Something Borrowed **

Luke Greenfield directed this Romantic comedy. Watch Preview Cast: Ginnifer Goodwin, Kate Hudson, Colin Egglesfield, John Krasinski, Ashley Williams, Steve Howey. Rated PG-13 for sexual content including dialogue, and some drug material. Running time is one hour and forty-three minutes.

After one drink too many at her 30th birthday party, perpetual good girl Rachel (Goodwin) unexpectedly ends up in bed with the guy (Egglesfield) she's had a crush on since law school who just happens to be her best friend's (Hudson) fiancé.

Another romantic comedy in the 'pleasant enough' category. Cast and direction is fine and the picture moved right along. There's never much doubt how it will end although there were a couple of plot lines that could have been taken, and weren't. The ending feels a little unfinished but that's because they're planning on a sequel.  Hudson's role is a little frenetic to be completely enjoyable, but that's the script and not her. Goodwin is appealing in her role. Williams doesn't have a major role but steals the scenes she's in. If you stay through the credits you'll see an additional scene with "To Be Continued" superimposed, giving you an idea where the sequel is headed. There's nothing in this film to separate it from any number of other light romantic comedies so let your wallet be your guide.
