Movie Review- He's just not that into you

And again with the movie review!

Monday was He's Just Not That Into You.

Now this movie was a chick flick, no doubt, but it had elements of it that made it bit more guy friendly than the usual. HJNTIY (Because the name is too damn long to type over and over ><) is clever, as expected, and moves quick. The Director, Ken Kwapis, included quick and funny interview statements at the beginning of each section, and they work very well at tying the movie together.

Great ensemble cast, right off the bat- each actor had their own opportunity to shine (although I would have liked to see a bit more of Barrymore). Also, Affleck is back! Haven't seen him since Smoking Aces, but he hasn't lost his touch doing his daddy duties. There are a lot of quick, surprising cameos, including one of the Author of the book the movie is based off of as a minister for Aniston's sister's wedding. The real standout in the movie, for me, was Jennifer Connelly. She had the opportunity to show off a full range of emotions while being clever and quirky at the same time.

All in all, its a good date movie. But be warned- If you're not that into your date, this movie will totally give you up.

So, 3.7 out of 5.

Review coming soon! Australia!
