Cons: Not as funny as I expected and 2 very annoying characters.

This review contains spoilers. I saw this movie expecting it to be a laugh-fest. Not the case. It was much more serious than I expected. Not that that’s a bad thing. But when I go into a movie expecting the aforesaid laugh-fest, and I end ...

Pros: acting, story
Cons: none

He's Just Not That Into You was an funny, entertaining movie. I know it was a movie based on a self-help relationship book that was based off a Sex-in-the-City episode. But we will just have to forgive its ancestry. I found this movie to have an ...

Occasionally funny.
Cons: Too long.
Mostly annoying characters.

I was pretty excited to watch this movie. It has an all-star cast: Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Scarlett Johansson, and Jennifer Connelly to name a few. Being a fan of Sex and the City, I knew that the original (self-help) book that the film ...
