The May 2008 Movie Preview

by Dave Thomas

Last May, three potentially great blockbusters came along and broke our hearts. This month four movies with the same potential (well, maybe not Speed Racer) are in play. Are we ready to love again?
MAY 2
MADE OF HONOR
WHAT’S THE PITCH?
My Best Female Friend’s Wedding
WILL IT SUCK?
Hey, I’m as big a Michelle Monaghan fan as the next guy, but even I have my limits. From the director of such classic sequels as City Slickers II and Leonard Part 6. Two of the writers did Surviving Christmas and The Flinstones in Viva Rock Vegas but, to be fair, they also did Can’t Hardly Wait and the underrated Josie and the Pussycats. Early buzz not good.
By the way, is this not the goofiest film promotion of late? I mean, who wouldn’t want to get married at a movie premiere?
HOW WELL WILL IT DO?
Counterprogramming only works if your movie doesn’t suck balls. Just ask License to Wed. $44mil.

IRON MAN
WHAT’S THE PITCH?
He is Iron Man. Duh-de-duh-de-duh-duh. Vote for him.
