I'm not really one for chick flicks, but it was student discount night at AMC and He's Just Not That Into You was the only movie my friend wanted to see. I'm also not one for preconceived notions, so I went along with her. Who knew, maybe I'd love it! Unfortunately, I just wasn't that into it.
Sorry to say, I don't often see mainstream movies. Not to sound like a snob or anything, but I usually stick to the independents, mostly because I'd rather see a drama then the same old rom-com I've seen a million times before. He's Just Not That Into fits right into that category. The script was pretty boring and predictable, but the worst part was that it had no depth. It glazed over the neuroses of the main characters, barely touching on their problems. As viewers, we know little about these characters, other than we are supposed to root for them. After all, they're all cute and funny! The characters who were supposed to be "deeper", such as Jennifer Connelly's Janine and Scarlett Johannsen's Anna, just came off as annoying. Predictably, and annoyingly, Anna states at the end of the movie that she's going to go off on a journey of self-discovery to India. But probably, we all already knew that anyway.
