He's Just Not That Into You (2009) Film Review

Plot Summary - Romantic comedy following the stories of a number of characters, male and female, the main story being about a gal named Gigi (Ginnifer Goodwin) who just can't seem to meet a fellow who will call her back after the first date! Becoming a bit stalkish, she meets a bar owner who starts to help her in her pursuit of meeting Mr. Right, by letting her know when her latest fellow is "just not that into her". Other stories: a man who meets a sexy blonde (Scarlett Johansson) at a quickie mart, where they exchange cards - thing is, he's married; - - a woman (Jennifer Aniston) desperate for marriage to her seven-year live-in boyfriend - thing is, he won't bite; - - a gal (Drew Barrymore) who communicates with all the men she meets via online or various mobile connections - never in person; plus assorted other characters who all seem to interconnect with each other.

Review - I thought this film was good - entertaining, not as totally good as I had hoped (based on the ads). Drew Barrymore has a pretty small part compared to the amount she was featured in the TV ad spots for this film, I must say. Typical sort of romantic comedy fare that seems to be being produced these days, cute, entertaining, but not great. Rating - 8/10 stars
