What can I say about
He's Just Not That Into You? One word: HORRIBLE. I really don't have much else to say. Sorry, no in depth analysis or critical scene by scene analysis. This movie was so unbelievably crappy that I really don't want to put in the time, nor the effort to verbally destroy this huge piece of shit of a movie. I believe the conversation that the studio execs had while deciding to make this film went a little something like this:
"Hey, I know this movie is crap, but let's just pay a bunch of big movie stars to be in it"
"Yeah, that's a great idea. That'll make people want to pay to see it"
"Yeah, and let's release it on Valentine's Day weekend so that couples HAVE to see this sorry excuse for a film"
"Great idea!"
"I mean even if we have a horrible script, bad directing and a shitty soundtrack, so what? We can just get a bunch of A-listers to join the cast and it will be ALL worth it."
"Yay money!!!!!"

Yeah let me put more emphasis on that last point about the music for this film. So cliché that I wanted to gag myself. Keane's
Somewhere Only We Know ENDLESSLY looping during a heartfelt confession scene, I thought I was going to vomit all over the person in front of me. And if you've seen the soundtrack on iTunes, you should take note of the last track as it is sung by none other than Scarlet Johansson. To use one of her lines from the film: "Oh. My. God." voiced like a complete and total moron, as SJo so aptly does in one of the first scenes. If you've never heard SJo sing before, I highly recommend you taking a-listen to this:
SJo sings. WOW. She really needs to stick to acting, though she's a pretty overrated in my opinion. And why is Woody Allen so crazy about her?? Maybe we should ask his adopted daughter...I mean wife.
If Meryl Streep ever saw this script, I'm sure she would light it on fire or flush it down the toilet. I give
He's Just Not That Into You 1 Meryl.
