3 1/2 Stars ***'He's Just Not That Into You was originally meant by the authors for a funny/random coffee table book (perhaps for sale at an Urban Outfitters-esk store?) according to an Oprah interview. However, it's surprise success spawned the movie He's Just Not That Into You, which focuses on the harsh reality of the dating world. A comical look at the wistful delusions of women and the chauvinist and dumb-witted ways of men, the movie delivers just the right amount of romance with comedic timing.
The all star cast is balanced throughout the entire movie. No one person carries the film, which makes it a smorgasbord of pop-culture icons. The cast includes: (the cheesy) Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Connelly, Kevin Connolly, Bradley Cooper (two gentlemen that I have had a celebrity crush on for quite a while), Ginnfer Goodwin (who I looove), Scarlett Johansson, and Justin Long.
This is a true romantic-comedy . . . finally! The characters are believable and honest and the story line is genuinely funny, heart breaking, and most of all: realistic. Each person who watches this movie can relate to some aspect of it. Ginnfer Goodwin is my personal favorite character, probably because she reminds me most of myself when I was dating. However, each woman (and even man) in the film has a sliver of me in them. This funny, bright film leaves you with a smile on your face and just the right amount of cheesy to make even the toughest "man's man" have that little twinge of romance in his heart.
