Something Borrowed

Ratings: 5.9/10
Film Class: B
Genre: RomCom

Just before her best friend Darcy's wedding, Rachel's suppressed love for Darcy's fiance Dex, surfaces again and by a slip of her tongue, opened up hidden emotions between the both of them. They must come to terms with their feelings before the wedding, or risk their love for each other forever being silenced.

There's a rather interesting cast behind Something Borrowed, and Kate Hudson excels in her role as being the possessive, everything-has-to-be-her-way best friend. She's really good at obnoxious roles like these and audience are not left with much of a choice than to hate her character. Unfortunately, there's really not many characters to love in this movie, other than the main lead herself, Rachel, and perhaps her best friend, Ethan, who has always been there for her.

*spoilers ahead* I didn't like how the script writer made Dex's role so wishy-washy like, and over the span of the movie, you almost wished they didn't end up together (even though it's no surprise they would). It's your average chick flick movie, girl falls in love with guy, guy falls in love with girl, but under circumstances, their love cannot fruition... blah blah blah... then love triumphs all and they end up happily ever after?

Was fairly entertaining, and was thankful I caught this movie at the comforts of my bedroom and not in the movie theaters because it's sure not worth the $6.5-$10. Good for a weekend rental movie.
