He's Just Not That Into You - Review

Under discussion:

An Altmanesque romantic comedy for the dwindling subset of Generation X that still identifies with that moniker, He's Just Not That Into You is a rather uncomplicated examination of modern relationships and the havoc that the act of examining them causes the individuals involved. Set against the lovely urban paradise known as Baltimore, the film floats its attention between nine individuals desperately trying to find love and maintain a lasting relationship amid the whirlwind of advice from friends, family, coworkers and overly sentimental consciences. The startling amount of A-list thespians littering the screen surprisingly blend together rather harmoniously: characters are developed and individual story arcs completed without any single one trying to overshadow the other. Obviously the result of a television obsessed society, the later portion of the film falls prey to annoyingly sporadic jumps between the parallel story-lines, however, the film remains true to its focus on relationships and thusly succeeds with its thoughtfully articulated dialogue and insightful ruminations on love.
