Something Borrowed belongs to the Sense And Sensibility/Never Been Kissed subset of rom-coms that center on a shy, insecure, unlucky-in-love woman as she finally finds her soul mate. Ethan For once. She then chases him down the street and credits roll. The movie ultimately ends up going with the first clich (Dex leaves Darcy for a happily-ever-after with Rachel), but its hard not to feel like literally any other choice wouldve been a better one. Rachel That didnt happen. Another person added, We have to keep the story going!! Ethan Technical Specs. Better yet, quit. : While Rachel assumed that Dex and Darcy had tied the knot when she was in London trying to get away from the messy situation, it turns out Dex had called off the wedding as he was in love with Rachel and not Darcy. I read it in 3 days, Unnecessarily convoluted romcom of unresolved regrets, thieving bridesmaids and uncertain grooms, This movie was very well done. As Billy Crystal proved in When Harry Met Sally, charisma matters more than six-pack abs or a chiseled face. : Our review: Parents say ( 3 ): Kids say ( 13 ): This is forgettable fluff best left to the DVD queue. That would make me happy. However, Rachel was too scared to express her feelings. However, the Something Borrowed ending left with few questions. Furthermore, Moriarty plans to write several more books about these characters. I wanna be someone's first choice. And following the revelation by Darcy, they score even, in a petty, childish way, but that is beyond the point. : So why have I been listening to this bullshit all summer? As Vulture put it in a breakdown of the movies rom-com clichs, Halfway through this film, you still may not know exactly how its going to endnot because the ending is a shock, but because there are four equally clichd ways it could go: The protagonist ends up with her soul mate; her soul mate turns out to be a jerk; her best guy friend turns out to be her soul mate; her best girl friend turns out to be more important than any soul mate. Though that unpredictability is admittedly a nice novelty for the genre, its not exactly a great sign if halfway through a rom-com the audience still isnt sure if the romantic lead is secretly a villain or not. You're kidding, right? Oh, that's great. (Plus it has Hathaways character realize that her supposed true love is actually an asshole and allows her to move on to someone better!)
