“Not Into You” Not A Comedy But Worth The Watch

Posted in Entertainment at 7:36 am by Donna

I admit that I thought that “He’s Just Not That Into You” was a comedy but after watching it Saturday night I realized that a movie that deals with the awkward and sometimes warped stage of dating and relationships really can’t be all that funny!

The only laughs it gave me were ones of sarcastic disbelief at how screwed up people are in relationships!  How warped some see them, how warped some treat them and how warped they can become in a blink of an eye!

Oddly, I found myself rooting for the guys instead of the girls this time, which may have been the intent, I don’t know, but Ginnifer Goodwin’s character was really pathetic! <sorry Sweetie!  I think you’re fabulous!> I wish that I could take back all of the desperate things I did in the past but hey!  We’re only human!

And, because of her naivety we got to see a lot of Justin Long which is always a good thing!  I love that guy!

And to say that it’s really good to see Ben Affleck in a good movie role is an understatement!  Good job, Dude! Got a good wife, adorable baby and better decision making skills!  Growing up is painful but being grown-up ain’t all that bad, huh?

I was a little surprised at how Jennifer Aniston appeared a little old, <I am one of her biggest fans> but that may be how Drew Barrymore and the other executive producers wanted it.  Her clock is ticking…7 years with a guy and no commitment other than he’s been with you for 7 years! I really hate to see her so scrutinized!  The worst thing she could have ever done was being affiliated with Brad Pitt-Jolie!!

Scarlett Johansson was gorgeous and as you can see from IMDB, there are tons of cool actors in this movie!

Drew and her crew did a phenomenal job!  I loved the the style of the movie…it was very well done!  But like I said, if you’re like me and haven’t read the book or heard the hype, “not into you” is not really a comedy but it is worth the watch!

    I have been meaning to watch this for awhile now. Read the book (it wasnt all that good), hopefully the movie is better :-)

    Yea, I’m not sure that I could read the book having seen the movie. I’ve done the dating scene…it’s too painful to look back! :-)
