He's Just Not That Into You

Rent & Buy
Remember that really cute girl/guy who said they'd call – and didn't? Maybe they lost your number. Maybe they're in the hospital. Maybe they're awed by your looks, brains or success. Or maybe... They're just not that into you.
What critics thought
Critics were largely cold on this ensemble romantic comedy, finding its sprawling cast of characters spread too thin to generate much genuine feeling. The central complaint was that the film mistakes relationship anxiety for insight, trading in stereotypes rather than people — and most reviewers found its vision of female desire particularly reductive.
“these aren't people, they're pages from self-help manuals”
Moira Macdonald·The Seattle Times
“Here's a true S&M date movie. Only sadistic men and masochistic women could love it.”
Peter Travers·Rolling Stone
“No one has anything to distract them from the minutiae of their love lives, which they proceed to incinerate through overanalysis. It's a moral fable, maybe, if you make half a million a year.”
John Anderson·Variety
“grotesque representation of female desire”
