I am happy to admit I quite enjoy various romantic comedies and chick flicks when they are interesting, unique and mostly amusing. Something Borrowed is not one of them Ginnifer Goodwin is certainly getting used to playing perennial single woman. As Rachel, she is an almost replica of her character in the far superior and that's saying something, 'He's just not that into you'. Working at a New York legal attorney office, Rachel is a good girl. However, after her 30th Birthday party and a lost Chanel handbag, she falls into the arms and in bed with Dex. He is the guy who she's had a crush on since law school. Dex is also the fiancé of her longtime best friend, Darcy (Kate Hudson) So it's from here on it's cliché after cliché and irritating event after irritating event. If you knit, take it to the cinema, if you need a sleep, go watch this. Everyone is in love with the wrong person in this absolute cringe worthy romancer. Not even soft boyfriends who tag along to cinemas to please their partners will handle Something Borrowed. Even a few weekends in the Hamptons end up flat, there was potential for comic gold in a few situations but nothing happened that breaks new ground in the genre. John Krasinsky is the only male in the cast worthy of mention, all others are caricatures of better rom-coms such as Chasing Amy, Bed of Roses or Reality Bites (Just to name a few). Avoid Something borrowed, even fans of the bestselling book will check their watches.
