Review of He's Just Not That Into You (2009) by Buggy B — 03 Mar 2014
Addictive but forgettable chick flick revolving around a group of (mostly neurotic) 20 and 30-somethings navigating their way through various relationships. I like these types of movies with interconnected stories and a who's who cast although I've seen better (Valentines Day, Love Actually) Decent ensemble here but most of the women are nuts and I found them frustrating to watch especially Ginnifer Goodwin, sitting by the phone, making desperate excuses for loser men.
When did life become solely about finding a man? Jennifer Connelly was also painful as a control freak with a cheating husband (Bradley Cooper) -I'd cheat with Scarlett Johansson too. Justin Long seemed miscast as the womanizing bartender and would have done better if he'd exchanged roles with Kevin Connelly, the needy real estate agent.
Ben Affleck takes a smaller role playing the commitment-phobe good guy and Jennifer Aniston goes about her usual "Rachelness" managing to look fantastic in a pair of jeans but still be a big loser where love is concerned.
Enjoyed the story arc at the wedding with her father (Kris Kristopherson) 02.27.14.
