Something Borrowed

2011 · 112 min

A glossy, easygoing romantic drama of tangled friendships and guilty secrets, pleasant to watch but rarely surprising.

Directed by: Luke Greenfield
Genres: Comedy, Drama, Romance
Starring: Ginnifer Goodwin, Kate Hudson, Colin Egglesfield

Tagline: It's a thin line between love and friendship.
Overview: Though Rachel 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. Ramifications of the liaison threaten to destroy the women's lifelong friendship, while Ethan, Rachel's confidant, harbors a potentially explosive secret of his own.
