Emily Giffin’s novel is witty and wonderful as is the movie the novel is based on. I originally saw this before reading the book and I fell in love with both of them. I have to say, despite the adultery, I love this movie. I sit back and watch it for him 99% of the time. He is arguably my favorite part of the movie. He also brings the comic relief in what could be a very stirring movie–adultery does not tend to sit well with people. Ethan becomes the voice of reason needed to push Rachel.
However,Įthan’s role in the film is major, anyone who has seen the film can attest to that fans of John Krasinski definitely know this role is huge as he makes us laugh and swoon as the lovable Ethan. In the novel, we only see Ethan in a few, brief instances before moving front in center in Giffin’s sequel, Something Blue. Instead of removing the character, the movie people combined Hillary with the character, Ethan. Hillary is Rachel’s confidant as well as the moral compass in the novel as Rachel navigates the uncharted territory she finds herself in. But, Hollywood cut one character, Hillary. There is no question that these actors played their roles well. Ginnifer Goodwin is Rachel, Kate Hudson is Darcy, and Colin Egglesfield is Dex. The characters essential to the story remain present as the core focus of the movie. The novel and the movie share some typical similarities that one would see in a film adaptation. This radical move blows everything up, but it also, in the end, changes her life in a positive way. Rachel’s life turns outside down–the good girl she was becomes just as memory as she begins an affair with Dex. When Rachel turns 30, she realizes there is one thing she is missing and his name is Dex, also known as Darcy’s fiancé. If you happened to have missed my book review, “ Book Review: Something Borrowed,” this wonderful novel follows the life of protagonist, Rachel White as she tries to find what is missing in her life at the novel’s start, she is a practicing lawyer, she has her close friends Darcy and Hillary, and she seemingly has her life sorted out, but it all changes once she turns 30.
If you caught the book review that precedes this, you already know my feelings on the Emily Giffin’s novel, Something Borrowed.
