The half-star rating goes to John Krasinski for heroically rising above this vile dung heap of a movie. Krasinski plays Ethan, the comic relief in a film that offers no relief from pretty people doing despicable things. Which would have been forgivable if they didn’t do it so witlessly.

The toxic queen is Darcy, played by Kate Hudson as if obnoxious equaled charm. She’s delusional. Hudson’s performance grates like two hours of nails on a blackboard. Yet Rachel (Ginnifer Goodwin, trapped), Darcy’s BFF, has been taking crap from this loudmouth since Darcy stole handsome Dex (Colin Egglesfield) from her in law school. Now Darcy and Dex the dud are getting married, just as Dex and Rachel realize they should have been together. But the lovers can’t stick it to Darcy. Why? They think this egotist is their friend. Kill me now. This revolting rom-com, adapted from Emily Giffin’s bestseller, could have been over in five minutes if everyone had buried Darcy on a Hamptons beach and waited for high tide. Something Borrowed is directed by Luke Greenfield, the perpetrator of the god-awful The Animal and The Girl Next Door. I can truthfully say Greenfield has done it again.

“Tonight's the Night”

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
