Though Rachel (Ginnifer Goodwin) is a successful attorney and a loyal, generous friend, she is still single. After one drink too many at her 30th-birthday celebration, Rachel unexpectedly falls into bed with her longtime crush, Dex -- who happens to be engaged to her best friend, Darcy (Kate Hudson). Ramifications of the liaison threaten to destroy the women's lifelong friendship, while Ethan (John Krasinski), Rachel's confidant, harbors a potentially explosive secret of his own.

Critics Consensus

In spite of solid performances from Kate Hudson and John Krasinski, Something Borrowed is an unpleasant misfire that lives down to its title.

The Indian Express

What a drag it is, this journey from planned matrimony with the wrong girl, to till-death-do-us part with the right one.

Rated: 1.5/5

The Playlist

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...

Rated: D-

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.

Rated: 1.5/4

My Best Friend's Wedding covered a simliar subject 1000x times better AND funnier. Rent that instead of this.

The work of the lead trio keeps the movie from ever becoming something blue.

literally terrible, it made the two evil people in the mvie seem GOOD! Imagine your fiance cheats on you with your BEST FRIEND and suddenly THEY get to live happily ever after, get away scott-free, and make you seem like the bad guy. absolutely terrible. Never wanted to punch someone through the screen more.

Unbelievably terrible. The only characters who don't deserve being smacked by a bus are the two minor comic reliefs.

If zero stars was an option I would have chosen that. Unfortunately 0.5 is as low as I can go. It’s a horrible movie with the most un-likable characters. The only person that was somewhat decent was Ethan… a big waste of time. Great if you like cheaters

One of the worst movies I’ve seen in my life. Kate Hudson’s fiancé cheats on her with her best friend Ginnifer Goodwin, and somehow those two are supposed to be the good guys? Hated it.

They absolutely butchered the book! Which is really sad because the book was great.
