This movie reminds me of Romeo and Juliet though I have only seen the commercials. In the play, Romeo loves Rosalind, but she doesn't love him back. He is heart-broken and only wishes he could find love. Juliet is about to be engaged to Paris, and Shakespeare is clear that they are not meant to be together. In the end, Romeo and Juliet find each other and live happily ever after. In Something Borrowed, there are role reversals. The main girl is like Romeo, and the main guy is like Juliet. She loves him, but it's unrequited. He becomes engaged to her best friends which makes their love even more forbidden. The commercials allude to the fact that they will fall in love and live happily ever after as well. With a modern twist, the story lines are very similar. All in all, I love the play and can't wait to see the more modern movie!
