He’s Just Not That into You is not your common cliché chick-flick. Yeah, some of the themes in the movie are the same and it is a little predictable, which does make it girly, but overall it is pretty realistic. This movie is about different relationships between people and how they deal with their problems. Whether the problems are dating, infidelity, or commitment, this movie covers them all. All of the individual problems the characters face are portrayed by an awesome cast including Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Connelly, Bradley Cooper, Kevin Connolly, Ginnifer Goodwin and Scarlett Johansson.

Dating is an issue for a couple of characters in the movie. Gigi (Ginnifer Goodwin) is always trying so hard to get dates and after she gives her number to any guy, she waits by the phone for hours hoping to get a call. She always gets mixed signals until the friend of one of the guys she is interested in clears her confusion up for her. His name is Alex (Justin Long); he is the one who explains the rule that, “If you can find him, then he can find you. If he wants to find you, he will." At first, Gigi is confused because she has heard of stories that didn’t follow that, but Alex says anything against that rule is an exception. This helps Gigi clear her head, but as she makes sense of what Alex tells her, she finds herself interested in Alex. However, she soon realizes that he does not feel the same.

Mary, (Drew Barrymore) is always looking for dates online, but doesn’t have much luck with that. She is always left feeling rejected and disconnected because she is always using technology to find a date. When she finally starts to get fed up, Mary explains, “I had this guy leave me a voice mail at work, so I called him at home, and then he emailed me to my BlackBerry, and so I texted to his cell, and now you just have to go around checking all these different portals just to get rejected by seven different technologies. It’s exhausting.” Her story in the movie shows the cons that technology-based dating can bring.

Dating is also a problem for Beth (Jennifer Aniston) and Neil (Ben Affleck), but in a different way. They’ve been together for seven years and Beth wants to get married. However, Neil isn’t ready for the commitment. He keeps coming up with excuses of why they shouldn’t get married, but Beth really wants to. This problem is too big of an issue to deal with, so they fight a lot and eventually break up because of it. The movie shows how they try to work through this problem.

The last two couples have intertwined stories. The first couple, Janine (Jennifer Connelly) and Ben (Bradley Cooper), are just-married and are struggling with trust and commitment. The second couple, Connor (Kevin Connolly) and Anna, (Scarlett Johansson) have issues because they don’t want the same things out of life. When Ben and Anna meet up at a grocery store they become attracted to each other, but when Ben tries to keep himself away from Anna it doesn’t work. This creates chaos in both of their lives.

When all's said and done, each of these stories comes to a conclusion, in some cases good and in some cases bad, but you will have to go see the movie to find out how all of the stories turn out! The overall message is really interesting and it is totally worth seeing! The best part about He’s Just Not That into You is the mixture of comedy and drama. I would definitely give this movie five stars!
