Random Things: Something Borrowed

Synopsis:

Rachel (Ginnifer Goodwin) is a talented attorney at a top New York law firm, a generous and loyal friend and, unhappily, still single…as her engaged best friend Darcy (Kate Hudson) is constantly reminding her. But after one drink too many at her 30th birthday party, perpetual good girl Rachel unexpectedly ends up in bed with the guy she’s had a crush on since law school, Dex (Colin Egglesfield), who just happens to be Darcy’s fiancé. When Rachel and Darcy’s lifelong friendship collides with true love, it leads to unexpected complications and potentially explosive romantic revelations. Meanwhile, Ethan (John Krasinski), who has been Rachel’s constant confidante and sometimes conscience, has been harboring a secret of his own, and Marcus (Steve Howey), an irrepressible womanizer, can’t keep his mind out of the gutter or his hands off any girl within reach.

I’ve been waiting to see this movie since forever! It’s the first of the two-book series written by Emily Griffin. I fell in love with the books and then I discovered that their making a movie adaptation, that’s when I started to get really excited about it. And today, I was finally able to watch it and I am loving Dex more than ever!

Kate Hudson is just the perfect for the role of Darcy. You’ll gonna love her and hate her at the same time. I was surprised that Ethan’s character was very much present physically in the entire movie (since he was in London the whole time in the Book version), but hey, it turned out to be good! He is the person who throws the lines that would make you laugh out loud. Oh, I love that scene at the Hamptons when Ethan attempted to spill everyone’s secret by playing a game of beach badminton. At first, I doubted Ginnifer Goodwin for the role of Rachel, but after watching the movie, I think she did pretty good job. And of course, the actor who played Dex (Colin Egglesfield) is just so charming and hot and handsome! Well maybe you won’t see all that in the movie but he’s that great in the book! It’s like Luke Brandon (from Confessions of a Shopaholic) all over again. Almost always, the story is better in the book than the movie version since they have to cut the story short. But as for me, it’s always nice to see the movie after reading the book since you’ll get to see the characters in person particularly those characters you fell in love with.
