So I finally got around to watching He’s Just Not That Into You, and I can’t begin to tell you how pleasantly surprised I was by this modern telling of multiple love triangles. Well actually I can tell you, so that cliche I just spat out is sort of pointless.
The Truth
He’s Just Not That Into You is a collection of stories about young adults who are looking for love, currently in love or who have been in love. The stories are all really well played out and interesting, with each of them having a different twist in the end.
The film really is similar to the film Singles, very similar in fact. The story follows the lives of:
Gigi and Alex, (Justin Long)
Janine, Ben and Anna (Jennifer Connelly) (Bradley Cooper)(Scarlett Johansson)
Conor, Anna, and Mary (Kevin Connolly)(Scarlett Johansson)(Drew Barrrymore)
Beth and Neil (Jennifer Aniston)(Ben Affleck)
Anyways, the four stories are interesting and pretty intense, with special notice being paid to Scarlett Johansson’s character in the film. Scarlett strips down to pretty sexy lingerie in a couple scenes, almost showing us her naked body.
Why should I watch it?
The stories are interesting and moving, with lessones to be learned by all in the end.
What’s bad about it?
You’re partner may question your own relationship at the end of it all.
You’ll Like It If
If you liked the film Singles, you’ll love ‘He’s Just Not That Into You.
What I learned
In the end, the love that you make, is the love that you take.
The Verdict
He’s Just Not That into You surpassed my expectations and his a soft spot deep inside me I forgot I had. Rent the video if you haven’t already, it’s a real decent move to watch if you are in the mood for drama and romance, plus the cast is some of the most powerful in Hollywood.
