Product Description: THE BALTIMORE-SET MOVIE OF INTERCONNECTING STORY ARCS DEALS WITH THE CHALLENGES OF READING OR MISREADING HUMAN BEHAVIOR.
Amazon.com: 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

Rating: - I was just not that into it
I 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.
Rating: - a clunker despite all its star-power
An 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), ... Read More
Rating: - HJNTIY - a guide or a tradgedy?
After being bombarded with The Rules, Sex In The City, a stream of romantic comedies and the like, we are at last seeing these principals in action. "He's Just Not That Into You" has been yet another dating training film, and while we laugh at the mildly amusing we are supposed to see ourselves in these situations and change our behaviors. It is a shame that we put ourselves in these situations, but not that funny that we really do delude ourselves into thinking that something will come of a man who is, ... Read More
Rating: - Should be required viewing for all ladies
First of all, what's not to like about Jennifer Aniston. Secondly, this is a movie about why men don't commit (although by the end of the movie most do) and has value beyond its entertainment value. Its an easy watch with the right amount of humor and plot that keeps you interested.
Rating: - Just not that into it
Just ok for me. It was somewhat entertaining but I am glad I didn't pay big bucks to see it in the theater.
