Movie Review: He's Just Not That Into You

Sooo last night, Ryan got called in to work the night shift at the hospital. I spent a couple of hours getting things ready for my job interview today, and then I decided to rent a movie-He's Just Not That Into You. I picked this one because it's not really a movie you'd watch with your boyfriend or husband...although they might like it without admitting it.
One thing I liked about this movie was the cast-it had many of my favorite actors and actresses in it. However, their characters seemed to be kind of newer versions of characters they've played in the past; i.e. Scarlett Johanssen being a sort of homewrecker, Bradley Cooper (hottt...) as a sort of player or sleazbag, take your pick...Drew Barrymore being unlucky in love...you get the point. But, they were still good and funny and entertaining even so.
I think this is a really great movie for all the girls (and guys) out there who just don't think they deserve love as the real thing. It's sad to say that I've witnessed this many times with different people I know; they seem to attract people who just want to treat them badly, or they just hide from dating for fear of rejection, or they obsess over their significant others until they are simply exhausted...all because they lack confidence or they don't like themselves and feel they can't do better and don't deserve to be happy. It's depressing, yet so often true. I know, I've been there too...I think everyone has. So, really, I think mostly everyone can relate to this movie on some kind of personal level...and even laugh at themselves and perhaps learn a new way of looking at the whole love thing.
One thing that bothered me about this movie was, not ALL guys are evil, not all guys try to play women. My husband to be is one of those guys who is who he is, he never has played mind games, and never claimed to be in love when he wasn't. I know there are others out there too. This movie made me a little frustrated at how it portrayed guys as these pigs on a never-ending quest for domination and sex. It also kind of made girls out to be pushovers--which although there are both male (and female) players and weakminded girls (and guys) out there, it just isn't always the case. This movie made me really happy and feel really blessed to have the guy I do. I hope there are more girls out there who can say that as well after seeing He's Just Not Into You.
Maybe that was one goal of the writers/director of this one? Hmmm...
