It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

This was a thoughtful evocative movie. I thought it was psychologically correct - there are people like Darcy (narcissistic, selfish and fragile) and also people who, like Rachel, put others' needs before their own. Both characters appear to be protecting their fragile egos, the only way they know how. Their methods differ but they seem to need each other. Rachel's realization that she needed to 'step up' and say, and do, what she wanted showed growth and maturity. I note that many reviewers highlight the 'unpunished' infidelity as a reason to dislike the movie. In my humble opinion I thought that this is what made it more realistic. Realism, however, is not what makes a great movie. It is more likely the ability to identify with the characters and whether they effectively tell our stories. Nonetheless, when the movie is very realistic it may evoke a defensive reaction in the viewer. This movie appeared to have that ability given some of the reviews I have read. Darcy had been unfaithful to Rachel for many years by pursuing her suitors. Rachel was unfaithful to herself and then to her friend Darcy by having sex with Dex, Darcy's fiancé. Dex was unfaithful to Darcy and to Rachel. Ethan was the only faithful, truthful character...and he ended up alone. Yeah, it's not moralistic this film. It presents us as we truly are...complicated, flawed, vulnerable. I'm going to watch it again.

I saw this movie years ago, and whenever the subject of worst movies comes up, this one is always #1 for me. There are movies that stay with you because they are great and tell great stories that stick. This one sticks for all of the wrong reasons. I am kind of disgusted that there are human beings that like this movie at all, because I don't think the characters portrayed in the movie can possibly all exist together in the same social circle without the universe imploding on itself. The unlikable levels of nearly all of the characters are off the charts. It must set a record for the highest amount of unlikeable characters in a movie ever. All of the women remotely associated with this movie should have their woman-card revoked. This is a vile film and horrible plot for women, and I would say also pretty bad for the men too. Seriously, we should have a national holiday to annually remember the tragic events that lead up the the making of this film, and vow to never subject humanity to a movie remotely like this ever again. Never again people, never again.

This must be one of the most old-fashioned and conservative films I have ever seen. A couple of well-set friends lie to each others for one and a half hours until the leading lady gets her unattractive object of desire at last. That may say something about the stratum the story plays in, but as a film it's a disaster. Fought hard against falling asleep. The problem with the "mistakes" everybody, except for the gay friend of Rachel, is constantly making in the film, is that they are so bloody obvious. And not only that: Ethan, who mysteriously falls in love with Rachel, although he is gay, constantly tells her, what she's doing wrong, to no effect. So when the audience is already biting their lips, Rachel still acts like an idiot over and over again. This is simply unbearable.

I thought Colin Egglesfield was great in this part. He needs to be cast in other roles like this. Love stories We do not have enough of them with guys that look like Colin Every one else has gone to bigger and better things but Colin And I thought he did the best job of all the actors. I almost see all movies I do not know How I missed this movie I loved it because of Colin Egglesfield. I have looked up all the movies he has been in and I have tried to see them all. Something Borrowed was by far the best. Many people I have shown this movie and everyone loved it. Only one person had read the books and seen this movie. I would love to know if there are any plans for the other books to be made into movies???
