It sounds simple, but the movie is funny and hits the nail on the head. It has many actors that are intertwined by work, family or friends.I found this film as entertaining and funny. I did not see awards, but something to laugh at. I'm into it.He's Just Not That Into You is a cute and refreshing romantic comedy. Jennifer Connelly, Jennifer Aniston, and Ginnifer Goodwin make this film worth watching. I love how honest this film is when it comes to the complicated topic of modern relationships. I highly recommend checking this breezy film out, enjoy!;0)I loved the concept of the movie regardless of the big casting of actors. Some story lines are so true and I can relate with some its a great girlfriend night watch movie. Wasn't expecting it to be goodI was just not that into itI don't think it's any secret that this movie came to be because the filmmakers capitalized on an episode of "Sex and the City". Maybe I should say, "they tried to capitalize". I found this movie irritating and annoying, but maybe certain girls might like it and I suppose keeping the equality in tact, some guys. The film is watchable but bogged down in one grinding cliche after another. The cast is great and are able to at least keep you watching even if the premise is lame.a clunker despite all its star-powerAn all-star cast - Ben Affleck, Jennifer Anniston, Jennifer Connelly, Kevin Connolly, Drew Barrymore, Bradley Cooper, Ginnifer Goodwin, Scarlett Johansson, Justin Long and Kris Kristofferson - hits the skids in "He's Just Not That Into You," a supposedly insightful and epic look into the complex dynamics of man/woman relationships that could single-handedly turn members of both sexes off romance forever.In this misguided endeavor (the only thing really clever about it is the title), it's hard to tell which gender comes off worse - the women, who are all portrayed as needy, insecure, controlling, man-hungry whiners, or the men, who are all inconsiderate, self-centered louts. And this battle-of-the-sexes face-off goes on for a grueling two hours and nine minutes. The specific details of the romantic roundelay the characters put us through doesn't really bear repeating here. Suffice it to say that the actors do what they can with the material - the movie was written by Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein (based on the novel by Greg Berhrendt and Liz Tuccillo) and directed by Ken Kwapis - and that most of the characters manage to see the errors of their ways in time for the obligatory happy ending (could that possibly qualify as a plot "spoiler"? Only if you have never seen a romantic comedy before, I suppose). Barrymore does get off a few choice lines about how hard it is to date in a world dominated by email, cell phones, text messaging, voicemail, and a whole host of other technological gadgets that actually make communication MORE difficult rather than less so, but that's pretty much it in the laughs department. And a couple of other points: why is it that, in a movie that takes place in a modern urban setting, the producers couldn`t cast even one person of color in a major role (there are plenty of them in the background appearing as waiters, however)? And what's with all the gay guys, with their limp-wristed affectations and "You go, girl!" theatrics? Frankly, I thought we'd gotten past all that by this point. It isn't even a matter of being politically correct; it`s a matter of creating a credible environment for the movie to tell its story in. If you're interested in watching a genuinely great romantic comedy, skip "He's Just Not That Into You" and check out the 1967 classic "Two For the Road," starring Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney, and see how truly insightful and thoughtful a movie romance can be! Product DescriptionRemember that really cute guy who said he'd call....and didn't? Maybe He's Just Not That Into You. An all-star cast - Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Connelly, Kevin Connolly, Bradley Cooper, Ginnifer Goodwin, Scarlett Johansson and Justin Long - looks for love and finds laughs in this savvy, sexy, right-now romcom. Based on the runaway (like some guys you know) bestseller by Sex and the City series writers Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo, He's Just Not That Into You sparkles with zingy aha moments any survivor of the dating wars will recognize. See it with someone you'd like to love.Amazon.comBased 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.
