Literally all of the characters lack depth. The amount of laughs this movie gets you doesn't make up for the fact that the characters aren't appealing enough. By that, I mean that they keep making poor choices (all of them) and as a viewer, you don't sympathize with them enough to make them nice enough to identify with anymore. The only good thing about this movie is John, even though this role isn't different enough to get that "The Office" guy label off of his forehead. The actors, in my opinion, aren't all that bad. I blame the script that doesn't succeed to create a plausible narrative to "justify" the terrible incidents these characters get themselves into.

Something Borrowed (2011): Dir: Luke Greenfield / Cast: Ginnifer Goodwin, Kate Hudson, Colin Egglesfield, John Krasinski, Steve Howey: Pathetic juvenile garbage about one relationship falling into another and regardless how it unravels it never gets it right. Ginnifer Goodwin and Kate Hudson play life long best friends. Goodwin just celebrated her 30th birthday and Hudson is engaged to a guy whom will reunite a fling with Goodwin when screenplay contrivances take affect. Director Luke Greenfield previously made the disgusting The Animal, and he proves quickly that his talent hasn't grown. The cast is at the mercy of idiocy. None of the characters are remotely likable. Goodwin spends much of the film in a fling and hiding it from Hudson. Hudson couldn't be any more annoying than she is here. She is constantly mugging her scenes. Goodwin is suppose to be jealous because Hudson steals her moments, however she is also cheating. Colin Egglesfield plays a total douchebag who was once involved with Goodwin but ends up with Hudson, now he bangs Goodwin while juggling Hudson. This guy is a creep and doesn't earn much credibility in any relationship. John Krasinski plays a guy who trails Goodwin like some lost puppy then he pretends to be gay in order to get another female off his back. None of it is interesting or funny for that matter. Bland filmmaking with a boring screenplay at best that would make better toilet paper. Something should be borrowed alright. Perhaps someone should borrow a hammer and beat this worthless piece of trash into oblivion. Score: 1 / 10

I understand that the movie is based off of a book, so for that reason, I won't rate as terribly as I thought it originally deserved. That being said, most of the movie was pretty good and sucked me in pretty quickly. But then the end happened and I hated Rachel as a character and everyone involved in making this movie for giving it such a cliché ending. She let everyone push her around the whole movie. I thought that maybe there was just a glimpse of hope at the end, but no. Dex had toyed with Rachel for months and cheated on her best friend whom he was engaged to at the time. If he had already been having these thoughts and was a decent man, he would have broken it off before anything happened. I hated him almost immediately. But Rachel on the other hand, I actually kind of liked. I thought maybe, just maybe she would finally realize that she was too good for Dex and didn't need him to be happy. But no. She apparently was completely okay with the fact that he had been cheating with her for months. Of course he's not going to cheat again because they're meant for each other, right? Whatever. I've always found it really funny how this behavior is looked completely down upon in the real world (as it should be) but is practically praised in Hollywood because everyone just knew that they were soulmates. The end of this movie was utter and complete crap, and I use that word because there is just not another one that will accurately and intelligently describe my feelings.

This was a fun chick flick in my opinion, lots of morals involved here and a situation that occurs much more frequently then some people would like to hear. I don't condone cheating but sometimes you have to go where your heart is and in this movie Rachel was merely reclaiming what was hers in the first place. Her BFF didn't really love him anyway and was also sleeping behind his back so I have no sympathy for her whatsoever. In reality Rachel wouldn't have let a hot guy like that go so easily to her BFF. One negative is that if you're going to portray someone as being less attractive than the other girl at least choose an actress that isn't just as pretty as the other. I enjoyed the comedy aspect of the movie too, JK is extremely funny.
