He's Just Not That Into You is like reliving your 20s, without any of the fun.

I thought there was a level of sophistication in the relationships that I certainly did not expect.

The movie gets smothered by one romantic comedy cliché after another.

'He's Just Not That Into You' - a RomCom, yes, but also a pretty good film

This is a movie for people who can't get enough of Sex and the City and are willing to settle for clones.

Like that's a problem for Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Connelly and the rest of these people.

Your men folk will be bored out of their minds but you've dragged them to worse. It tries hard anyway. And since the whole thing is about advice on men let me give some; never take relationship advice from Candace Bushnell.

He's Just Not That Into You wishes it were Love, Actually crossed with The Break-Up, but it plays more like a horror movie for the WASP set.

Appealing but unsurprising romcom dispenses familiar wisdom.

Works as an hour episode of Oprah or a thirty-minute episode of Sex and the City, but as a full length movie -- I'm just not that into it.

The movie plays like a television sitcom without the laugh track (and without the laughs).

Everyone pitches in, but it isn't enough to rescue a tedious, fragmented, scattershot script.

A how-to happy ending training manual for aspiring female objects of desire, while movies about men have to do with the really big challenges they face, like beating up alien invaders or saving the planet. Doormat duty alert: She's Just Not That Onto You.

Despite some definite tendencies toward the formulaic, He's Just Not That Into You actually has half a brain in its head.

It's really a relationship comedy more than a romantic comedy, since a lot of the film is concerned with demonstrating when one should walk away, rather than when to lean in for the kiss and cleave.

This voyeuristic escapist fare offers a mixed bag of goodies.

People often do stupid things for love. That doesn't mean it's worth making a movie about these acts of folly.

He's Just Not That Into You is a standard chick flick, which isn't necessarily a bad thing: it's cute and comic and organized according to fixed, mostly ancient gender roles.

Audience Reviews for He's Just Not That Into You

Wow, Ginnifer Goodwin and Scarlett Johansson really did womankind a huuuuge favour by portraying women as unstable, nervous wrecks who spend their entire lives obsessing over signals from men as opposed to, oh, say, doing work or anything. I added half a star for the more mature relationship between Ben Affleck's

Somewhat painful, but the faux-documentary style was charming and the all-star cast did a lot to make the movie feel authentic. A few great lines in the movie, but too much space between them. I couldn't help thinking that this movie is a poor man's "Crazy Stupid Love" throughout its entirety ... which, from me, is
