    Stereotypical, derivative flick. A few solid performances but the actors were put in dull situations with cliche dialogue.

    I think the critics generally missed it on this one. I'm normally not one for average Hollywood chick-flick garbage, but what this one lacks in depth, it makes up for in quality performances, and an honesty in message. The characters that you hope fail do, and the people you root for make it. And it's got a true message - you can't be neurotic about relationships, or you�39;ll psyche yourself out of ever finding a good one. If any one storyline in the movie was drawn out into it's own feature, it'd suck royally. But maybe that's why so many romantic comedies are stupid, that they try to make a shallow concept into something we've already seen before. This one at least cuts out all the erroneous stuff. And it's not done poorly. What's so wrong with that? Expand

    Another chick flick, save your money and rent it when you need points with your wife or girlfriend.

    A relationship movie with multiple narratives and a slew of speaking parts is bound to have an extraneous character or two; somebody who makes the film seem overbloated, and sometimes redundant, every time that person appears on screen. Arguably, "He's Just Not That Into You" doesn't need Mary(Drew Barrymore), since one single girl looking for love is more than enough, especially if she's a hopeless romantic with just the right amount of self-deprecating charm, like Gigi. Played by Ginny Goodwin, the relatively unknown black-haired cutie more than holds her own against the big named ensemble cast. The audience knows the drill; the drill can be tiresome, but she and Alex(Justin Long) are the exception to the rule. The drill is made fun in spite of its predictability, because the flummoxed bartender looks disarmingly candid in his flummoxing state; he's downright dumbfounded by Gigi's ability to unmake him. The flummoxed bartender's meltdown in front of his bar staff has the ring of truth. Love invents him: to paraphrase the title of Amy Bloom's first novel, or rather, re-invents him. The other wobbly character in this Altmanesque take on modern romance is Conor(Kevin Connoly), who might have been more interesting if the real estate agent's bid to attract prospective gay home buyers coincided with a latent homosexuality that was real, instead of a ploy to drum up business. It makes cosmic sense who he eventually ends up within the filmic universe of "He's Just Not That Into You". Expand

    This is a really good movie. It funny, entertaining and poke some fun at what people go through in relationships. There are some serious parts, but they come without dragging the movie down. Excellent writing, well acted. Go see this movie, you'll enjoy it.

    Better than I expected, very real and not just one of those "girl meets guy, bad thing happens, guy wins girl back" movies.

    I cringed throughout the first half of the movie because of how extreme the actors were playing the obsessive girl. The saving grace were Ben and Jennifer Aniston.

    this is a great movie in all ways - a When Harry Met Sally for now and a movie that is as important to being female as Mean Girls is for a younger age group - i don't know why it wasn't widely praised - not for awards [although it's so well done], just for everything - the experience of watching it, the entertainment of it, the value of teaching and shedding light on a subject that matters - it's a great movie and every girl should see it by the time she turns 18 - as a rite of passage in this culture - Expand

    This movie finally answered some questions about guys it was great, straight forword and real. a movie that people can relate to is always going to be good, they should make more movies like this one. i like the big names like jennifer anistan and brew barrymore not haveing that big parts but still adding to the story line, good movie.

    Exactly what the romantic comedy genre (if one can even give it the noteworthy distinction of being one) doesn't need, "He's..." reinforces stereotypes, taints several actors' careers, and fails miserably to complete its objective of telling women to take initiative in their mythical pursuit of the One: that awfully misleading, platonic lock-and-key model for love that has managed to deceive millions around the world.

    I thought this movie was enjoyable and entertaining. It won't get nominated for any awards and the characters could have been a more passionate, but overall it was satisfying.

    Good movie about relationships with first-rate performances from an outstanding cast. Not as fluffy as I thought it might be. This movie actually makes some very good points, and it's entertaining while doing so. I liked the fact that it had a lot of different characters because it was able to show several different types of relationships. Tip: stick around for the credits.

    The characters were poorly developed and the plot lines were both contrived and weak. One could almost feel the more talented actors cringing within as they had to speak some of the uninspired dialogue. By the conclusion of the movie, I had developed no empathy for ANY of the players. This is in sharp contrast to the film, "Love, Actually" which is of the same genre, but a far superior film.

    Not Oscar-worthy, but entertaining. I found myself to be interested the entire time, because there were so many story lines. I wouldn't have minded the movie being longer, just because I wanted to see more character/storyline development.

    Went to see this movie expecting some lighthearted fun and a few amusing observations on romantic relationships- and that's exactly what I got. It's a fun, bubbly piece that makes raises a few good questions about dating and relationships in the 21st century, though I think some parts were quite superfluous, like the Sex&the City inspired supposedly-witty monologues from random people on the street. The characters themselves, however, are mostly well portrayed, and as there are so many, the average viewer is certain to identify with at least one of them. Gigi's clinginess manages to come off as endearing rather than irritating and her antics arouse both amusement and empathy which, in my opinion, makes her the most original and loveable character in the film. All in all, an entertaining piece in which everybody can find at least a part of their own (romantic) personality! Expand

    Cute comedy, nicely pieced together and the cast is terrific. Amusing screenplay. Professionally done. I am not sure why so many negative reviews, I thought it was enjoyable.

    Hmmm...posits that women everywhere are nothing but silly, hopelessly dumb, manipulative, pathetic cute little creatures. A complete insult and further proof that modern morality is absolutely bankrupt!

    Better than I thought it would be, but still far from a good movie. Its decent. It is overly dramatic and the romance is overanalyzed to an inch of its life. It views well as an examination into social interactions and romance, but as a movie it just doesn't work as smoothly. It is entertaining however, and you do want to find out what happens to the characters... at least I did.

    There's nothing cute about this garbage. In fact, it smells ... and is just plain stupid and insulting. And, if you think this is a comedy forget it, it'a bore. I spent too much time figuring this out, so go save yourself.

    I really like this movie. I'm not usually a fan of ensemble casts, I tend to get lost, but this one worked well. I really liked how the characters represented different ages;20's, 30's, 40's.

    Good movie to see after it's been out for a while. Could have waited until it released on DVD. Great casting but too yuppie. Baltimore was a good choice for the movie.

    The film is solid for the most part, however, a couple of the plotlines - Aniston's in particular - barely get any time to develop and seem mostly like filler. The film's ending goes completely defies the film's messages (and title) - characters inexplicably act exactly as they said they would not, all for the sake of having a cheap Hollywood happy ending. Even so, solid performances and a couple strong plotlines make this a worthwhile watch. Expand

    There are too many characters in this film and the screen time is so limited that you don't get to care for any of them, or for whats going to happen with their relationships. Its like the screen writers just thought that grabbing any big name actors/actressess would more than compensate for the weak script. Very predictable, you know who's relationships will end, who'll get with who and etc, I was so bored that I was more focused on how much I needed a drink as opposed to the actual film. Expand

    Very stupid movie. It is so very obvious that the actors are acting out a (bad) script, what they say never sounds natural. The females are depicted as dumb dolls with only one brain cell, and that brain cell is utterly obsessed with reeling in the guy. Completely not watchable, the endless and senseless chatter is just nauseating. I don't think even girls like that sort of wannabe comedy. It is just not funny. Expand

    I don't see the point of getting all the stars to act when the movie is cheesy to its core. Typical, boring and lousy lines. Nothing special about this movie. I'm so sorry, fans.

    One of my favorite movies. I learned a lot from the book to movie. I loved the love story between Ginnifer Goodwin and Justin Long. I loved the concept of rule and exception.

    Has this film not been made a million times except in this case there really is no reason at all for making it. It is not Christmas or some other joyous occasion. It wasn't awful but it wasn't good either. If you like watching boring films then this may be the one for you.

  1. 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?

    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.

    While "Love, Actually" succeeded in providing well-developed characters in (mostly) interesting situations, He's Just Not That Into You is often flat with subplots that feel rushed and/or contrived.
