The Spanish subtitles in theaters changed the name from Made of Honor to "Quiero Robarme la Novia". This translates in English to "I want to steal the bride".

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: Opening Scenes: when showing the Brooklyn Bridge/Manhattan Bridge with Verizon building in the background, the picture is flipped. The Brooklyn bridge is SOUTH of the Manhattan bridge when looking at Manhattan. You can barely see the Verizon logo spelled backwards.

Enjoyable

This movie wasn't great but it was enjoyable. I'm not a big fan of Patrick Dempsey either (he'll always be just a TV actor to me). That being said, the movie was legitimately funny but could have been much funnier had they had someone like Owen Wilson or Vince Vaughn as the lead role, both of whom are much more adept to the style of comedy they were going for. I did like how there wasn't very much "cheese" considering it's a romantic comedy but some of the storyline is very unrealistic in terms of real life. Women will thoroughly enjoy it while guys will be indifferent. For all the guys who will take their girl to see it, Michelle Monaghan is great eye candy.
