Something Borrowed


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes

Not one of the good ones.

The whole film is in the trailer. I never saw the trailer but you can still see everything coming a mile away. I just didn't expect them to drag out the revelation so damn long.

Kate Hudson is such a bitch in the film it's impossible to believe that anyone could stay her friend more than 2 minuets, let alone a life time, or that someone would get engaged to her.

John Krasinski is the most likeable character, he's not in it much and gets snubbed by everyone when he is in it. Still he provides the only funny scene in the film.

The film looked a little pastey, like digital film with no D.I. But I guess technically everything else was fine. No creative direction in this one though, just point and shoot t.v. editing.

This story could have worked if there was even an ounce of sympathy or at least understanding of why someone would befriend Kate Hudson's character. But in writing, in direction, in performance, it's not there and the whole film is unbelievable because of it. Don't bother with this one.
