Something Borrowed

Alrighty guys I'm gonna give you the facts for the first half of this blog and then I'm gonna rip the film a new one...so get ready to rock!

Something Borrowed is a film staring John Krasinski, Ginnifer Goodwin, Kate Hudson, and Colin Egglesfield. The movie is about two best friends Rachel (Ginnifer) and Darcy (Kate) who have been best friends since they were little. Darcy is engaged to Dex (Colin) a friend of Rachel's from law school. Darcy is a crazy attention seeking girl who loves everything about herself. She loves that she is getting married to this good looking smart guy. Well come to find out Rachel has liked Dex since college. The girls have a friend Ethan (John) that helps them along the way. Well one drunken night Rachel admits that she liked Dex in college. He then kisses her and they wake up in bed together the next day. Keep in mind this is the first 10mins of the movie so I'm not really spoiling it for you.

So basically the film spends the next 2 hours going back and forth between the drama with Rachel and Darcy and Rachel and Ethan and Rachel and Dex and Dex and Darcy! AHHHHH The movie gets a little long and you get so mad at some many characters....

Ok that is my nice little mini review here is what I REALLY think....Many Spoilers ahead!!



I was so disappointed in this movie! Rachel is this whining girl who can't decide what the heck she wants. She doesn't have the lady balls to admit to Darcy that not only has she slept with her future husband BUT she is in love with him. Along the way she drags Ethan everywhere and he just lets Rachel keep whining! He admits that he has feelings for her and she doesn't even care...why is that? Oh right she is still waiting around to see if Dex is gonna leave Darcy. Until then she just keeps cheating! How in the world are we suppose to like this character when she continues to hurt her best friend?! Yes Darcy is a big pain in the butt. Yes she is a little crazy but NO ONE deserves to get treated like that by someone claiming to be your friend! I mean SERIOUSLY! Rachel should have got her butt kicked by Darcy!

Basically for 2 hrs we wait to see if Dex with pick Rachel and she just follows him around like a lost puppy. It's sick! Then we have poor Ethan, the best character BY FAR in the movie just trying to get a word in. Rachel takes advantage of his friendship and it's sick. At one point Ethan FINALLY calls Rachel out on all the crap! He tells her she is weak and what she is doing is wrong and I was like THANK GOD SOMEONE SAID IT! I had ZERO sympathy for Rachel...none!

The movie ends with Dex breaking off the wedding to Darcy and running back to Rachel's. Well then Darcy shows up at Rachel's and Dex hides....like a child! So Darcy admits that she was cheating on Dex with a friend and that she is pregnant. She says she asked if he was cheating and he said no. So she leaves and notices that Dex's coat is in Rachel's place. She calls Rachel out on it and Dex walks in the room. Rachel starts to cry and Darcy screams at her. I think that Darcy should have kicked the crap out of her. Darcy leaves while screaming that she hates them.

It flashes to 2 months later and the girls run into each other on the street. Rachel is carrying Dex's shirts and Darcy calls her out on it. Basically it ends with Rachel crying and saying she is sorry and she misses Darcy and Darcy walks away saying that she is really happy. Dex and Rachel seem to be the happy little couple...not caring about how many people they hurt.

After the credits there is a little clip that I found out about after I saw it. The movie ends with Darcy flying to London and meeting with ETHAN!!!!!! Then it says To Be Continued and I really hope they make it!! The second book is really good and it's got TONS of Ethan in it!

Basically I do not condone this movie. It is basically saying that it doesn't matter who you hurt as long as your happy it is ok. So you can hurt your best friend of 20 years as long as you are happy. Oh also it is ok to pick a cheating man over your best friend. Have you ever heard the phrase Cheat once you'll cheat again....yeah right good luck with that! It made me sick to think that someone could do that to their best friend. YUCK Rachel you suck....big time.

Romance: A twisted kind
