Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

My wife said this wasn't a good movie. We just finished watching it on TBS. I liked this movie. I think it showed heart. You can really identify with the blonde character, and you can also identify with the brunette. They end up sword fighting for the dippy-looking guy. Then one of them becomes pregnant in the Hamptons. The brunette goes to London to find herself, but all she finds is John Krashinski with open arms. The audience is forced to feel bad for John Krashinski, but I did not. I felt bad for the dippy guy's father, who didn't get his way when he wanted dippy guy to marry Kate Hudson. Sometimes you don't get everything you want in life, Dippy Dad. Deal with it.There is apparently a sequel coming out. I think it should focus on John Krashinski becoming a serial killer. Overall, 12 thumbs up from me, but only a half a thumb up from my wife. Thanks, honey!

Rachel (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Darcy (Kate Hudson) are life long friends. Dex (Colin Egglesfield) was Rachel's college friend when Darcy budded in. Now Darcy and Dex are about to get married. But Rachel still has feelings for Dex and they sleep together.This movie has 2 problems and 1 great positive.Colin Egglesfield is a horribly bland lead. It's unbelievable that two great girls are battling over him. John Krasinski is an infinitely better lead. There are countless others that would be a vast improvement. Although Krasinski and Ashley Williams have some funny jokes.Second problem is that Rachel jumped into bed with Dex so early. It puts her in a moral deficit right off the bat. It makes rooting for her next to impossible.The one great positive is Ginnifer Goodwin. She pulls off the impossible by being such a sweetheart. I can't help but root for her no matter what. I don't think the movie people actually questioned the premise. At least, they could have given GG the moral high grounds.

I think it's a great movie. It maybe about cheating and betrayal, but what I like about it is that, it's also about feeling something we don't want to feel and yet we can't do anything about it and as hard as we try to do the right things, there would be a time where we become irrational and we do things we don't expect we could do. It's a revelation of what truly is happening, even the people who think ahead could make mistakes. In this movie there's no villain, it's just bunch of friends who had different personalities and were caught up in a love triangle. I swear, if you give this movie a try you'll love it. I'm sure everyone at some point had been through what the characters went through in this movie.

The story-line of this movie is absolutely horrible...seemingly written for the immoral, lust-filled soul or proud adulterer. The degradation of morals in America have come to a point of plain dirt, but of course that's what we're made from. It amazes me that Hollywood champions the "goodness" of man yet pumps out stories that literally scream out depravity. Oh how we need redemption Lord Jesus. A pig with lipstick on...that should be the American film logo. Darcy is made out to be this terrible friend, therefore it becomes okay to wrong her. Rachel is supposed to be the sweet, lovable type who constantly gets run over, therefore it makes it okay for her to sin. Yes SIN, that is the best word to describe the backwards "progression" of this debacle of a love story. This is a lust story. Love is not based on feelings & emotions but choices & actions. And Dex, is this guy really supposed to be some kind of knight in shining armor? He is a glutton...TOTALLY selfish. Something Borrowed is shameful as Hollywood & America once again mock the honor of marriage & fidelity. This is a movie of deception, the deception that if you just go for what you want (and feel is deserved), even if it deeply hurts someone else, YOU will be happy in the end. There are dire consequences to sin and the disregard of the feelings or emotions of others. This is a sinful farce of a fairy-tale. Smh
