Morphing
the book into a workable and believable screenplay seemed like it must have
effortless and fun to do at the same time. The cast consists of nine people,
five women and four men who all live in Baltimore, but have Six Degrees of
Separation from each other. Gigi (Ginnifer Goodwin) works with Beth (Jennifer
Aniston) and Janine (Jennifer Connelly) who bought a house from Connor (Kevin
Connolly) who places ads with Mary (Drew Barrymore) but has never met. Anna
(Scarlet Johansson) falls for married Ben (Bradley Cooper) who is best friends
with Neil (Ben Affleck) who is with Jennifer Aniston. The movie revolves around
the friendship between Gigi and Alex (Justin Long) who, as a bartender, is more
insightful and honest about mens true intentions than any Harvard PhD.
Throughout the movie it gives you not only the truth about what really happens
on dates but also a play-by-play description of what goes on on both sides.
What people say is not always what they mean and when confronted you become The
Psycho. 
This
movie will definitely be enjoyed by those out there in the dating scene as well
as those in relationships that have to deal with their collective Ups and
Downs. Though this movie is written for and targeted to heterosexuals, gays
will enjoy the messages and advice given as well as hot and sweet performances
by 
 The
plot of
He's
Just Not
That
Into You
chronicles
the
romantic
misadventures
of
several
individuals
in their
twenties
and
thirties.
The
common
thread
is that
one
person
in each
relationship
is more
enamored
with the
other
person
than
vice
versa.
At the
core of
these
multiple
stories
is Gigi
(Ginnifer
Goodwin),
a young
woman
who
repeatedly
misinterprets
the
signs
that men
give her
about
their
level of
interest
in her.
The more
experienced
and
romantically
successful
Alex (Justin
Long),
the
manager
of a
bar,
advises
her on
how to
understand
men.Other plotlines include married couple Janine (Jennifer Connelly) and Ben (Bradley Cooper), who are going through a rough patch—leading him to flirt with Anna (Scarlett Johansson), an aspiring singer. Anna, in turn, is dating Connor (Kevin Connolly), but is clearly less into him than he is into her. The final major plot arc is Neil (Ben Affleck) and Beth's (Jennifer Aniston) story. They have cohabited for several years, but break up when Beth desires to get married and Neil refuses. Drew Barrymore, one of the film's producers, is also featured as a newspaper editor who helps Connor promote his real-estate business |

From a very early age we are told lies about what the true nature of our actions towards the people we like means. If someone hits you or pulls your braids, Its’ because that person really likes you. At what point do the lies stop, the truth come out, and people start listening and saying what they really mean? From the very first moment that Oprah had Marc Silverstein started talking about this book he just finished, He's Just Not That Into You I knew he was onto something big. The book was created out of a need to explain the Male Psyche and give the exact tell-tale signs that females may misconstrue to give an honest account of what is going on and what will actually happen. After working with Drew Barrymore on Never Been Kissed and other female-orientated movies, as a token guy he kept getting asked “Why?” He then decided to put all his wisdom into a book. A book that sold out for months.
