Call it a chick flick if you will, but “Something Borrowed” is something you’ll want to see!  Read on for why!

The talented and charming cast were the perfect balance of funny and romantic.  Ginnifer Goodwin leads the cast as the lovable good girl and lawyer, Rachel.  Kate Hudson plays Darcy, her very blond and very wild best friend.  Darcy is engaged to Dex, otherwise known as Colin Egglesfield, a gorgeous former model and soap star with chiseled cheekbones and abs (swoon!).  In the movie, Dex is also a lawyer.  Bringing the funny is John Krasinski as Ethan, good friend to Rachel and the funniest guy in the film!

Rachel (Ginnifer Goodwin) becomes the center of the story when after her 30th birthday, (a tough one for all of us gals, for sure!), she admits to Dex, (her best friend Darcy’s fiance, remember) that she had a crush on him years ago in law school.  And then of course, he kisses her and they sleep together.  Naturally.

Things get more and more complicated as Rachel lets herself fall for Dex, who is getting married very soon!  And Dex is still very much in a relationship with Darcy (Kate Hudson).  And then of course Darcy introduces Dex’s friend Marcus to Rachel, hoping to help her single friend, which makes Dex jealous.  And Ethan (John Krasinski) is being the voice of reason and a good friend, but really, guys are never “friends” with women without a hidden agenda, right?  It all adds up to one thing…drama!

The movie worked because the characters were so well written and acted (by some of my favorites, might I add!  Shout out to Kate and John!)  The story also seemed real and accessible, not contrived and impossible.  And Colin Egglesfield will make you drool.

This romantic comedy delivers a story you’ll love and a cast worth that ticket price.  Grab your girlfriends and head to the movies!  This is definitely one for the ladies, but a good one!

Instead of talking about the Harry Potter’s, 2012’s or The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus’s of 2009 that are so far away from hitting theaters it seems like they won’t premiere until … well 2012, we’re going to look at five upcoming flicks that will be at a theater near you before the Obama’s have time to fully move in.

Bride Wars – Opening January 9, 2009. There’s nothing like sharing wedding plans with a best girlfriend, but when plans start to overlap, it’s likely to evoke more nightmares than Freddy Krueger. “Wars” seems to have a bouquet of comedic potential as well as girls in white dresses – fighting. But before all the guys zone out this movie does offer something for them too. Two of the prettiest actresses in Hollywood – Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson.

Taken – Opening January 30, 2009.  Staring Liam Neeson as an ex-Secret Agent who has to rescue his estranged daughter (former “Lost” star Maggie Grace) who was kiddnapped while in Paris.  As reviewer Mr. Green from CrimeCritics.com describes, “it’s a film in which you enjoy watching HOW he will succeed. And let me state, you will enjoy every punch Bryan (Neeson) delivers to every henchmen.”

Fanboys – Opening February 6, 2009. I think “Fanboys” will be the “Superbad” of 2009. Yes, it’s about a group of “Star Wars” fans set to break into George Lucas’ business headquarters, Skywalker Ranch, and steal a copy of “Star Wars Episode 1.” Before you groan at the sound of a Sci-Fi movie, know that it’s really a coming of age story about friends who take a huge risk for one of their own. To lend some credibility, Producers include Kevin Spacey and the Weinstein Company.

He’s Just Not That Into You – Opening February 9, 2009. This chick flick makes the list because: 1) it’s based on a NY Times Best Seller, Oprah endorsed book and 2) EVERYONE is in it. That’s no exaggeration. Here’s just some of the cast: Ginnifer Goodwin (Big Love), Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Connelly (The Day The Earth Stood Still), Scarlett Johansson, Drew Barrymore, Ben Affleck, Justin Long (Mac commercials), Bradley Cooper (Wedding Crashers), Sasha Alexander (Yes Man), Kevin Connolly (Entourage), and MANY others.

Push – Opening February 9, 2009. Dakota Fanning, Chris Evans and Djimon Hounsou star in this film about “psychic espionage.” A Government agency is genetically modifying people to have psychic abilities and “getting rid” of those who don’t want to participate. Fanning and Evans need to find an individual who could help end the dangerous agency. So, Government Misconduct + Exotic Location (Hong Kong) + Psychic, Telekinetic, Move Stuff With Your Mind Abilities + The Cinematographer Who Did “Donnie Brasco,” “Gangster No. 1,” “Wicker Park” & “Lucky Number Slevin” = A Must See Movie!
