He's Just Not That Into You

Yesterday a few of the "girls" got together to see He's Just Not That Into You. I was prepared to sit through a simpering chick flick, instead I found myself engrossed in this entertaining romantic comedy. The title "He's Just Not That In To You" was originally a single line in an episode of Sex and the City. Ken Kwapis used the line as the title of his self help book* about dating and relationships. Screenwriters, Marc Silverstein and Abby Kohn (Never Been Kissed and Opposite Sex) show a realistic look at dating and relationships: good, bad, frustrating, and satisfying. The ensemble of actors (Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Connelly, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Connolly, Scarlett Johansson, Bradley Cooper, Justin Long, and Ben Affleck) make this romantic "not always so comedic" movie a pleasure to watch. Ginnifer Goodwin as Gigi is delightful. If you miss this at the theater girls, rent it.

Check it out... "He's Just Not That In To You"* is available at the library in print (306.7 BEH) and audio (AB/CD 306.7 BEH) and Never Been Kissed is available on DVD (DVD NEV).
