He's Just Not That Into You

Blu-Ray Review: Dull Special Features For Cute ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’

BrianTT — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 18:16:51 -0600

CHICAGO – Ken Kwapis’ “He’s Just Not That Into You” is far from a romantic comedy masterpiece but it’s a decent genre entry with an immensely likable cast that will probably entice more than a few renters and maybe even a few buyers. They deserve a better Blu-Ray.

Blu-Ray Rating: 2.5/5.0

Like a night of speed dating, “He’s Just Not That Into You” is a mixed bag of hits and misses with enough quality acting and likable characters to recommend a rental but a film that ultimately doesn’t live up to the pedigree of its cast or the potential of its concept.

Ginnifer Goodwin (who steals the film overall) stars as Gigi and, considering she narrates the film and most of the characters spin off from her plot arc, the lead of the story. Gigi is stuck in the cliches of dating that we’re all taught from an early age like “he’s mean to you because he likes you” and “don’t call him, he’ll call you.”

Gigi goes out on a first date with real estate agent Conor (Kevin Connolly) and becomes obsessed with the young man, watching the phone and going by his regular haunt just to see if he’s there.

That’s where Gigi runs into Alex (Justin Long), a bartender who breaks the truth to the sweet girl - he’s just not that into you. Of course, being a romantic comedy, it’s only a matter of time before Alex IS into Gigi.

That arc would be enough for one romantic comedy but it’s just the beginning of this “Short Cuts”-esque tapestry of chick flick stories. It turns out that Conor isn’t into Gigi is because he’s still hung up with Anna (Scarlett Johannson), who happens to be falling for the married Ben (Bradley Cooper).

Ben is married to Janine (Jennifer Connelly), who also happens to work with Gigi. Ben is good friends with Neil (Ben Affleck), the longtime boyfriend of Beth (Jennifer Aniston), who ALSO happens to work with Gigi. And I haven’t even mentioned Drew Barrymore. The pile-up of coincidental connections is one of the failures of the script. I longed for ONE character not related by one degree of separation to every other one.

“He’s Just Not That Into You” works because writers Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein don’t make the common mistake of modern romantic comedy by either populating them with hateful jerks or complete morons and they consciously avoid pratfuls, bodily humor or montages set to the latest pop tune.

Goodwin, Affleck, and Aniston are very good. Conversely, Cooper’s role doesn’t seem very believable and Jennifer Connelly seems lost, unable to figure this character out. The 129-minute running time is also far too long.

I’m also a little disturbed by the overriding depression on display in “He’s Just Not That Into You”. The film could have been more fun. Believe it or not, people do actually get together without so much angst.

“He’s Just Not That Into You” is clearly worth a rental but the Blu-Ray release is disappointing. Director Ken Kwapis does an intriguing commentary over about 14 minutes of deleted scenes. Why not do a commentary over the whole film? It’s disappointing that he chose not to.

And the featurettes are all very brief. The “Baltimore Blade” special feature provides brief (2-3 minute) interviews with not the actors but their characters. Because we all want two more minutes with Janine. It’s annoying, misguided, and poorly organized.

The two behind-the-scenes features total about 15 minutes in length. It’s a shockingly short collection of special features for a film that clearly took a lot of effort from a lot of people on-camera alone.

‘He’s Just Not That Into You’ is released by Warner Brothers Home Video and stars Ben Affleck, Ginnifer Goodwin, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Connolly, Jennifer Connelly, Scarlett Johansson, Bradley Cooper, Drew Barrymore, and Justin Long. It was written by Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein, and directed by Ken Kwapis. The Blu-Ray and DVD were released on June 2nd, 2009. It is rated PG-13.

Audiences Are Into ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’ With $27 Million Opening

BrianTT — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 12:01:06 -0700

CHICAGO – The New Line romantic comedy “He’s Just Not That Into You,” starring Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johansson, Bradley Cooper, Drew Barrymore, Justin Long, Jennifer Connelly, Kevin Connolly, and Ginnifer Goodwin, took the number one spot at the box office this weekend with an estimated $27.5 million and the best per screen total ($8,650) in the top ten.

“He’s Just Not That Into You” easily beat three other new films - “Coraline,” “The Pink Panther 2,” and “Push”.

The Liam Neeson action flick “Taken” had an amazing second weekend, dropping only 18% for a total of $20.3 million from Friday to Sunday and a remarkable $53.4 million in its first ten days of release. Word-of-mouth is clearly very positive on “Taken”.

Henry Selick’s “Coraline” tallied the second highest per screen average of the weekend and a very impressive total of $16.3 million. Great reviews for the film featuring voice work by Dakota Fanning and Teri Hatcher helped the film’s opening weekend tally.

Good reviews and word-of-mouth may have helped “Taken” and “Coraline,” but the fourth place finisher, “The Pink Panther 2” suffered from the opposite - bad reviews and proof that you can’t fool an audience twice. $12 million earned the film a fourth place finish, but that was 40% lower than the first Steve Martin remake three years ago. Audiences clearly weren’t clamoring for another “Pink Panther” movie and it seems like a third entry is now unlikely.

The biggest hit of the year, Kevin James’ “Paul Blart: Mall Cop” fell only 20% in its fourth weekend and held on to the top five with $11 million and an amazing $97 million to date. “Paul Blart” has shattered all expectations and proven that counterprogramming against serious Oscar fare in January is a smart strategy.

The final new film of the weekend, “Push” with Chris Evans and Dakota Fanning, was dead on arrival with a dismal $10.2 million in its first frame.

The rest of the top ten were filled out by “Gran Torino” ($7.4 million and $120.3 million to date), “Slumdog Millionaire” ($7.4 million and $77.4 million to date), “The Uninvited” ($6.4 million and $18.4 million to date), and “Hotel For Dogs” ($5.8 million and $55.2 million to date).

Challengers to “He’s Just Not That Into You” for next week’s box office crown include Isla Fisher’s “Confessions of a Shopaholic,” Clive Owen’s “The International,” and the Marcus Nispel remake of “Friday the 13th”.

Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Ginnifer Goodwin Nearly Save ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’

BrianTT — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 23:01:00 -0700

CHICAGO – If you’ve ever been speed dating or even just on a series of dates in a short period of time, it’s not that different from the back and forth between good and bad in the latest romantic comedy, “He’s Just Not That Into You,” a mixed bag of cliches, comedy, coincidences, and cute coupling starring Jennifer Aniston, Ginnifer Goodwin, and many, many more.

Rating: 3.0/5.0

Just recapping the “Short Cuts”-esque plot of “He’s Just Not That Into You” practically requires a flow chart to keep track of all the characters and how they are coincidentally related or hooked up. The film is narrated by and most of the characters spiral off of Gigi (Ginnifer Goodwin), a poor woman stuck in the cliches of dating that we’re taught from an early age like “he’s mean to you because he likes you” and “don’t call him, he’ll call you.”

Read Brian Tallerico’s full review of “He’s Just Not That Into You” in our reviews section.

Gigi is cute but also pretty damaged by a string of dates that went nowhere and men who never called her back. After a good first date with real estate agent Conor (Kevin Connolly), Gigi obsessively watches the phone and goes as far as dropping by Conor’s regular hang-out just to see if he’s there.

As his bar-managing friend Alex (Justin Long) brutally tells poor Gigi, he’s just not that into her. Of course, being a romantic comedy, it’s only a matter of time before the callous Alex falls head over heels for sweet Gigi.

Continuing reading for Brian Tallerico’s full “He’s Just Not That Into You” review.

‘He’s Just Not That Into You’ stars Ben Affleck, Ginnifer Goodwin, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Connolly, Jennifer Connelly, Scarlett Johansson, Bradley Cooper, Drew Barrymore, and Justin Long. It was written by Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein, and directed by Ken Kwapis. It opens on February 6th, 2009, and is rated PG-13.

On one of their trips to a secondhand book shop, Mo locates a book he’s been searching for since Meggie was three years old, when her mother, Resa, vanished into its mystical world. But Mo’s plan to use the book to find and rescue Resa is thwarted when Capricorn, the evil villain of Inkheart, kidnaps Meggie and, discovering she has inherited her father’s gift, demands that she bring to life his most powerful ally, the Shadow.

Almost 20 years later, Mike’s glory days are decidedly behind him. His marriage to Scarlett has fallen apart, he has been passed over for a promotion at work, his teenage kids think he is a loser, and he has been reduced to crashing with his high school nerd-turned-techno-billionaire best friend Ned.
