Something Borrowed
2011, 112 minutes
Friendships are trusted and secrets come to the surface when terminally single Rachel falls for Dex, her best friend Darcy's fiance.
Rachel White (Ginnifer Goodwin) is a single, talented attorney working in a New York law firm. After too many drinks on her 30th birthday, Rachel grabs a cab with Dex (Colin Egglesfield) and playfully reveals she has had a crush on him since law school. The problem is, Dex is also her best friend Darcy's (Kate Hudson) fiancé. They wake up in bed together the next morning to Darcy calling both of their phones. Dex sneaks out and they do not have time to speak about what happened between them. What Rachel thinks is a one night stand, is actually the beginning of an emotional roller coaster once Dex tells Rachel he is in love with her. Ethan (John Krasinski) has been friends with Darcy and Rachel since childhood. He is the only one who knows what has happened between Rachel and Dex, which he has vowed to keep secret. Meanwhile, Dex?s mother (Jill Eikenberry) has been suffering from depression for some time and Dex and Darcy?s wedding is the only thing keeping her sane and happy. When Dex skips out on 4 July weekend in the Hamptons to stay in the City and spend time with Rachel, they run into his parents. His father suspects something is going on between the two of them and he tells Dex to end it as soon as possible. Considering his mother and father?s feelings, Dex gives Rachel the cold shoulder and leaves her to go back to Darcy (who has been partying the Hamptons all weekend with Dex?s friend, Marcus). As the wedding nears, Dex and Rachel are speaking less and less. At the beach, their secret is almost revealed by Ethan, who is frustrated with Rachel not taking what she wants, but Rachel stops him by hitting him in the face with a badminton racket. That night at the bar, Rachel finally tells Dex that she wants him to call off the wedding so they can be together, but he tells her that he can't. Ethan moves to London for a job and Rachel flies out to visit him. He reveals that he loves her and just wants to see her happy, knowing that she is in love with someone else. Rachel returns to New York to find Dex sitting on her doorstep. He reveals that he ended things with Darcy and called off the wedding. Rachel is ecstatic until Darcy ends up at her door begging to come in to talk. Dex hides and Darcy enters her apartment. She tells Rachel that she ended things with Dex and has been cheating on him with his friend Marcus. She is also pregnant with Marcus? child and they are very happy. Rachel gives her her blessing and Darcy proceeds to leave but only to return and ask what Dex?s jacket is doing in her apartment. Dex then comes out and Darcy figures out Rachel is the other woman. She becomes infuriated and storms out of the apartment. Two months later, Rachel and Darcy run into each other on the street. They have not spoken since the incident and Darcy says truthfully that she is extremely happy. Rachel is happy for her. As they leave, they turn back and smile at each other. Rachel walks around the corner to Dex sitting on a bench. They walk down the street hand in hand. The film ends with an ambiguous scene during the credits. Darcy shows up to surprise Ethan in London; Ethan tries to ignore her and briskly walks away.
