Something Borrowed
What is stronger: love or friendship? Rachel (Ginnifer Goodwin) wonders. It has always been attracted to Dex (Colin Egglesfield) but he will not betray his best friend Darcy (Kate Hudson) who is soon to marry him. When the duo spoke to three, there is inevitably a risk that too much to suffer.
At other times, this romance called “Sabrina” and was directed masterfully by Billy Wilder, enjoying the great talent of Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn. In 2011, we must be content with the image-maker Luke Greenfield (“The Girl Next Door”, “Animal”) behind the camera and actors, patchy. Very often it’s all about acting. In this case there is the cute Ginnifer Goodwin (in a role that seems designed for Carey Mulligan) and the likable John Krasinski from the series “The Office” who plays his best friend.
The romance is not necessarily to go. But if there was only that. The bases of the book of Emily Giffin serve a superficial and stereotyped thinking about friendship, love and the need to listen a little instead of always sacrificing for others. Important topics that do not dialogue with the height, really interesting adventures, a successful comedy or even a competent staging (contribution from many returns in time seems to come from the old serials of deliberately kitsch Egypt).
Instead, production is smooth as the images of New York constantly parading on the screen and it gets lost in its predictable detours where humans prefer to remain silent rather than communicate. So much so that the filmmaker feels compelled to continue his stories after the end credits.
This gives the ultimate morality particularly nauseating. Even if a guy handsome, kind, intelligent and honest declares his love for the heroine, it opts for the joystick but rich man who spends his time lying to her constantly. She’s beautiful image that we want to teach single women who feel guilty for not being a couple!
