis, and I tell you, both movie are almost similar.
In terms of storyline, Made of Honor is too cliched. It can be easily predicted, and it is no fun if you know what’s to come. Many movies have used this storyline as a side romance story, incorporated with a twist. However, to based the whole story on this storyline, with one twist, a very predictable twist, does not make it as interesting.
The only thing I like about this movie is the humour which is shown by Tom, the main character of the movie and also all the innuendos. It could use some improvements, but it was the only thing which I enjoy. Without it, the movie would be dry so I’m glad the had a decent script.

Less intelligent than James Bond but more intelligent than Johnny English, comes a spy from an old TV show with the same name, by the name of Maxwell Smart. This movie is filled with action and romance, topping it up with a generous amount of humour. I really laughed.
First, the storyline was unpredictably random. Of course, it’s always the good guys over the bad guys, but for the minor details, it was hard to figure what they’ll be up to next. It’ll leave you wondering: what attics are they up to next? And then, there is the twist. It was much harder to anticipate the twist.
There were some old comical jokes and there were some fresh ones. It got me laughing a lot. The script was written with much hilarity in it. Steve Carell was perfect for the role. He is a comical genious.
However, all in all, it was an ordinary movie which can give you a lot of laughs. There were not much really special effects. If you need a laugh though, this is the movie.
