O Noivo da Minha Melhor Amiga

"Something Borrowed" is a predictable interpretation on a love triangle story that's as old as the ages. Girl likes boy, boy likes girl, girls best friend steals boy, boy and girl eventually get together. This movie is suitable for a girls night in with a couple bottles of wine. Being a guy, this movie was actually quite enjoyable. A bit dialogue heavy and not enough car chases, but enjoyable none the less. Actress Ginnifer Goodwin plays the lovable geek Rachel with Colin Egglesfield playing the love interest, Dex. Kate Hudson plays the vampy best friend Darcy and to round up the cast, John Krasinski, as the offbeat comedic relief complete with devastating one-liners.

The idea that 'best friends are forever' are tested in this movie filled with infidelity. The premise is that Rachel (Ginnifer Goodwin) falls in love with Dex (Colin Egglesfield) during their stint in college. One night over drinks, Darcy is introduced to the mix and the dynamic between all three changes. Rachel maintains the pent up affection for Dex whom she cannot have. Darcy continues blissfully unaware. Dex reciprocates Rachel's pent up longing.

Stylistically, the movie should attract Sex and the City devotees with all the urban shots of downtown nightclubbing and long strolls through filled city streets. Complete with shots in the Hamptons and London, England, Carrie from Sex and the City would approve.

Predictable story and ending not withholding, "Something Borrowed" is enjoyable to watch, but only if you have an hour and a half to kill. My girlfriend commented that the book was much better than the movie. Well played roles by Ginnifer Goodwin and John Krasinski keep the viewer engaged and entertained. I give this movie three and a half wine glasses for the girls and two beer bottles for the guys.

This "rom com" was meh. I'm someone who will usually connect with characters quickly, but almost every character was so unlikable that it was impossible to have any sympathy for them. The plot is that a girl sleeps with her friends fiance and they pin her and the fiance to be the protagonists. It's hard to watch. And If you're looking for a rom com the only comedy you're going to get is from John krasinskis character (the only bearable character) chiming in every once in a while)

I would not recommend this sorry excuse for a rom com to anyone. The three stars are for John krasinski's character...

I never could understand the reason behind such hate for this movie. It's based on a book, yes, but since when are movies ever better than books anyway? With that said, this movie is relatable to me. When it first came out, I was in my late 20's, close in age to the characters in the movie, with a best friend I've known since I was 10 years old. Hence, if you are a chick who has a lifelong childhood friend who is 30, you will probably love this movie. If you didn't, you missed the whole point. People who review it, want to say it's "immoral" or has "bad acting". News flash: reality for a lot of people, IS immoral. Many women deal with this kind of situation everyday. Yes Rachel was a doormat, but we all have that one friend. And yes, Darcy was a selfish beotch, but that's how a lot of women act these days, especially in a city like NYC. All in all, I thought the actors were perfectly cast.. the acting? Kate Hudson is always great, and John Krasinski is an amazing comedic actor. Ginnifer Goodwin has played better roles, but she did a good job as the submissive, never-sticks-up-for-herself-friend Rachel. Colin Egglesfield is pure eye candy, bearing a very close resemblance to a young Tom Cruise, it's easy to see why these two women are both head over heels for him, This movie is not meant to be taken too seriously, y'all. It's a light comedy with a look at what it might be like if you were in love with someone who you never thought would like you back, let alone marry your best friend. The truth is, there are more than likely people like this, who are in a similar situation, but never had the nerve to tell the other person how they felt. For those who bash the movie - you're completely missing the point of it. The moral? Life is too short to go about it, never telling people how you really feel. If you don't, your decisions might later on prove to just benefit someone else, someone you might even know personally. And if so, you might have to live with the mistake of seeing it right in front of you everyday. Lighten up people. It's a movie. Appreciate the humor, the message, and most of all, the moral of it. How's that for being "immoral"? Out.

I honestly really enjoyed this movie. It's probably the most morally conflicting romcom you'll ever watch. None of the characters are pure good or pure evil. You dislike and like all the characters (except Ethan, he's a charm). It deals with infidelity, lying, betrayal, etc. The friendship dynamic between Rachel and Darcy actually reminded me a lot of my own friendship in high school. So trust me when I say people like Darcy exist. And it's draining to be their friend. They're always there for you and praise you, but somehow it's also always about them. I saw so many people being irritated by Rachel, but guess WHAT? People like her EXIST. The character isn't written poorly or exaggerated. I guess I liked this movie so much because it IS reality. And I liked this movie because it's not a clear cut "she was wrong" or "he was wrong". It's about a girl who was always second to her best friend, basically wasted her twenties, and finally put herself first in the end. So, yeah. Don't watch this if you wanted a light hearted romcom. But I loved it because I felt like it accurately portrayed life.

Let's see! Weekly trips to a beach front house in the Hamptons. Beautiful brownstone apartments in the City. Driving around in a Land Rover. Taking trips to London.

All of these things happened in the movie and yet, for only 2-3 scenes do we see anyone at work. Everyone has all of this free time and no one says where the money comes from.

Well I got that off my che$t and I feel better.

As for the movie--someone said it best. It was a tennis match of watching relationships change back and forth. Yes, John Krasinksi was very good, however, I was expecting Pam Beasly to show up. He was playing his Office character in this movie and yes he made it bearable.

My wife loved the movie and I constantly squirmed in my seat. Wish I could write more but I have to work for a living.
