Something Borrowed

A really good chick flick on best friends after Bride Wars. And its so easy to compare Kate Hudson's character because it is almost identical in both the movies. The difference in this movie is how the characters are fleshed out.

The storyline is simple:-Rachel the best friend donates Dex to Darcy, then later both Dex and Rachel realize the mistake, but are guilty. And they keep deciding whether to disclose this to Darcy or not. There is a twist in the ending and I did not expect it!

I found it difficult to side with Rachel and hate Darcy, because Darcy does not act the mean and the aggressive way that she is portrayed by Rachel's and Ethan's conversation. And Darcy is actually shown as a caring friend throughout the movie. I could not like Dex because he keeps hiding from the situation. The only character who is likable is Ethan! But then the good thing is all the characters have their gray shades so its interesting to watch them react to situations. So finally its a good watch.

This is a actually a novel by Emily Griffin, converted to a movie. I think I need to catch up on the book to see which one is better. And there is a sequel to this one called 'Something Blue'. And this one is on Darcy! I definitely have to read this too. :)

Should probably watch this one as like Bride Wars! Nothing like a chick flick and a tub of ice cream after along, hard day!
