Movie Review: He's Just Not That Into You

I remember when the self-help book came out... my friends and I all thought it was pretty funny and we used it as a catch-phrase quite frequently when discussing stupid boys and their unexplainable antics. So, when I saw the trailer for this movie I was actually interested in seeing this particular chick-flick (not a favorite genre of mine in general). Friday night, I went to the theater with a couple of friends, ready to sit back and be amused... but I was not - not really. Don't get me wrong; there were a number of really funny parts to it, but overall, I felt that the movie fell flat. The characters were losers. It was hard to relate or really empathize with any of them. I just kept thinking, "get a life already!" What I took away from the movie is that, girls, you are not the exception to the rule... until... you are. And guys, yes, even the most cynical of you can fall utterly, hopelessly in love with a girl. My recommendation: save your money. Rent it if you must, but don't rush to see it.
