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.

Critics' reviews

"The movie version dramatizes this insight with comic vignettes played by actors who are really too good for this rom-com. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)."

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"'He's Just Not That Into You' succeeds more with clever one-liners than in its uneven scenarios. But it's light and entertaining, and its heart -- visible amid the cynicism -- is in the right place (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"

Claudia Puig: USA Today
"What makes this one a cut above the generic is a tart dose of drama and hard-bitten intelligence amid the candy corn"

Colin Covert: Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Are women desperate or just desperately stupid? This is the misogynist question at the core of He's Just Not That Into You, a women-bashing tract disguised as a chick flick (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"It has all the depth of a television sitcom parody. In the end, it's hard to tell who is more miserable -- the losers on the screen or the victims in the audience"

Rex Reed: The New York Observer
