Something Borrowed the movie
Since we're talking about WFE so much right now, I was wondering if any of you have read Something Borrowed and what you thought about it and then the movie.
I read the whole book Sunday and I have to say I was pretty disappointed. I wanted to like the characters, but the fact that they're either cheaters or egotistical kinda ruined it for me. It was the first book in a while that I didn't like.
I'm still going to go see the movie because Im sure it will be a good chick flick, but Im not getting my hopes up. What do you think?
Re: Something Borrowed the movie
i read the book. i too was unable to sympathize with any of the characters. i thought the story was okay. i've read all of emily giffin's books and this isn't my favorite.
i plan on seeing the movie, but don't have high hopes. i'll take it for what it's likely to be...a typical romantic comedy
This. I read Something Borrowed, Something Blue, and Baby Proof. I found all three to be okay... they didn't "wow" me but they were each a fun, mindless read.
I'm going to see the movie. For some reason I feel obligated or something because I read the book. Lol.
I decided Im not even going to read the second and third books because she was so annoying.
I am the opposite of you ladies... I actually loved SOBO and SOBL... they are my fave books and I have read them over and over. I like that she wrote it in a way where I actually wanted Rachel and Dex together cause in real life I would obviously be horrified. I like things not being so cut and dry as right and wrong.
I like her other books too... I actually went to the HOTM paperback release party in NY and met Emily Giffin. She is so sweet and nice.
I can't wait for the movie... i have plans with friends to go opening night.
I loved the books, too! The only one I really didn't care for was Baby Proof. I really liked Love the One You're With and I think it's because (similar to what you said) she tells the stories in such a way that you can understand these people doing and experiencing things that I could not even imagine doing!
I'll probably watch the movie when it's on DVD but I'm always extra disappointed in the girly books that I like when they're made into movies. Also, I wish that Kate Hudson was not in the movie. I'm really not a fan of hers but I like everyone else.
Laner- let me know when you go see the movie, I want to see it too.
Okay!
I also read Something Blue before Something Borrowed, but completely by accident so I was actually biased towards Darcy before reading SBo. I think the casting is odd because I think both actresses are too "cute" for the parts, although I'm loving John Krasinski as Ethan.
I'm planning on seeing this opening night with my girlfriends.
Me too. I've re-read SOBO and SOBL several times and still enjoy them. I actually just stared re-reading SOBO last night in anticipation for the movie.
I'm excited to see it come to the big screen, but I have a feeling I'll be disappointed.
I also have thoroughly enjoyed the book. I will go see the movie - however my expectations are pretty low!
I really liked the books too EXCEPT Love the One You're With. I couldn't stand that book. All the should I cheat, should I not crap really irked me.
I'm really excited to see the movie. I'm sure it'll be a great chick-flick! Plus, I love Kate Hudson.
OMG i love these books! i have read them multiple times. i'll see the movie for sure but i don't have high hopes because the cast is so not the characters in my head.
i recently read heart of the matter which is about dex's sister tess...SO good but i was pretty mad at her husband the entire time.
I am the same as you. I love her books and have been following her on facebook so have been excited to see this movie for a while now.
