Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Katy This was a thoughtful evocative movie. I thought it was psychologically correct - there are people like Darcy (narcissistic, selfish and fragile) and also people who, like Rachel, put others' needs before their own. Both characters appear to be protecting their fragile egos, the only way they know how. Their methods differ but they seem to need each other. Rachel's realization that she needed to 'step up' and say, and do, what she wanted showed growth and maturity. I note that many reviewers highlight the 'unpunished' infidelity as a reason to dislike the movie. In my humble opinion I thought that this is what made it more realistic. Realism, however, is not what makes a great movie. It is more likely the ability to identify with the characters and whether they effectively tell our stories. Nonetheless, when the movie is very realistic it may evoke a defensive reaction in the viewer. This movie appeared to have that ability given some of the reviews I have read. Darcy had been unfaithful to Rachel for many years by pursuing her suitors. Rachel was unfaithful to herself and then to her friend Darcy by having sex with Dex, Darcy's fiancé. Dex was unfaithful to Darcy and to Rachel. Ethan was the only faithful, truthful character...and he ended up alone. Yeah, it's not moralistic this film. It presents us as we truly are...complicated, flawed, vulnerable. I'm going to watch it again.
SarahRT I saw this movie years ago, and whenever the subject of worst movies comes up, this one is always #1 for me. There are movies that stay with you because they are great and tell great stories that stick. This one sticks for all of the wrong reasons. I am kind of disgusted that there are human beings that like this movie at all, because I don't think the characters portrayed in the movie can possibly all exist together in the same social circle without the universe imploding on itself. The unlikable levels of nearly all of the characters are off the charts. It must set a record for the highest amount of unlikeable characters in a movie ever. All of the women remotely associated with this movie should have their woman-card revoked. This is a vile film and horrible plot for women, and I would say also pretty bad for the men too. Seriously, we should have a national holiday to annually remember the tragic events that lead up the the making of this film, and vow to never subject humanity to a movie remotely like this ever again. Never again people, never again.
revelly-robinson My god this was a terrible movie. All the people in it are awful. The moral of the story is all wrong because why would she want to end up with an idiot that didn't even call off his wedding for her and cheated on his fiancé. What sort of douche bag does that and doesn't even have the guts to face up to his choices. Why would her friend keep the baby. This movie was so bad for so many reasons I don't know why they bothered making it. Unfortunately, while Kate Hudson is entertaining, all the other actors in this stupid movie are absolutely bland and the writers have put no thought into making believable characters. Each character is like a caricature off a standard Rom com script making this pathetic movie nothing more than a waste of time.
admcdow The story-line of this movie is absolutely horrible...seemingly written for the immoral, lust-filled soul or proud adulterer. The degradation of morals in America have come to a point of plain dirt, but of course that's what we're made from. It amazes me that Hollywood champions the "goodness" of man yet pumps out stories that literally scream out depravity. Oh how we need redemption Lord Jesus. A pig with lipstick on...that should be the American film logo. Darcy is made out to be this terrible friend, therefore it becomes okay to wrong her. Rachel is supposed to be the sweet, lovable type who constantly gets run over, therefore it makes it okay for her to sin. Yes SIN, that is the best word to describe the backwards "progression" of this debacle of a love story. This is a lust story. Love is not based on feelings & emotions but choices & actions. And Dex, is this guy really supposed to be some kind of knight in shining armor? He is a glutton...TOTALLY selfish. Something Borrowed is shameful as Hollywood & America once again mock the honor of marriage & fidelity. This is a movie of deception, the deception that if you just go for what you want (and feel is deserved), even if it deeply hurts someone else, YOU will be happy in the end. There are dire consequences to sin and the disregard of the feelings or emotions of others. This is a sinful farce of a fairy-tale. Smh
