Review
There's a strange story that offered by Jennie Snyder Urman (scriptwriter) and Luke Greenfield (director) through Something BORROWED. Consequently, visualization of the Emily Giffin novel failed to 'touch' the audience. Yet this is actually going to be very helpful in this kind of film.
Something BORROWED is still struggling with the grip pattern of romantic comedy. There may be an attempt to be different though ultimately these efforts failed. What is clear, the characters in this film actually make the plot so absurd. Then the questions began to emerge. If Darcy's character is described as an antagonist character, then why Rachel and Dex so think of Darcy? Actually, the reason for it is not strong enough. Then if Dex is not the kind of guy who has a firm stance, why not just let Dex Rachel is married to Darcy?
And constraints are difficult to answer is what makes this film so it feels awkward. Its feels different with the character in the movie of Tom and Summer (500) DAYS OF SUMMER. Both are seen as fully human, complete with all the advantages and drawbacks. If only the three main characters in Something BORROWED intact portrayed as a man, perhaps this film will be an interesting spectacle.
