He's Just Not That Into You, a film that attempts to help bridge the communication gaps that naturally occur between men and women soared in the box office as well as in women’s minds during the first weekend of February.
The film follows multiple characters and how they deal with the men and even women relationships in their lives pointing out the obvious signs most people don’t pick up on, but the film so cleverly points out.
Usually I find that most men aren't big fans of romantic comedies like this one, mostly because the entire plot is given away in the two minute teaser trailer; but I observed a significant amount of men in the audience on opening night when I went to go see this with four of my closest girlfriends in Orlando, Florida.
I did discover that there were some good performances in this film from:
•Ginnifer Goodwin, who plays the overbearing single woman who just wants to find “the one”.
•Bradley Cooper, who cheats on his newlywed wife just to be in another “relationship” even though he will never leave his wife.
•Justin Long, who plays the good guy friend approach.
•Scarlett Johansson who everyone loves to hate as she is the center of not only a single man’s obsession, but a married man’s as well.
With that noted, the film did a good job of addressing the complexities of relationships in the “real world” through the multiple characters in the plot. Though I believe there was still room for improvement as there were still some still clichés in the movie that made it a bit dull and familiar.
Overall, He’s Just Not That Into You did achieve the classic romantic comedy moments along with interesting and comical noticeable dating advice throughout the film.
