Something Borrowed

So, it's Friday night and we're all set to watch a movie only to realize we didn't like any of our movies. So at 7:30 pm, Aislinn and I are looking for a Redbox. Smart idea, right? It was until we realized everyone else had that same idea. All of the good movies were gone. So we grabbed a few movies and went home.

We ended up watching "Something Borrowed" with Ginnifer Goodwin (Rachel), Kate Hudson (Darcy), John Krasinski (Ethan), and Colin Egglesfield (Dex). Rachel and Darcy are best friends; Darcy is engaged to Dex who Rachel has beein in love with since college. Ethan is Rachel's best friend and is in love with her. Dex secretly loves Rachel. So if you thought that was confusing, the movie is just awful. The banter is hilarious, no doubt. But the movie itself was just horrible. And the ending!! I'm still upset over that ending. I literally hated the protagonist when it was over. I was ranting about it the next day and everyone was making fun of me. But it was the worst possible ending to a movie. Period.

I think Ethan was my favorite character. He was straight-forward and honest throughout the whole thing. He was under-appreciated, too. But during one of the several arguments in this movie, Rachel punches Ethan in the nose. Classy, right? Well, this is the conversation that followed:
Rachel: Your an a**hole!
Ethan: Yeah maybe I am. But I am the only a**hole here that gives a s**t about you.

After the movie ended and I'm trying to go to sleep, but still so very angry (I don't know why this movie made me so angry. Lol!) and I couldn't get this part out of my head. How often to I care so much about people who don't really care about me? Who don't care about my feelings, opinions, or whether or not I'm even there? I'm expected to be there, but do they really care if I'm not? I'm expected to care and assist and be there for them, but are they ever there for me when I need them? Is my inability to make a decision keeping everyone else happy while I sit in misery?

So, thank you, "Something Borrowed", for not only making me hate you, but haunting my thoughts, too.
