On the day of her wedding a young woman's fiancé doesn't show up, sleeping off the results of the previous night's wild bachelor party. Miffed, the woman decides to go ahead with the wedding anyway to teach her fiancé a lesson, so she calls her lawyer, Henry, and has him stand in for her missing groom. She intends to divorce her new "husband" at the first opportunity, but Henry--who has been in love with her for a long time--is determined to win his "wife's" hand.

Something Borrowed

Something Borrowed

Something Borrowed is a dark romantic comedy about the disastrous, deeply sincere lengths people are willing to go to for love. On the morning of her wedding, Dani returns home bleeding from a botched robbery meant to fund her future. As she tries to hide the true nature of the attempt from both her co-conspiring maid of honor and her out-of-the-loop groom-to-be, panic escalates, secrets unravel, and every bad decision compounds the next as the clock ticks toward “I do.” Equal parts absurd and heartfelt, the film explores what happens when the American Dream feels just out of reach and desperation starts to look like devotion. Something Borrowed is messy, ridiculous, and kind of romantic — a wedding-day farce about love, survival, and caring just a little too hard with a loaded weapon.
