Witty, to the point, and a bit sad, He’s Just Not That Into You involves the worn out troubles of relationships, but at the same time is still an enjoyable movie

The film playfully bounces around the lives of six characters who all struggle with relationships, whether it be with marriage or dating. All loosely connected, the characters to some extent derive from Gigi, a young woman who has trouble reading the signals given by her dates. Gigi (Ginnifer Goodwin), confused and hopeless but at the same time amusing, gets dating advice from Alex (Jason Long), a bartender.

Other well known actors in the cast are Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck, and Scarlett Johansson. Read more…
