Something Borrowed [REVIEW]

Ladies and gentlemen, dear loving readers.  As I, Kyrle Lendhoffer, put finger to keyboard today I am thankful that I have a wonderful friend like Kimmo Mustonenen.  While I work (and play!) to accommodate myself to my new Los Angeles lifestyle, I can fill my column with the witty stylings of that Fabulous Finn Fan-tard – Kimmo.  He’s been using my press credentials to good effect.  And with that – BEHOLD!  Something Borrowed.  Go, Kimmo… GO!

With wit, reviewed by Kimmo Mustonenen.

Rachel and Darcy have her whole life long best friends.  The two could not be different.

While Rachel has, in recent years, studied law and taught like to make their life into something decent, to Darcy has hung around at parties, looking for Mr. Right.

This blonde has found the ultimate in Party Queen Rachel’s fellow students Dex

Rachel actually had his eye on the budding lawyer, has left her best friend, but then the field and accepted the freshly baked love happiness in the years to come without comment.

At Rachel’s 30th birthday and only weeks before the wedding of Darcy and Dex admits she Dex in a moment of weakness, however, that she was in love, as a student up to his ears in it.

Dex must have had similar feelings for Rachel, as it comes, as it had to: the two end up in bed.

It fits not at all to the faithful and generous Rachel, or does it?

With Something Borrowed the screen is once again haunted by a romantic comedy.

No other genre is to satisfy the female audience easier and faster than this one.

Nice must it be romantic, a bit humorous, though sometimes exciting, a little tragic, or a touch kitschy.  In short, a romantic comedy, with the right ingredients, baked quickly.

Luke Greenfield’s adaptation of the novel by Emily Giffin relies on familiar genre patterns, adds the elements together, however, failed particularly to a film.

The well-known game to conquer the heart boys is “foreign fishing” by playing far too long.  110 minutes of film wind whipped the two opposite players, disguised in the best of friends costume, a constructed story corner after another.

The whole structure looses more credibility and calls for an ever longer a breath from the audience.  “She gets it, they do not get it …” The flower is plucked from the earth, has more petals than it can bear on its delicate stem.

Something Borrowed must ultimately be satisfied to be a film that has a nice feature that in the highly competitive genre can not compete, however.

Too bad, because with Kate Hudson and Ginnifer Goodwin is Something Borrowed not only on two well-known, but also look at two talented leading ladies.  While Kate Hudson, for her role as bitchy Liv from Bride Wars, expands further, there Ginnifer Goodwin, the chubby girl who longs for nothing more than to love and affection skillfully, lovingly, please.

While everything is threatening to Borrowed a lengthy and unimaginative uniformity to blur, Ethan (John Krasinski) appears in the only bright spot imaginative character structure.

The few funny scenes to his credit – that is, given the short screen time that has Krasinski, but ultimately filled only half as good as it could have been.  A bit more “Ethan” if Something Borrowed certainly been good, and for more variety in the otherwise rather dull, if in between time and again, provided nice entertaining narrative flow.

If only.

But Goodwin is real cute.

    the review is most likely more entertaining than the movie.

    It was entertaining. Not worth my $13.00 but definitely worth a night on Netflix. I do like Ginnifer Goodwin.

    Suicide is my first option. Armed robbery and jail time in a pound me in the ass prison is the second option. The third option is still not to see this movie ever in my life. The third option is to be a human shield in front of Osama Bin Laden (but that job was already taken).

    I and my buddies ended up checking the good suggestions located on your web page and then suddenly developed a horrible suspicion I never thanked the web blog owner for those tips. All the women are already so joyful to learn them and have now absolutely been having fun with these things. Thanks for simply being so thoughtful and for settling on some quality issues millions of individuals are really wanting to understand about. Our own sincere regret for not expressing appreciation to earlier.
