Editorial Review:
THE BALTIMORE-SET MOVIE OF INTERCONNECTING STORY ARCS DEALS WITH THE CHALLENGES OF READING OR MISREADING HUMAN BEHAVIOR.
Description of He's Just Not That Into You:
Based on the bestseller by two Sex and the City scribes, He's Just Not That Into You confirms that the HBO series was more than just a television show--it was a cultural institution that spawned tours, catchphrases, fashion trends, and more. Ironically, the resulting film is both smarter and funnier than the big-screen version of Carrie and the gang. Of the nine central characters, the sweet, if clueless Gigi (Big Love's Ginnifer Goodwin) makes the most vivid impression. The Maryland career girl tends to fall for friendly guys, like Conor (Entourage's Kevin Connolly), who are "just not that into" her. At a local watering hole, she meets bar manager Alex (Justin Long, Goodwin's Ed co-star), who sets her straight about the difference between what men say and what they mean, adding that there are exceptions to every rule. Her seemingly settled co-workers, Beth (Jennifer Aniston) and Janine (Jennifer Connelly), have relationship issues of their own: Beth's boyfriend of seven years, Neil (Ben Affleck), doesn't believe in marriage, and Janine's husband, Ben (Bradley Cooper), has a wandering eye... for singer/yoga instructor Anna (Scarlett Johansson). Alt-weekly ad saleswoman Mary (executive producer Drew Barrymore) provides the link between this loose-knit community. An avid Internet dater and full-time technophile, she bemoans the fact that "people don't meet each other organically anymore." At 132 minutes, Ken Kwapis's movie could use a few trims, but he brings these complicated romantic entanglements to a convincing conclusion and the confessions from random passers-by add to the laughs. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
He's Just Not That Into You Reviews:
Fantastic Movie!! 
2009-11-29 - I loved this movie the cast was amazing it was funny and all around a great time!!
Great Movie 
2009-11-17 - I read the book and it was good, but I liked the movie, it really makes you wonder how guys behave.
"I'm Just Not Into This Movie" 
2009-11-16 - this movie made me GAG. seriously. HORRIBLE movie, don't waste your time. for all the great stars in this flick, they sure could have done a LOT better. ugh.
Just not that funny 
2009-11-01 - First, this movie does a great job of displaying the hard truth about how desperate women are, and that sometimes a guy just isn't interested. That might be hard for some to swallow, but some people need to learn that. The movie has an all-star cast, but only a few deliver. I thought that Jennifer Aniston and the guy from the Mac commercials did a good job. However, this movie was just not funny at all. And they could really make a funny movie out of this topic. It was a big missed oppourtunity. I did not smile, laugh or chuckle at all during the entire movie. Also, it was WAY too long. It felt very dragged out and I had to force myself to watch the whole thing. I can't see how this a romantic comedy. It was more of a drama. Overall this movie was boring and wasn't funny at all. I was dissapointed and would not reccomend it.
Watchable, at best 
2009-10-27 - The Bottom Line:
This ensemble romantic piece is never very funny or moving and there are a million movies out there which can generate more laughs or tears, but at the same time I couldn't bring myself to hate it; sure it has no real ambition towards being a good film and waslittle more than a mercenary attempt to get couples into theaters around Valentine's Day, but it's watchable and never mean-spirited, so if you want something stupid to watch with your date you could do worse.
2.5/4
