Something Borrowed Reviews

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for romantic-comedies, I thought I should give it a try. It is a basically movie with a typical plot in this genre, starting with a dilemma which is of course solved towards the end. So, it wasn’t really good but it remained watchable though. Once again, John Krasinski was stuck with a supporting part but he was easily the best character in this flick but Ginnifer Goodwin and Colin Egglesfield made for a decent couple. Eventually, the weakest link was obviously Kate Hudson. I mean, she played such an obnoxious and selfish chick, it made it impossible to root for her and you wonder how Goodwin could have been her friend for so long or why Egglesfield decided to become her boyfriend or, even worse, to marry her. Eventually, if her character would have been more balanced and actually a nice and sweet girl, it would have actually created an interesting dilemma. Also, what was all about Kate Hudson going to England in the very last minute?!? That seriously came out from nowhere and seriously didn’t make much sense. Anyway, to conclude, I have seen worse but it still remain a rather weak romantic-comedy and I don’t think it is really worth a look, even if you like the genre.

Well, "Something Borrowed" was about what I expected it to be. Kate Hudson's character (or maybe it's just her), was totally annoying, rude, and selfish from the start of the movie through to the end. I didn't understand why Ginnifer Goodwin's character would spend her life being saddled with such a shallow, poor excuse for a human being as a friend, someone who just takes what she wants and walks all over anyone who will let her. On the surface, however, this is, for anyone a fan of romantic comedies, a decent enough attempt, but sure a far cry from "He's Just Not That Into You", which I really enjoyed (and I am not a huge fan of rom com).
