For Mother's Day my mom took me out to go see Something Borrowed. Now, I'm not sure what it is, but something really bothered me about seeing a 32 year old woman (Kate Hudson) portraying a mid-twenties lush/party girl. Yes I realize she's not that old but with her beauty and talent I feel like she could play such better roles. Or better yet, why don't they write her better parts for romantic comedies like this. I felt like she played the character well (annoying blond party girl) but I felt it was below her. Ginnifer Goodwin is absolutely adorable and I have loved her work in everything I've seen her in. However, in this movie the plot seems to drag and you just want to know who ends up with whom. I felt like I hit that point with about 30 minutes left in the movie. Why won't Dex just choose Rachel?! And what about Ethan and Rachel? Totally underdeveloped relationship/story there. **SPOILER ALERT** I secretly wish she would have chosen Ethan instead of Dex. Yes she ends up happy in the end but she could have been happy the whole time.
Ugh, overall, even though I liked it, I give it a 7 out of 10. The "comedy" wasn't that hilarious and why do they feel the need to throw in the f-bomb for no reason? Needless to say, it left me wanting.

That's good to know! I was contemplating going to the movies on my own tomorrow to see it. I'll wait for it to be redboxed :)
