The only exception: Something Borrowed

Chick Flicks all-round are pretty cheesy, and apparently, this post title also refers to some hormone induced love song. Yes, Chick flicks contain numerous cliches and can get damn boring, but like the title this one did beat the norm and these days i'm noticing it with most romance films based on a book.

Something borrowed wasn't exactly on my watch list and as usual i was in for a surprise. The story begins with the same old same old as you meet two best friends Rachel( Ginnefer Goodwin) and Darcy (Kate Hudson), Rachel being the wiser smarter one and Darcy being the more outgoing sexy one. The major twist comes when they celebrate Rachels 30th birthday and after moaning about still being alone etc she and Dex (Colin Egglesfield), Darcy's fiancé and husband to be, decide to get a few drinks where she accidentally finds Dex has always liked her. GET OUT!!! SERIOUSLY? But wait there's more! After one night of sex Rachel and Dex have to decide forget about it and let Darcy win, or break it of before the very close wedding.

I really like this movie since there is more than one side to be on: Stuck up Darcy or Cheater Rachel. And There's also a few male crying scenes which i like because i always love to see how ugly hollywood boys get while tearing up, but i must say as a straight man, Colin Egglesfield makes it look pretty good.

If you don't like romantics, don't worry there's a bit of everything in it, and the ending is extremely unexpected.
