I think the critics generally missed it on this one. I'm normally not one for average Hollywood chick-flick garbage, but what this one lacks in depth, it makes up for in quality performances, and an honesty in message. The characters I think the critics generally missed it on this one. I'm normally not one for average Hollywood chick-flick garbage, but what this one lacks in depth, it makes up for in quality performances, and an honesty in message. The characters that you hope fail do, and the people you root for make it. And it's got a true message - you can't be neurotic about relationships, or you'll psyche yourself out of ever finding a good one. If any one storyline in the movie was drawn out into it's own feature, it'd suck royally. But maybe that's why so many romantic comedies are stupid, that they try to make a shallow concept into something we've already seen before. This one at least cuts out all the erroneous stuff. And it's not done poorly. What's so wrong with that?… Expand

this is a great movie in all ways - a When Harry Met Sally for now and a movie that is as important to being female as Mean Girls is for a younger age group - i don't know why it wasn't widely praised - not for awards [although this is a great movie in all ways - a When Harry Met Sally for now and a movie that is as important to being female as Mean Girls is for a younger age group - i don't know why it wasn't widely praised - not for awards [although it's so well done], just for everything - the experience of watching it, the entertainment of it, the value of teaching and shedding light on a subject that matters - it's a great movie and every girl should see it by the time she turns 18 - as a rite of passage in this culture -… Expand

Very stupid movie. It is so very obvious that the actors are acting out a (bad) script, what they say never sounds natural. The females are depicted as dumb dolls with only one brain cell, and that brain cell is utterly obsessed with reelingVery stupid movie. It is so very obvious that the actors are acting out a (bad) script, what they say never sounds natural. The females are depicted as dumb dolls with only one brain cell, and that brain cell is utterly obsessed with reeling in the guy. Completely not watchable, the endless and senseless chatter is just nauseating. I don't think even girls like that sort of wannabe comedy. It is just not funny.… Expand

A relationship movie with multiple narratives and a slew of speaking parts is bound to have an extraneous character or two; somebody who makes the film seem overbloated, and sometimes redundant, every time that person appears on screen. A relationship movie with multiple narratives and a slew of speaking parts is bound to have an extraneous character or two; somebody who makes the film seem overbloated, and sometimes redundant, every time that person appears on screen. Arguably, "He's Just Not That Into You" doesn't need Mary(Drew Barrymore), since one single girl looking for love is more than enough, especially if she's a hopeless romantic with just the right amount of self-deprecating charm, like Gigi. Played by Ginny Goodwin, the relatively unknown black-haired cutie more than holds her own against the big named ensemble cast. The audience knows the drill; the drill can be tiresome, but she and Alex(Justin Long) are the exception to the rule. The drill is made fun in spite of its predictability, because the flummoxed bartender looks disarmingly candid in his flummoxing state; he's downright dumbfounded by Gigi's ability to unmake him. The flummoxed bartender's meltdown in front of his bar staff has the ring of truth. Love invents him: to paraphrase the title of Amy Bloom's first novel, or rather, re-invents him. The other wobbly character in this Altmanesque take on modern romance is Conor(Kevin Connoly), who might have been more interesting if the real estate agent's bid to attract prospective gay home buyers coincided with a latent homosexuality that was real, instead of a ploy to drum up business. It makes cosmic sense who he eventually ends up within the filmic universe of "He's Just Not That Into You".… Expand
