“He’s Just Not That Into You” had some good advice for women, but it should have taken some advice on how to make a decent chick flick. The acting was lackluster; the script was meh, and I barely even faked a laugh. I was pretty disappointed because of the potential that this movie had. They should have just left it as a one-liner in the “Sex and the City” episode that it came from. It was funnier and interesting to hear Berger tell Miranda this, and her sharing the wealth with some reluctant women.

Even though I kind of forwarded through the movie, I did have to say that the advice is sound. I even see myself doing this with my daughter. “Oh honey, that boy is bothering you cause he likes you.” It did make me start thinking about what I say to my daughter and friends when it comes to “guy advice.” However, I probably would have gotten more from just reading the book of the same name from Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo, instead of being tortured to watch the entire film.

The character that annoyed me the most was Gigi. She had this desperate personality when it came to men and then wondered why they ran away. It was worst because the one guy who would probably run faster when dealing with her is the one who was the love interest. If they wanted to keep it real and make it as a self-help guide for women to understand men, it should have been more realistic.

I hate when movies have potential to be great, but then end up like this one. Let’s hope that the next chick flick isn’t as bland as this one.
