Movie Review- He’s Just Not That Into You!

Boys, watch out! The movie “He’s Just Not That Into You” has women switching up their game on the playing field.

Beware, because this new phenomenon could be sweeping over potential girlfriends and future wives right now!

The secret is out thanks to bestselling authors Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo, who inspired the movie that women are raving about. Boys, good luck getting a girl to call first. Women that have seen this movie will know better than that.

The movie’s all-star cast includes Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Connelly, Scarlett Johansson, and Justin Long.

The plot follows the intricately woven love lives of nine unique individuals. Each relationship faces an obstacle so realistic, it will spook audiences out of their seats. Whether they identify with the character themselves, or they know someone that could, it’s enough to leave them standing face-to-face with the scary truth.

The movie is made up of a series of intertwining stories.

It begins with a couple that is still dating after seven years because the guy refuses to get married. There’s a couple that got married right after college, when the wife gave her husband the ultimatum: get hitched or get out.

There’s the single girl who falls in love with a married man. And there’s the girl who represents the part in all of us that is completely confused by men. She makes a fool out of herself just trying to understand them.

Outside the theater, the scene was reminiscent of the opening night of “Sex and the City.” The line of women waiting to get tickets stretched all the way around the corner.

But this movie left a lasting impression that wasn’t to be expected from just any chic-flick.

It was a little painful to watch, because the story on the screen revealed a deep truth about relationships. A truth that many women ignore, hoping that they are the exceptions to the rule.

What do women do when a guy is into them? The truth is simple, if hard to admit. Most women make excuses, tell themselves he’s just busy, or afraid to commit. They waste valuable time searching for the reasons why he didn’t call. But in the end, the reality is simple. He’s just not that into you!

The bottom line is this: if a guy likes a girl, he will call her. So ladies, don’t sit around, waiting for his call. Instead, spend time with the loved ones that matter.
