Not "That Bad"

Warning: Spoilers
**Spoiler Alert** It wasn't that great, but it wasn't that bad either. I did read the books - first, there is so much depth and emotions to most of the characters, even Darcy and her relationship with Rachel, that it's near impossible to transcend onto the big screen. I did not go in with grand expectations, so I wasn't thoroughly disappointed, although I do believe they could have done more to develop the relationship between Rachel and Dex. I think that's the reason why Dex appeared so shallow -in scenes where he "cried", Colin Egglesfield also looked like he was battling a severe case of constipation instead of a moral conundrum...I really enjoyed watching John Krasinski as Ethan, and although I'm not a terribly huge fan of Kate Hudson, she did well as Darcy. I won't lie, in the book, I cried when Dex moved on from Rachel, but in the movie, I did shed tears when Darcy confronted Rachel about her betrayal. That was probably one of the most "real" scenes of the movie. In hindsight, I think it would have been a nice touch to have Rachel "narrate" the movie from behind the scenes - so that way, it would connect the audience more to her innermost feelings and if they decided to make Something Blue, they could do the same for Darcy.
