Jody Mitori · St. Louis Post-Dispatch 50.00/100.00

Doesn't break any new ground, but it is a decent way to spend a girls' night out.

Roger Ebert · Chicago Sun-Times 50.00/100.00

All of the characters are treated sincerely and played in a straightforward style. It's just that we don't love them enough.

J.R. Jones · Chicago Reader 50.00/100.00

A genial cast and moderately funny script prevail over the sort of sappy music cues and white-bread settings that have become the grating norm in Hollywood rom-coms.

Mick LaSalle · San Francisco Chronicle 50.00/100.00

Goodwin radiates probity and makes waiting almost look interesting, and so, for all the movie's awkwardness, it remains watchable.

Carrie Rickey · Philadelphia Inquirer 50.00/100.00

To paraphrase one of its few laughs, it's a zombie movie directed by Vera Wang.

Kimberley Jones · Austin Chronicle 50.00/100.00

Fairly uninspiring, but it still manages to ingratiate itself, largely through the efforts of Krasinski in a secondary part.

James Berardinelli · ReelViews 50.00/100.00

Overlong and at times tedious; the taste is gritty and lingers unpleasantly.

Pete Hammond · Boxoffice Magazine 70.00/100.00

The film is terrific: smart, sexy and funny.

Rex Reed · Observer 50.00/100.00

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.

Nick Pinkerton · Village Voice 50.00/100.00

It's clear that Something Borrowed finds it easier to tell us about relationships than to show us them under way.
