Filmography

Something Borrowed ()

Something Borrowed () was Urman's first project writing for film, based on Emily Giffin's novel of the same name.

Critic A. O. Scott, reviewing Urman's script in Luke Greenfield's Something Borrowed for The New York Times, described the film as "a well-meaning comedy of marriage that seems ardently committed to the blandness of its characters."[9] Urman received criticism for the dialogue in particular.

Scott criticized not only the characterization, but also the diction, quoting from the film.[9]

Personal

Urman graduated from Princeton University in with a BA in English and a Certificate from the Program in Theater.[2] She is married to Jamie Urman, a cinematographer, with whom she has two children.[1]

Urman has said she is often questioned about her "work-life balance…[which] strikes me as sort of funny, because it's not something that often gets asked of men in this business.

It's been a balancing act, and I feel lucky that I found a true partner in my husband. We support each other in all aspects of life, so when my work-life balance gets out of whack, he steps up and takes off of work to be home with the kids, something I'm really grateful for."[2]
