Movie Review: 'He's just not that into you'

'He's Just Not That Into You' would be one hell of a social experiment and something I would love to see tested using a TV channel political debate as people flip flop on social dating issues as the movie plays on.

Sure, the movie isn't very good, and could be conceived as an insult to all women and basically proves the chase involved in finding that perfect person is pretty much fruitless and a waste of time and causes only heart ache and misery ultimately placing you in a situation you didn't originally want to be in, but you somehow now find yourself volunteering for. Sounds exciting right?

Surprisingly enough this is exactly the type of inane crud women apparently buy into. The idea that women bought into Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo's book of which this film is based on in the first place is scary enough. For example, did you know that if a man doesn't call you back after you have called him every 15 minutes for the past six hours he isn't interested in you? Or if he's married? Or if he is sleeping with someone else? The fact someone could write a bestselling book based on this premise and pawn it off as actual advice as opposed to common knowledge is shocking, then to turn around and make a film about it is the last line of defense between being a member of the human race and prescribing to the idea we are all just dogs sniffing each others' behinds.

Sold as a relationship comedy the film centers on a large group of spoiled and socially inept people who all live in some of the most gorgeous houses, condos and apartments you can imagine. And when they aren't retiring from their stressful lives in their plush pads they are kicked out by their significant other and forced to live on their boat. Boo hoo, life is so tough, all I ever did was love her. The film runs the gamut on nitwits and social retards to the occasional level headed thinkers who are just down on their luck. This last group I can muster some sympathy for, but the rest are either too dumb to exist or too mean to even deserve happiness.

This is the film your girlfriend will want to go see and you will have to go with them. If you are married I pray it's a strong relationship or you may be getting some questioning looks in the days to follow. Like I said, just watching this film is a social experiment and going to the theater to watch it should be considered extra credit.
