6: Review of "Something Borrowed"

Howdy. How're y'all doing? Thanks for joining me on Day 6 of BEDIM (Blog Every Day In May, in case you're new).

I went to see "Something Borrowed" with two of my friends today. Here's some background on the film: the 4 main characters are Ginnifer Goodwin (love her!) playing Rachel, Kate Hudson playing Darcy, John Krasinski (love) as Ethan, and Colin Egglesfield as Dex. It's a chick flick, with major drama and secrecy.

Before I saw the movie, I checked how long it would be - 1 hour and 43 minutes. By my standards, this is a pretty short movie. I've seen films as long as 3 hours and I'd say the average is at least 2 hours. I'm wondering if the producing companies are trying to tailor to the American attention span.

I love Ginnifer Goodwin! She is an amazing and emotional actress, who plays the quirky, quiet girl very well. Kate Hudson's characters, Darcy being no exception, are often loud and obnoxious. While she plays them well, it does get annoying after a while. John Krasinsky, AKA Jim from "The Office",'s character Ethan was too sarcastic or cocky for my liking. Don't get me wrong, I liked his story and I love me a good sarcastic remark, but it was a bit overkill. He is good-looking, though. Speaking of good-looking, Colin Egglesfield sure is a hunk! His character Dex was not as strong-willed as I would've liked. He seemed to be indecisive at times when a direct answer was needed. I guess you need a little suspense, though, right?

Overall, I liked the premise of unrequited, then mutual, love. The supporting characters, like Marcus and Clara/Claire were hilarious! While Dex's parents did make a few appearances, their role wasn't really defined. Maybe they'll be in the sequel.


Onto other things. Here's what I ate today: 2 blueberry Eggos, 1 chicken salad sandwich, 1 chocolate chip cookie, 1 Subway sandwich (9-grain wheat, chicken breast, tomatoes, pickles, green peppers, vinegar, oil, and caesar dressing), 1 bottle of Sprite, 1 box of SnowCaps (my weakness), and a bit of pesto chicken and mushrooms from Portillo's. That sure does sound like a lot, but it was rather spread out. Either way, it's late and I've got a big day tomorrow, what with the volleyball camp. Wish me luck!

Peace, love, and simplicity.
