He's Just Not That Into You (2009) 7/10

Starring : Ginnifer Goodwin, Scarlett Johansson, Bradley Cooper, Justin Long, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Connelly, Drew Barrymore
Director : Ken Kwapis
Running Time : 130 mins

A series of oddly related Baltimore ladies desperately try to figure out how the mind of the average man works. Primarily there's Gigi Haim (Goodwin), who just can't tell that the men she dates are terrible people. There's Anna (Johansson) who finds herself having an elicit affair with a married man. There's Beth (Aniston), whose boyfriend doesn't want to commit to marriage. And there;s Mary (Barrymore), who spends her free time looking for the perfect man on My Space.

This was better than I thought, but still incredibly long. With a run time of over two hours, this really could have done with a major edit, but thanks to the four or five stories going on it went a lot faster than I imagined. Fans of chick flicks and rom coms will enjoy this, but there isn't much for anyone else, and I hated that Ben Affleck came out looking like a good guy!
