He's Just Not That into You

He’s Just Not That into You, a self improvement book written by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo published in 2004 came to the silver screen early in 2009. The book was named a New York Times best seller and has been very popular among women of all ages. Over the weekend my mom, sister, and I went to the see movie since we had heard nothing but good reviews about it from all of our friends. Even some guy friends suggested we saw it after they were dragged there over Valentines Day weekend to see it with their girlfriends, it even made the guys laugh at how true it was.

He’s Just Not That into You was stacked with famous actors. At every new introduction of a character it was like oh my gosh I didn’t know they were in this! The film follows the lives of a handful of girls who each need a wake-up call on reading signals from guys. The cast included: Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Ben Affleck, Ginnifer Goodwin, Jennifer Connelly, Scarlett Johansson, Justin Long, Bradley Cooper, Kevin Connolly, and Leonardo Nam. Each of whom although you may not know them by name were easily recognizable from their roles in other films. The cast did a phenomenal job and were incredible to watch as they worked together.

The funniest part about the movie wasn’t just the humor scattered throughout the dialog it was how true everything they were saying was. A few of my favorite quotes was from Justin Long’s character explaining to Ginnifer Goodwin, who played an over the top over analytical boy crazy looking for love in every guy kind-of-girl. Long pointed out a few things every girl should keep in mind:
1. If a guy treats you like he doesn’t give a sh*t, it’s because he doesn’t give a sh*t.
2. An excuse is a polite rejection. Men are not afraid of ‘ruining the friendship.’
3. If you can find him, then he can find you. If he wants to find you, he will.
4. Men don’t forget how much they like you, so put down the phone.
All of these points make the movie that much funnier because girls know they have all been in this position once or twice. All girls should see it, its great!
