He's Just Not That Into You

cast: Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Connelly, Kevin Connolly, Bradley Cooper, Ginnifer Goodwin, Scarlett Johansson, Justin Long

Synopsis:

A group of interconnected, Baltimore-based twenty- and thirty-somethings navigate their various relationships from the shallow end of the dating pool through the deep, murky waters of married life, trying to read the signs of the opposite sex... and hoping to be the exceptions to the "no-exceptions" rule.


Gigi just wants a man who says he'll call—and does—while Alex advises her to stop sitting by the phone. Beth wonders if she should call it off after years of committed singlehood with her boyfriend, Neil, but he doesn't think there's a single thing wrong with their unmarried life. Janine's not sure if she can trust her husband, Ben, who can't quite trust himself around Anna. Anna can't decide between the sexy married guy, or her straightforward, no-sparks standby, Conor, who can't get over the fact that he can't have her. And Mary, who's found an entire network of loving, supportive men, just needs to find one who's straight.


If you've ever sat by the phone wondering why he said he would call, but didn't, or if you can't figure out why she doesn't want to sleep with you anymore, or why your relationship just isn't going to the next level... he (or she) is just not that into you.

My movie review:

Before I've watched the movie I've decided on giving up on love. Of finding my prince. I guess I am tired of waiting for him to come along. It's like every year that comes, I am anticipating and hoping that he would finally come. But he doesn't. So sad. It's like it's going to be like this forever. It goes on and on. When will this stop? Is he coming? I don't know. I feel like it's now or never.


But after watching the movie, I've come to realized that I shouldn't give up on love no matter how sad and frustrated I am right now. No matter how many heartaches I have encountered in the past. I should not stop looking for it. It would come when it's time.I have to keep my faith on it. Maybe he is just around the corner. Who knows?


The movie has many love and relationship lessons. The role of a man is to chase. So girls, don't do the thing. Let him chase you until you can catch him. It has also different views on marriage. A woman no matter how liberated she is always wants to get married. To have a man propose to her and ask her to be his wife. I cried when Ben Affleck propose to Jennifer Aniston. It was so casual and very touching. He did it in the most unexpected time when Jennifer had come to terms that Ben doesn't believe in marriage. She accepted it because of her love for him. The important thing is that they love each other and commit to each other. The scene was so beautiful. I can't help but cry. Wishing that one day it would finally happen to me. (sigh)
