So I went to see the movie Something Borrowed on Tuesday cheap night. It is the last one that I will experience since I go home on Monday. I did find that John Krasinski was hilarious. I was out loud laughing throughout a good portion of the movie. There are only a few movies that I can think of where I have been laughing so much, one is The Hangover and the other is The Proposal.
One aspect of romantic comedies or chick flicks that most women like is the predictability of them. We like to watch something that ends where the girl and guy end up together. This movie ended as I thought it would, but there were many other bumps in the road that I was not expecting/was quite surprised by.
One aspect that I found to be quite true and well represented was the fact that (and this is found in the trailer) women want a man to step up, and men want a woman that they know likes them, ie. is a bit forward. Because then men do not have to be too vulnerable and get hurt.
Ginnifer Goodwin's character lived for years allowing her best friend to become engaged to the man that she loved. As women we are so terrible to ourselves. (or at least most of us are). We do not think that "that guy would ever like someone like us." We never think we are good enough. It is quite sad, because confidence is attractive.
I really like Ginnfer Goodwin as an actress. She is gorgeous, but has a very relate-able aura about her. From Mona Lisa Smile to He's Just Not That Into You, In the Land of Women, Romona and Beezus, and now Something Borrowed. She plays relate-able characters.
I give it a 7.5 out of 10
