He's Just Not That Into You - 29th May 2012

So what magical movie moments do we have this week, for our Tuesday Night is Film Night?
Well, you may ask.
And you may also ask; "was it any good"............. just wait and see, as we dissect tonight's film;

He's Just Not That Into You

So, based on the book; He's Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys, by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo.
He's Just Not That Into You follows the lives on an intermingled group of Baltimore residents, who are either in a relationship, desperate for a relationship, or unsure what relationship they want.

IMDB says that the film deals; "....with the challenges of reading or misreading human behaviour.....", which just about sums it up.

In reality, the 129 minutes of movie, were filled with several different segments weakly linked, by an even weaker storyline. The characters were two dimensional, the dialogue was stunted, the outcomes were obvious and the whole thing could have been edited down into a smaller, more condensed form, that would have been punchier, more succinct and less inflated with unnecessary plot lines.

The only saving grace was the last 20 minutes, when the loose ends were tied up and some nice conclusions were drawn.

Not a film that we will be rushing out to get on DVD.
