There is good news for those of us who love romantic comedies - Emily Griffin has written 5 books! I have not read any of them but yesterday Ron and I went to see Something Borrowed, the first one of her books made in to a movie. What a pleasant experience.
The movie stars Kate Hudson, Ginnifer Goodwin, John Krasinski and Colin Egglesfield. The main character is Rachel played by Ginnifer. Aside from the funny way her name is spelled, there is nothing I don't like about this beautiful girl. She has the most expressive face and is so believable. Kate Hudson plays her self-absorbed best friend, Darcy. It's funny how self-centered she is; unfortunately, there is nothing in the movie to explain why she is this way or why she drinks so much. This would be my only real criticism of the movie.
John Krasinski is Ethan, Rachel's other best friend who only has her best interests at heart. He steals every scene he is in - very funny and sincere. (I loved him in Away We Go - check it out). The only unknown for me was Colin Egglesfield. This young man is alarmingly good looking and perfect as the fiance of Darcy but the real love of Rachel. The movie was completely satisfying for me and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good love story. If I gave out stars for my reviews I would give it 3 3/4 stars out of 4!
By the way, I saw the first trailer for the last Harry Potter movie last night - OMG! I can't wait to see it! I have high hopes for a good movie summer!

Nothing like a good movie review to whet one's appetite. I might even check out the books.
