Movie Review: He’s Just Not That Into You

Before we dive right into the review, I must first say, “Shame on me.”

Why you might ask? Because I’ve knowingly seen a movie before reading the book. Yesterday I saw He’s Just Not That Into You and loved it. Hilarious. Definitely going on my must buy list for rewatching movie marathons. I’m thinking it’d go great with Devil Wears Prada, Sex and the City and Over Her Dead Body. Got a slumber party coming up? Plan to do manicures and pedicures around these gems.

The basic plot of He’s Just Not That Into You is showing how different relationships work between men and women – and especially those fledgling relationships on the dating scene. All the characters somehow know each other and could feasibly all end up at the same party. I’ll do a little break down of the characters:

Gigi played by Ginnifer Goodwin was a doll. I just loved her. She’s sort of the main character. Her love life is one bumbling screw up after another. Chasing Conor (Kevin Connolly) leads her to Alex (Justin Long) who sits her down to give her some valuable advice about how men brush women off.

Conor is hopelessly in love with a girl who frankly – is just not that into him. The girl in question is Scarlett Johansson’s character Anna. As far as I can tell Anna is a somewhat decent girl who winds up on the worst path to love I could possibly think of all due to her friend Mary (Drew Barrymore) and her advice. Anna’s end is not particularly happy.

Neil (Ben Affleck) has been in a committed relationship with Beth (Jennifer Aniston) for seven years. Neil is not interested in marriage. Frankly despises the constitution and (if I may put words in his mouth) thinks it’s worse than all the greeting card holidays combined. His friend Ben (Bradley Cooper) is a case in point against marriage. Ben feels like he’s been forced into it and is resenting his wife Janine (Jennifer Connelly) more and more.

How does everything work out? Will everything work out? Who knows but sit back and enjoy the ride. If the book is anything like the movie - snap it up!

Shall We Make Jonathan Rhys Meyers the Next Fabio?

I think Jonathan Rhys Meyers would make a wonderful addition to romance covers, don't you? He's such a dish! Absolutely scrumptious! I could watch him all day and I have on one of my Tudor marathons. Thank you for on demand!

Jonathan makes a great King Henry, and being such a stud, it's no wonder girls flock to him. I think he could grace 400 or more romance covers before get got sick of him surely. His body is the perfect proportion of muscle and leanness.

Did you know he's played 3 King characters? Elvis twice in the movie and mini series, and King Henry VIII. He could in my opinion play as knights in shining armor and hunky highlanders not to mention a prince or two! Perhaps even the occasional pirate.

On the subject of acting and sheer masculine beauty Meyers has this to say--

"To get up in front of a camera of course you have to have a certain amount of vanity. All acting is narcissism in some way. Would I be a narcissistic person? Absolutely. Am I vain? Absolutely. Any actor who sits down in front of you and tells you they're not vain its bullshit. I'm sure a lot of actors are like 'Oh no, I'm not vain I just look fabulous everyday'. Now they'd like to believe that themselves. Its all very carefully manipulated, and I've met and worked with some of the most beautiful actors in the world and then you see them on a cover of a magazine they don't look like that, any of them, they just don't."

His is a vanity that I don't mind at all. Now if only I could find out if he was seeing anybody! And speaking of dating brings me to another Meyers quote.

Meyers once said, "... I wouldn't date an actress. There's only room for one actor in my life and I'm it. Too difficult. On the one hand, they understand the job. But on the other hand, it's very competitive within the relationship. Two actors, say one becomes a mega-star and the other doesn't. Happens all the time. So one is getting so much attention, and the other person feels jealous."

I'll date you sweetheart! Drop me a line and I'll email you my phone number! Grin.

I also found this fabulous little interview with Meyers about falling in love. It's Tudor related so it's like a double bonus!
