When the gals' lifelong friendship collides with true love, it leads to unexpected complications and potentially explosive romantic revelations. Meanwhile, her best male friend has been harbouring a secret of his own ...

Box Office (USA)Pete Hammond Something Borrowed is a snappy rom com about intersecting desires among a group of twenty-something friends. The film is terrific: smart, sexy and funny.

ScreenIt (USA)C. Fuchs Both ''blue'' (in terms of how one will feel after watching yet another mediocre rom-com) and ''borrowed'' (from other films of its ilk), ''Something Borrowed'' may make you wish for a bump on the head so you can forget having seen it.

RottenTomatoes.comTomatometer In spite of solid performances from Kate Hudson and John Krasinski, Something Borrowed is an unpleasant misfire that lives down to its title.
