‘Something Borrowed’ Trailer – A Kate Hudson Movie Like All The Other Kate Hudson Movies
A new trailer for theKate Hudson-Ginnifer GoodwinromcomSomething Borrowedhas just hit, and it’s exactly what you’d expect. The film, based onEmily Giffin’s bestselling novel of the same title, revolves around good girl Rachel (Goodwin) as she struggles with the impending marriage of the man she loves (Colin Egglesfield) to her best friend (Hudson).John Krasinskialso stars, apparently as some dude who hangs around and gives Rachel sassy life advice. It’s being directed byLuke Greenfield(The Girl Next Door,The Animal) from a script byJennie Snyder(TV’sGilmore Girlsand the new90210). Watch it after the jump.

My biggest problem with the trailer is that I don’t see a single likable character in it. Apparently we’re supposed to root for an irritatingly passive-aggressive girl to find true love with her mean best friend’s unfaithful fiance. Which would be fine if the people involved were at least interesting — I am the one who’s excited forLast Night, after all — but they seem like stock romcom characters.
In fact, the whole thing looks like a lazy rehash of other, similarly uninspired romantic comedies. Hudson’s essentially stepping back into herBride Warsrole, while Goodwin’s frumpy innocent is reminiscent of her naiveHe’s Just Not That Into Youcharacter. The plotline is a story as old storytelling itself, and while I always say I have no problem with familiar storylines as long as they’re well, I’m skeptical thatSomething Borrowedwill be an excuse of anything done well.
On the plus side, because this film has so much in common with those other movies, deciding whether or not you want to see it should be a snap. If you liked those movies, you’ll probably enjoySomething Borrowed, since it looks no worse than either of those. If you didn’t like those movies, I see absolutely nothing about this trailer that suggests your reaction to this one would be any different. Either way, the date to note is May 6.
