Based on the big selling self-help manual, He's Just Not That Into You is a comedy about the miscommunications in romantic relationships.
The stellar ensemble cast includes Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johansson, Ben Affleck, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Connelly and Ginnifer Goodwin - that's mega wattage star power. Maybe they blew their budget on pretty faces, because the writers enlisted to adapt their book have Never Been Kissed as the biggest title on their resumes. Director Ken Kwapis has been heavily involved in Malcolm in the Middle and the American The Office though.Less

It’s perhaps Freudian that I was talking to someone about this film and they misheard it as He’s Just Not That Interesting. On reflection, none of the guys in this multi-stranded relationship movie are that interesting. Not Ben Affleck as the marriage-shy guy who's just been given an ultimatum by longtime girlfriend Jennifer Aniston.

If all you ask for is a few gay jokes, a perky score, pretty shots of Baltimore, and some clever but callow observations of sexual mores in the city, He's Just Not That Into You is an amiable enough night out.

No one has anything to distract them from the minutiae of their love lives, which they proceed to incinerate through overanalysis. It's a moral fable, maybe, if you make half a million a year.

Whenever faced with another puerile movie ostensibly about women, I play a little game called What Would Thelma and Louise Do?

The result is a bit like a weightless swirl of cotton candy with a mere second of sweetness before it dissolves on your tongue. But then there's nothing wrong with cotton candy, and besides, the filmmakers never promised more. I guess they're just not into that.

All of this results in way too much relationship chatter and not nearly enough comedy, romance or even dysfunctional relationships. We want to laugh -- but at what?
