Summary

Rachel (Ginnifer Goodwin) is a talented attorney at a top New York law firm, a generous and loyal friend, and, unhappily, still single—as her engaged best friend Darcy (Kate Hudson) is constantly reminding her. But after celebrating her 30th birthday, perpetual good girl Rachel unexpectedly ends up in the arms of the guy she's had a crush on since law school, Dex (Colin Egglesfield)... who just happens to be Darcy's fiancé. As one thing leads to another in the frantic weeks leading up to Darcy's wedding, Rachel finds herself in an impossible situation, caught between her treasured friendship with Darcy and the love of her life. The romantic comedy "Something Borrowed" also stars John Krasinski as Ethan, Rachel's constant confidante and sometimes conscience, who is busy evading the affection of Darcy's hopelessly love-struck friend Claire (Ashley Williams) while harboring a secret crush of his own; and Steve Howey as the charming and irrepressible Marcus, whose designs on Rachel don't necessarily exclude any other woman who catches his eye. "Something Borrowed" is directed by Luke Greenfield ("The Girl Next Door") from a screenplay by Jennie Snyder Urman, based on the best-selling novel Something Borrowed, by Emily Giffin. It stars Academy Award® nominee Kate Hudson ("Almost Famous," "Nine"), Ginnifer Goodwin ("He's Just Not That Into You," HBO's "Big Love"), John Krasinski (TV's "The Office," "It's Complicated") Colin Egglesfield (TV's "Melrose Place") and Steve Howey ("Supercross"). The film is produced by two-time Oscar®-winning actress Hilary Swank ("Million Dollar Baby," "Boys Don't Cry"), Molly Mickler Smith ("The Blind Side," "P.S. I Love You"), Alcon Entertainment principals Broderick Johnson and Andrew A. Kosove, who earned a Best Picture Oscar® nomination for "The Blind Side," Aaron Lubin ("The Groomsmen") and Pamela Schein Murphy ("Purple Violets"), with Ellen H. Schwartz ("Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement") serving as executive producer. The creative filmmaking team includes director of photography Charles Minsky ("Valentine's Day"), production designer Jane Musky ("The Bounty Hunter"), editor John Axelrad ("Crazy Heart"), and costume designer Gary Jones ("Valentine's Day"). The music is composed by Alex Wurman. Alcon Entertainment presents a 2S Films Production, a Wild Oceans Films Production, a Luke Greenfield Film, "Something Borrowed," distributed by Warner Bros.
