He's Just Not That Into You

Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Connelly

A group of interconnected, Baltimore-based twenty- and thirtysomethings navigate their various relationships from the shallow end of the dating pool through the deep, murky waters of married life, try...( read more  read more... )ing to read the signs of the opposite sex--and hoping to be the exceptions to the "no-exceptions"; rule. Gigi just wants a man who says he'll call--and does--while Alex advises her to stop sitting by the phone. Beth wonders if she should call it off after years of committed singlehood with her boyfriend, Neil, but he doesn't think there's a single thing wrong with their unmarried life. Janine's not sure if she can trust her husband, Ben, who can't quite trust himself around Anna. Anna can't decide between the sexy married guy, or her straightforward, no-sparks standby, Conor, who can't get over the fact that he can't have her. And Mary, who's found an entire network of loving, supportive men, just needs to find one who's straight.

    The movie was sorta....lame. It started out slow...and just never really went anywhere. And then got typical as it went on.

    The parts that i enjoyed were seeing all the actors interact with each other...Jeniffer Aniston and Ben Afflecks story was great...and that was about it. ...( read more)I love Drew though....she does no wrong.

    A few years back, a failed comedian decided to write a lame book masquerading as a breakthrough relationship manual, stating the most obvious facts and cliches, making every woman out to be in oblivious denial, and every man out to be a jerk. For some baffling reason, Oprah gave...( read more) it her golden seal of approval and all of her zombie followers gobbled it up. Then, Drew Barrymore decided it needed to be a movie, and set out to produce it. Ugh.



    Now, let me say right off the bat I have no problem with romantic comedies. There are plenty that I like. Relationships between men and women are perfect fodder for comedy. But while mosty enjoyable, this film is kinda hit-and-miss, but succeeds due to an impressive cast.



    Yes, like the book, the movie essentially paints every guy as a jerk (to various degrees and in their own different ways), and every woman as in oblivious denial. Sure, there are plenty of funny and cute moments, but the factor that keeps this from being an even better film is the same one that plagues many similar ensemble films like Love Actually: Too many storylines.



    There are stories and characters you care about, and then there are the ones you don't - The ones that just make you spend every minute of their screentime waiting to get back to the ones you DO care about. Barrymore even casts herself in a completely pointless, tacked-on role that really has no purpose in the film. So the film feels spread too thin, especially over an unnecessary 2 hour and 20 minutes running time.



    What does work, and quite well, is the individual performances, most notably Ginnifer Goodwin and Justin Long. It's so great to see them together again after both getting their first big break on Ed. (WHEN will that come out on DVD?!!?) Unusual choices for the leads, to be sure, but they are perfect for their parts. The rest of the actors do fine as well, but they can only carry the film so far before it falls victim to the mediocrity of its source material. In all, it's a fairly amusing flick, but one that thinks it is far more insightful than it really is.



    *I give it bonus points for a scene involving/discussing the most underrated of John Hughes' films, Some Kind of Wonderful. I feel like I was the only person in the crowded theater who had a clue what they were talking about.

    A chick flick for those who enjoy the recent glitzy TV shows, like "Sex in the City", loaded with big name stars and pretty faces. Somehow I don't think its reinforcement of the male-centred world view would go down well with feminists.

    The only reason this movie got a 3 star rating was because my husband and I loved looking at the Baltimore scenery!

    It was alright.
    Really that's all there is to say about it because right after your done watching it you forget all about what happened.
    You'd expect more because it is such a stacked cast.
    They did the best they could but it was hard to actually care what happened to any of thes...( read more)e characters.

    As I'm watching this movie, I feel like it makes obvious and valid points - most importantly "If he doesn't call you, move on and don't make excuses". It continued to do well until the ending, which altogether flopped with the "Everyone lives happily ever after" feel, that took s...( read more)o long to explain everyone's happy ending. I assume the book handled this much better, but I can't say I really liked this movie. If it comes on again, I may watch it and judge it further, but right now I say it's not terrible, nor great - watch it if you want.
