HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU

SUMMARY: This romance movie (first a novel) is about getting past denial and facing the truth about how the opposite sex feels about you.  When it comes to love and relationships there are many signals that get misinterpreted, and this movie has most of them figured out.

ACTING: The acting was not the best I've seen in a romance but there were some good performances.  Jennifer Aniston did an amazing job with bringing emotion as well as comedy to the scene.  Ginnifer Goodwin also was a shinning star in the film, naive and stupid as she was, it was apparent that her role was to show the fairy tale version of love.  Yet, the person I was most displeased with was Drew Barrymore, it seemed that she had learned her lines about ten minutes before filming.  Besides her though, everyone else did a fair job.

SCRIPT: The script was quite entertaining.  There were hits and misses for the comedy but the emotion was in the right place. 

CINEMATOGRAPHY: Normal camera views.  Sometimes the fade to black was kind of random and transitions needed work.

RE-WATCHABILITY: If you've watched this movie once the twist wouldn't amuse anyone again but its still a sweet and lovely film.  Not on the same level with The Notebook but the romance is still there and could bring a tear to someone's eye.... somewhere out there...

PLOT: Quite a genius topic because of how current the dating situations are today.  A lot of the twists were easily figured out but with the huge amount of characters there were still good surprises at the end.

RATING: Started off ☃☃ but got bumped to ☃☃☃.
