Boxoffice Magazine
The film is terrific: smart, sexy and funny. - 50
Observer
If you have already begun to suspect that Something Borrowed may be something less than the sum of its parts-all of which do indeed seem borrowed from other movies and TV rom-coms too numerous to mention-you are right. - 50
Village Voice
It's clear that Something Borrowed finds it easier to tell us about relationships than to show us them under way. - 45
Movieline
As horrific as Something Borrowed is, it's compelling in its own sick way. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
Doesn't so much borrow from other movies as settle into a comfort zone of raising provocative questions regarding love, commitment and marriage only to dismiss them with a brush of a hand as so much dandruff. - 40
Variety
Try as she might, Hudson can't turn Darcy into a three-dimensional character: She's astonishingly easy to dislike, but not nearly amusing enough in what could have been an unforgettable camp performance. - 40
Time Out
This rom-com certainly has something old, something borrowed and something blue-the something new, however, is MIA. - 38
Orlando Sentinel
Thank heavens Krasinski, at least, had the screenwriter's ear. He makes every one-liner land. "The Hamptons are like a zombie movie directed by Ralph Lauren."
