Seeing Kate Hudson in a rom-com may be as expected as doing "The Electric Slide" at a wedding reception, but we're still definitely RSVP'ing to "Something Borrowed." Why? Well, it's adapted from one of the very best chick lit books ever, and it also stars other Hollywood Crush faves like Ginnifer Goodwin, Colin Egglesfield and John Krasinski.
The trailer for "Something Borrowed," due in theaters this summer, finally hit the web last night, and it looks as though Ms. Hudson was right—they're sticking pretty close to Emily Giffin's beloved best-seller.
The clip begins with us meeting Rachel (the always-adorable and oh-so-right-for-this part, Ginnifer) and Dex (Colin), law school classmates who clearly have a connection, until Rachel's self-centered BFF Darcy (Kate) swoops in on him.
Fast forward six years later to Rachel's 30th birthday bash (where the book actually starts) and after some libations she and Dex (who is now engaged to Darcy) wind up kissing in a cab and spending the night together.
The rest of the preview features snippets of Rachel and Dex struggling with what to do next, Rachel's pal Ethan (John) cracking jokes and offering up wise observations and the gang's fateful trip to the Hamptons (where, in the book, some pretty vital things happen).
There are definitely some chick flick-y touches added for effect, and there's a character that seems to be Dex's dad featured in the trailer (a character that isn't in the book) but, overall, we're still pretty pleased with what we saw. Plus, there's still plenty of time to read the book for the first (or second...or third) time before the movie hits theaters!
