He’s Just Not That Into You *Spoilers*
I’ve been excited about this movie for a long time. Sex and The City is one of my all time favorite series and I think it is funny but at the same time cool that one single episode sparked a book, and now a movie. This review will include lots of spoilers, so don’t read if you haven’t seen the movie yet! First of all, the crazy cast of this movie should be a sure fire sign it might be bad. (Or maybe this is just a personal rule of mine. Too many stars equals less than stellar script.) I laughed during the movie, but also wanted to punch some characters at times, namely Neil (Ben Affleck’s character) at the end, even though I have his less than mainstream view on marriage, or his feelings toward it before he caved and conformed. This might make some women cringe, but I think Janine (Jennifer Connelly’s character) deserved what she got. You trick a guy into marrying you before he’s ready and what do you expect? To live happily ever after with no issues? She was my least favorite person in the movie. Maybe it’s because when I went to a taping of Conan in December she was a guest and was so boring I wanted to cry. I thought Scarlett Johansson, aka Anna, was adorable in the movie, even if she was the other woman and all. The character of Gigi (played by the darling dimple queen, Ginnifer Goodwin) was a pitiful representation of women, panting them to be desperate, stupid, and with no goals of their own in life besides landing a man.
That’s all I have for now. It was an okay movie, good for a few laughs but I don’t know if I would watch it again. It is a fun escape if you don’t take it too seriously.
I’m working on my reviews of some Sundance films I saw this year and should have those up next week!
