Something Borrowed (2011)

Saturday night, and back home with the fam for Mother's day.  Thai food for dinner, while watching the horse races, then off to see Something Borrowed at the theater.  We took a quick stop at a Starbucks close-by for some coffee and a desert before hand, and then its go time.

Rachel (Ginnifer Goodwin) is a talented attorney at a top New York law firm, a generous and loyal friend, and, unhappily, still single—as her engaged best friend Darcy (Kate Hudson) is constantly reminding her. But after celebrating her 30th birthday, perpetual good girl Rachel unexpectedly ends up in the arms of the guy she's had a crush on since law school, Dex (Colin Egglesfield) who just happens to be Darcy's fiancé.

As one thing leads to another in the frantic weeks leading up to Darcy's wedding, Rachel finds herself in an impossible situation, caught between her treasured friendship with Darcy and the love of her life.


30/50 Eggs

Let it be known that i have a small crush on Ginnifer Goodwin.  Especially since she recently cut her hair short.   There were a lot of things about the film I didn't like, but Goodwin and John Krasinski definitely helped it out.  Krasinski was hilarious and vastly helps the movie get through plot develop. Colin Egglesfield, a name I've never heard until now, plays Kate Hudson's fiance' and is mediocre to say the least.  His chemistry with the two leading ladies was pathetic and unbelievable.  Whoever decided to cast him was either an idiot or had ulterior motives.  The film also offered quite a bit of puffery.  When watching a romantic comedy one expects to know the plot.  Great romantic comedies aren't made by their unpredictability.  They're made by great lines and connections we make with the characters.  This film isn't bad, and I would suggest a rental, they just tried to hard to make it unpredictable.
