Something Borrowed is a thoroughly modern romance film. It does not rely on tired or trite templates, and it audaciously confronts modern social issues (illicit pregnancy, love-triangles, overt-sexuality, cheating, and the inevitability of physical attraction being the great destroyer of friendships). Two of my favorite actors star in Something Borrowed; John Krasinski, and Kate Hudson (loved her in Alex and Emma). The only two flaws I can prelude for you my dear readers, are the despicable nature of the breakdown of friendships in the film, and Krasinski's overexposure (I learned, perhaps for the first time, that film stars should not be regulars in weekly sitcoms as it inadvertently causes them to appear both stale and typecast).
Rachel (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Darcy (Kate Hudson) have been lifelong best friends. Six years ago, on the verge of graduating from law school, Rachel unwittingly introduced her crush and best friend Dex (Colin Egglesfield who has the distinction of being one of Tom Cruise's doppelgangers) to a rampaging Darcy. Darcy ignored her best friend's feelings for Dex and immediately pounced on him. If there is any one defining characteristic about Darcy it is her predatory sexual instinct. Dex sublimely sprinted after Rachel and asked her point blank if she had feelings for him. He offered to remove himself from Darcy's clutches. Always being the unselfish friend, Rachel denied her own happiness and stupidly offered Dex her blessing at a considerably high sacrificial price.
In the present day Darcy and Dex are engaged. Making such a monumental commitment has forced them to confront their demons. This leads Dex to reveal his longtime passion for Rachel, and Darcy hurtles down the road of being a floozy. She is a party girl after all with a healthy appetite for sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Rachel is caught in the middle of a crossroads where she must either once again deny her own happiness or spoil Darcy's big moment. She engages in what has to be called a sweet, yet torrid by definition, affair with Dex. They have everything in common, including a shared history and the same dreams and aspirations. It is evident that Dex and Darcy are completely wrong for one another but that does not excuse Rachel from betraying her best friend in the world to steal her fiancé away. In Shakespeare’s own words (abdridged), “if courtesy is a turncoat I am thus resolved.”
In the middle of their summer long drama, Rachel's other best guy friend always accompanies her to the Hamptons, and without fail consoles her when she needs a friend the most. Surprise, surprise, extra, extra, read all about it! He is madly, but secretly (shhhh) in love with her. Ethan (Krasinski) despises Dex and desperately tries to disentangle Rachel from his grasp as she is being bitterly strung along. Darcy meanwhile kindles a blazing hot sexual vibe with Marcus (Steve Howey) who is the least sensitive douche bag of all time. To add painful comedy amongst the agony of betrayal and heart-rendering, Claire (Ashley Williams) relentlessly pursues Ethan to the point of utter embarrassment. This is a multihued love rainbow, the triangle left the building a long time ago!
Something Borrowed is an ironic title for a film that borrows almost nothing save for a hint of the St. Elmo's Fire love triangle, except in reverse. Krasinski, Hudson, Goodwin, and Egglesfield are splendid together. They will make audiences laugh, cringe, and feel any number of strong emotions, though for me, disgust is on top of the list. I am not a fan of modern romances that excuse cheating and put together couples to trade sexual partners on a daily basis. Sorry, no sloppy seconds for me, I am already full! Regardless, this is theater caliber chick flick that will play extremely well on DVD and Blu-ray. Make this a true date night experience.
