Something Borrowed Reviews
Where's Matthew McConaughey when you need him?
| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 23, 2020
What a drag it is, this journey from planned matrimony with the wrong girl, to till-death-do-us part with the right one.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Apr 2, 2019
My Best Friend's Wedding covered a simliar subject 1000x times better AND funnier. Rent that instead of this.

From its empty soul to its poorly framed shots ready for pan-and-scan conversion, Something Borrowed seems primed to play on Saturday afternoons on E!, sandwiched between reruns of Keeping Up with the Kardashians...

The work of the lead trio keeps the movie from ever becoming something blue.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 7, 2012
No romantic drama has ever been so misguided and eager for you to root against its characters. This tacky, morally abhorrent film is unbearable.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 31, 2011
While Something Borrowed obviously wants to explore themes of competitiveness and betrayal in female friendships, it seems to feel compelled to hit pre-programmed chick flick beats at regular intervals.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 14, 2011
It's neither romantic nor comedic. Sort of defeats the whole point of the exercise, you know?
| Original Score: 3/10 | Aug 10, 2011
This is another supposedly female-friendly motion picture that secretly hates women, making both of its main two characters as unappealing as possible seemingly every step of the way.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 3, 2011
You'd have a lot more fun sharing a few Heinekens than wasting your time on this movie in which lies build upon lies until the whole plot comes crashing down.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 3, 2011
Prepare to leave feeling something blue.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 31, 2011
...a passable romcom that just barely gets the job done...
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 16, 2011
An intoxicated condition might be the best one in which to watch this terrible movie.
| Original Score: D | May 16, 2011
The book was good but the movie is not. Too many unlikable characters without any softening.
| Original Score: 5/10 | May 14, 2011
It should have borrowed some charm.
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 13, 2011
As a wedding drama which feels like we've seen it 1,000 times before, Something Borrowed certainly lives up to the 'seen-it-all-before' title.
| Original Score: 1/5 | May 13, 2011
I was grasping at straws to find anyone in the film that acted like a normal human being with a moral center.
| Original Score: 1/5 | May 13, 2011
It's the Transformers of chick-flicks, a brain-stabbing hundred minutes of brutal hurtness.
| Original Score: 0.5/5 | May 13, 2011
Even though it's chick-flicky with men who are either girly men or brutish clods, Goodwin and Krasinsky (in the Tony Randall role) give good performances.
| Original Score: 4/10 | May 12, 2011
If you met any of these people in real life, you'd head for the hills; here, we're trapped with them for the duration, and it feels like a season in hell.
