The writers and makers of "He's Just Not That Into You" know nothing about real romance and how real people interact in the dating World. Being in the dating World now I didn't believe anything the characters in this movie said or did was believable for a second. It is fake, cloying and dumb and it really frustrated me because I didn't laugh once and I found no one to identify with. This movie is 2 hours and 10 minutes long. Seriously? a light romantic comedy is over 2 hours? Seriously? This is never ending and insufferable and I was staring at the walls most of the time trying to figure out how cold it was going to be the next day. There are big stars in this like Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Connelly, Ben Affleck and Scarlett Johansson but I forgot if I ever saw them. They aren't really in it at all, they show up for five minutes then leave for a half hour and come back for five more minutes. That makes this pretty much a rip off and most of the movie is devoted to Justin Long and Ginnifer Goodwin who are two great actors and future stars. They are sweet and good but the things they are made to say and do are so predictable and annoying. This is another in a long line of bad romantic comedies and you should skip it and go see "500 Days of Summer" to see how it is really done. It is now on DVD and it is 2 hours and 10 minutes. Seriously?
